What goes Up comes back Down.

I believe each day is a new learning experience and a chance to learn to "go with the flow."

When thirty kids are not paying attention it can be frustrating and easy to just get angry but I've learned to instead, improvise. Ok so what? The kids are restless and can't sit still, what do I do? I take them outside! Make up a game on the spot so they can practice their english words & get them running around and all of a sudden the bored faces turn into smiles and laughter! I am truly the student here & the dominican kids are my teachers, I'm constantly learning to adapt to new situations, try new things, & to never Ever expect things to go as planned. :-)

I can't wait to start applying things I've learned here to life back in America, so many things need to change!... Ok so I know the truth hurts but here it is, we are just too darn busy and in a hurry all the time! Who cares if things don't go the way we think they should go, if they didn't we'd miss out on some great moments like trying to help my entire class build a human pyramid and then seeing them all crash to the ground and everyone laughing and having a great time. 

I'm constantly making plans, trying to stick to a schedule and make sure everything gets done, but ya know, from now on I'm looking forward to days where I can just let the Unexpected happen because its often during those moments that God says, "hey you! I'm trying to get your attention!"

Sure I could get frustrated and try to force a class to happen, but we learn so much more when we are just having Fun. I know crazy thought, fun? what's that? I work too much, I don't have time for fun! What do ya say we make a little time for fun today, you never know what you'll learn if you do. 

God Bless You, have a wonderful day, and make some time for Fun!
