Shawn's Blog 2


The children at this school really know how to make your morning. Every morning you are greeted with the worlds biggest smiles. Today, I was working in the kindergarten classroom, and yes, that meant I had to speak Spanish. As a ex-Spanish student and a current French student, this was a daunting task; however, it was met with great aplomb. It was truly an enriching experience. I never thought that little 5 and 6 year olds would be teaching me. They didn't just teach me about Spanish, which they did, they taught me about life. Seeing young children, some of which come from poverty and broken households, having fun was truly amazing. It showed how they were able to have fun, in any situation. It also showed their love for school, because even at a young age, they know that their education is the key to "a better life". This experience is not only teaching me about Spanish culture, but also about life in general.
