It has begun! Wonderful children, and lots of work! :) I must say that I am happy for some time this weekend to do a good job of preparing for next week, but I am rather enjoying, yes, even the early wake up hour! Yesterday were introductions, today they students got their syllabus and books. I learned a new term last night called 3rd generation culture. It is true of many of my students. Many of the Students at Crossroads have 2 parents from 2 very different cultures. These cultures have synthesized and created my now student, who is growing up in a totally different culture from what is native to his or her parents.
And the rest of the week....well, I'm watching a bit of Whoopi Goldberg....Sister Act. I have befriended a wonderful cat named Tic-Toc, he greats us at the door, in and out, of course close to dinner time.... and we found a puppy across the road, whom I want to adopt, unfortunately he looks like he might be owned, he just may have worms (most likely) and a bum leg!
Well I miss you all lots and lots! I'll write more soon, I know I am leaving out some things that I had wanted to tell you...me and my short-term memory!
Sister Act is the reason I went into Music Education!
ReplyDeleteYAY! "Wonderful children and lots of work:)" is exactly what we've been praying for! God is so faithful and He loves you, sister. I am sooo glad that you are there to love on and teach those kids, and absorb the culture. BIG HUG!!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun!!! So I married a third culture kid, in some respects (well, parents are from one culture, and he lived in another culture altogether...) It's pretty awesome, and I think we may have some books to recommend if needed!
