I Begin My Work as a Teacher

Taught my first class today. Nice to get into that routine, after the endless hospital, immigration office, and bank visits. The kids are adorable. It’s a bit difficult to know how to teach them, though, because language education starts so much earlier. I can’t teach the 5th graders, for example, like I would 8th graders—but, by 5th grade, they’ve already had two years of English language, just like 8th grade American kids. It’s a balance I’ll have to understand. I hope I make a good teacher. It’s not exactly a trait I possess naturally.
