Me as a teacher

I don't know if you can picture me trying to capture the attention of 45 Chilean teenagers for 1.5 hours at a time, but that is what I do. I cannot believe I am a teacher. The future is in my hands, crazy.
The school I am working at is a really great school. The kids are all really nice and the other teachers are also extremely kind. Here it is pretty different because the teachers change rooms and the students stay in the same place. I am the only teacher I know of at my school that has their own classroom and they don't hold it against me, God bless them.
I will write more later, but now I must go and prepare a Power point presentation for tomorrow's meetings, I am such a professional.
Funny quotes from students:
"Do you murder psychopaths?"
"Mees, are you the real Hannah Montana?"
"Mees, do you have a boyfriend? I will be yours in Chile. I have twenty years old." He is 15.
My response "That's called the Oedipal complex, you should read Freud." I don't think he understood.
"Mees, do you go to the concert of Metallica? I very sad because I had study and not go. I eat banana."

  1. Hannah, I love your writings. I am in awe of what an adventuresome person you are. You are way braver than I ever thought of being! I am sure all the Chileans love you. Love, 'Aunt' Louise
