Oh how I love my job

This semester I was given all new classes and all new students. I am teaching all juniors which I was really nervous about at first because I have had some discipline issues with the juniors I already teach. However, I now teach the upper level juniors and it is a completely different world. They are excited about learning, are into the activities in class, and they actually take notes.

But besides them paying attention, I have had a lot of fun getting to know them the last few weeks. I have been able to help them with English work outside of class and many students stay after class to talk and practice their English. My students really bring joy to my day and really remind me why I am here teaching. Even my more difficult classes have really started to talk to me more. I also, have almost memorized 14 classes English names. That is a lot of names that I have floating around in my head, I can recognize and call them by name in class but I have to work on recognizing them outside of class.
