First week lesson

This Sunday was the first day that I taught with the language bridges program and my first reaction for the past few days has been basically like this : OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST FEELING EVER. I never expected them to be so excited. I expected them to be excited I mean but they are so eager I can't believe it. I even feel a little selfish now for getting so bored in some classes. This has also been an incredible new experience for me, since first of all I never thought I would be teaching ever, but this feels great. I now understand what it is like when you have a class full of eager students and can imagine what it would be like to have a class of students who are not as eager to learn as well. So the first week was pretty amazing, but not only for the feeling of happiness I got for being able to teach such eager people but also for where this was taught. The place these people work is so far away and just from the surroundings you can tell that they must work so hard throughout the day it just struck me how tired they must be but also how they can be so eager at the same time, I mean this fact really struck me with awe. The classes themselves were also awesome as it is just so much fun the activities that we are doing with the students in the class, and I think this is because of how eager they are to learn. I must also thank my two co-teachers of the first class as Raji and Alisher were both amazing and very calm and relaxed as we took turns in teaching the class, but especially Raji who was always able to come up with a fun and interesting way to teach the workers something new and check later on if they had learned what we were trying to teach them, and even when I got a little nervous and couldn't think of something else to teach. Again I just want to thank my two team mates Raji and Alisher again, and until next time good bye for now.
