Miss Nelly

Miss Nelly ya termine! Marcelo says to me every time he finishes his work. Ya voy Marcelo, I respond and walk over to where he sits to check his work. Being a teacher in Guatemala is not all that different than being a teacher in California and at the same time completely different! Kids are kids and my teaching style continues to work with them. But the school politics change drastically when you're used to a public Californian school and are now an employee in the privatized Guatemalan school system. I have really enjoyed these two months of teaching at Kayla and Elena's school and will certainly miss it! I've learned so much and am sad to say goodbye to the friends I've made. It has been one of the hardest things I've ever done, and one of the most enjoyable!
