Okay--So our blog topic for this week was to share where we would rather teach...San Pedro Town or San Ignacio, and considering I only spent 4 days in San Ignacio and couldn't wait to get back to San Pedro, I'm going to go ahead and rule out San Ignacio. Now according to my other blog you might think this is so because of my beach bum attitude...and you are slightly right, BUT I would have to say that one of the main reasons I would not want to live and teach in San Ignacio is because of the rise in crime there over the past few years. I also mentioned how I did not feel comfortable there and did not receive the "welcome" that we received in San Pedro.
Yesterday Susan and I went to a few schools to get the Public Library Storytelling Contest news out to a few principals, and one of the schools we stopped at was the Roman Catholic school. Now talk about structure. After visiting the school grounds and an actual classroom I was like WHOA I could definitely teach here. When Susan and I entered the room the classroom of young students all stood up and welcomed us with a polite "Good Morning" and then when cued all sat down and resumed their work. It was so different from the high school!
So in conclusion, if I had to choose between San Ignacio and San Pedro, without a doubt I would stay in San Pedro...but lets me honest with ourselves! North Carolina here I come. HAHA! Mama don't you worry...I'm DEFINITELY coming home :)
Yesterday's classes went much better than Monday's and hopefully today's will be productive as well! We just finished distributing the school supplies to the department heads and they were very thankful! Makes us smile to know we make others happy!
Today is Viktor's birthday and the poor boy really wants a steak so we are going to dinner tonight to celebrate! There is a cold front on the island so the temperature is only 100 instead of 110! AWESOME! I'm sad our last weekend is approaching but we have a few fun things planned that I cannot wait for!
