Well for many people in Centerville it is the first day of school! Yay! So I hope you all have a great day! :) Today was my first day of school also, it was really something. First off, you know how I said you always sweat here cause it's so hot and humid? Well today at the school there was no AC but it was still hot and humid. I am teaching gym (they say those that can't do, teach; those that can't teach, teach gym.) so I tried explaining kickball... Imagine several little kids crying at the sight of you all at once and trying to love them makes it worse...times that by 100 and you have my day. Ivy wouldn't speak or stop screaming until the Thai teachers took her away because foreigners are mean. haha There was so awesome things that happened today though. We have four stations they attend. So I got to run around the room in dress clothes sweating. yum. As I sat the kids down I said whats my name? teacher?? and Ongry, the boy who is very fond of me, yelled teacher Gabber!! Everyone was laughing and I couldn't help but notice the large smile coming from my face. It feels nice knowing that you are helping someone gain a brighter future just by speaking, it makes you feel a sense of worth. The culture here is very different from Americans..which I'm sure you knew. I don't pass by one building without a smile or an Asain "Good Morning". And suddenly the sweat doesn't seem so bad, suddnely I realize I have it pretty good here. So that is who I am here in Thailand, Teacher Gabber.
