These cute kids are my 5/10 students. There are 45 of them. Yesterday I had to say goodbye and I am still sad about it. It's funny, because they were the class I struggled with the most. They were my biggest class, and the difference in English abilities between them was so huge that it was hard to find a medium. I had them for four classes a week. And about once a week I left the classroom shaking with anger and frustration. Some of the students in this class were SO lazy. Some of the students I rarely ever saw. When I did, they would bring their "I don't care" 'tudes along with them. And it was frustrating. But at the end of the day, I am going to miss every single one of them. This class helped me grow as a teacher and let me understand how to deal with so many students. This class also helped many of my fears diminish. I am shy and get so nervous in front of a lot of people, even if they are years younger than me. But honestly, I feel that fear quickly disappearing after having stood in front of these 45 students 4 days a week. This class taught me patience and confidence that I hope to carry along with me through my next years of teaching. It's crazy how quickly the end of the year came up and how much I wish I just had a few more weeks with them. Goodness, I am getting tears in my eyes <3
