Students

Something that I've realized during my time here in Korea is that your attitude and enjoyment of something (in this case, work) is really dependent on how flexible you are willing to be. Sometimes, my students are mellow, lazy, and surprisingly quiet. Except first grade, they are never quiet. However, sometimes my students are hyper, loud, and can not focus very well. My 6th grade (my favorite grade), was like that today. So, instead of forcing them to sit through forty minute of mundane book work, I decided to stop after twenty minute and completely change my plans. This isn't very uncommon, but today was a bit different. In the end, the students had a blast simply playing an intense game of team-spell, and I enjoyed it as much as they did. So maybe enjoying something isn't about things going to plan, maybe it's about how well you do once it doesn't go to plan. Ya? Just a thought.
