Chit-Chat

I really love teaching. I love communicating with my students in and out of the classroom. And I really enjoy the rare happenings when there is time to chat with my co-workers. Normally we’re coming or going from a class, and usually the language barrier is a hindrance to deep conversation. Today I was able to chat with one co-worker for 45 minutes, and then I chatted with another one for another 45 minutes. After that, a student stopped by my office to talk. It is really enjoyable to build relationships with people. It is who God created us to be. We are relational beings. There is no way around that.

My personal theme for the year is “This is the year” (quite appropriate). I’m learning what that exactly means myself.

Reason #1 This is the year I will see change in my school.
I don’t mean to be vague, but I believe it is true. And that is why I told you about having conversations with my colleagues. It’s gotta start somewhere, (though it started several years ago) and these are events that make the theme true.
