-: What I love personally most
is just having an impact on my students.
Making a difference in their lives,
being a role model for them.
Being a source of safety and encouragement for them
but also being someone that holds them accountable.
Because that's also showing care,
when you hold people accountable.
So, building relationships with students,
gaining their trust and also,
them gaining my trust is, it's all about you know,
human relationships and then of course,
of course being able to share something with them
that they've never probably encountered before
or that, or to take them farther than where they are
in the language and in culture and understanding
other people.
So I would say the biggest challenge is just
keeping track of where everyone is.
Because every class is different,
it has its own personality,
it has its own abilities and weaknesses
and interests and so it's kind of like a person.
Like you can't just rubberstamp every grade
even though it's the same grade.
You've gotta move with the students
and so sometimes I may cover,
I may be able to go farther with one class
than I am with another.
And so it's just keeping notes,
keeping track of that and all of the,
all of the handouts and you know,
the different grade levels and just staying organized
so I can you know, be efficient
and do what we need to do.
