Good Morning! I am your teacher!

Happy Teachers Day! (It really was Teachers Day in China!) 
The teacher or the students?
  • Who was more nervous?
  • Who is more tired?
  • Who is more excited?

One student put it well, "I am excited to start a new." Well, we will work on completing her thought, but she makes her point well. I have the honor of teaching freshmen this year. This means that today, my class was the students first experience in a college. I was so glad they were willing and excited to participate in the lesson. I am thrilled to be able to work with these students are more who I'll meet later this week. They have a desire to learn. They are thirsty. They are experiencing many new things and trying to make sense of it all. While I may be there teacher, in many ways I can relate to their feelings as the tenderly, but with courage step into each new day. 


Meet my first two classes of students! Hopefully they will always be this wide awake at 8:00 and 10:00 am!

P.S. If anyone can pronounce or has met someone named Virat or Lrenne I'd be interested to hear about them.
