Thank me for my hard work to accomplish my personally assignments as well as my job duties. I stayed up all night writing up my assignments; and still afforded to go to work and assisted those poor students with their homework while translating the language at the same time. I did a little bite of teaching too. Many students think that they feel comfortable working with me since they understand me better than the native volunteers. However, I told them that they would be better off learning from the native speakers.
I was quite busy, I recall. I could not have time to grab something to eat. However, it did not bother me at all because I got used to it. I was growing up at a refugee camp where I did eat once a day. This particular day, I worked with some students on their citizenship questions and homework. Some of the homework activities we worked on were "matching opposites" with pictures and words. We also studied "puzzle" for their homework, and it was fun and challenging.
How interesting a wonderful that you shared that about yourself. I bet the experience of being a refugee has given you a set of skills no one can take away from you.
ReplyDeleteI am sure those experiences make you so much more relatable to your students. Thanks for sharing!
