So, I got another job. One of the families that go to my church took over the director positions at a christian school. At the moment it includes grades Pre-school to 8th, though they want to open up the highschool next year. Well they had wanted me to be the science teacher, chemistry and biology, and I had to say no becasue I ddidn´t have the time, but fortunately they found another teacher. Well on Monday their daughter informed me that they still needed a teacher, becasue the one they had, took another job to finish her Ph.D. in biology I believe. The idea is that this job is temporary and I´m teaching until they find a replacement. I´m not available to teach all of the hours but I will work about 3 hours every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:20 am to 10:00 am. At first I though why did I sign up for this but now I'm glad that I did. Though I will get paid about 4 us dollars an hour, I'm more excited about teaching there than I am at my current job and for many reasons.
1.) I get to practice my Spanish and increase my vocabulary, big time, becasue I will be using scientific words.
2.) It allows me to fill my excessive free-time on the weekends with something to do. This will include preparing my lesson plans for the following week and researching activities to do as well as studying how to say things in Spanish. I might possibly write out what I want to say, haha, or atleast have note cards just in case I get lose, becasue it will be difficult to improvise, especially in a different language.
3.) This will allow me to have a little bit more of extra money, not much but it's something.
4.) Most importantly it's a christian school, so I get to connect God to everything I teach and I get to use the bible in my classes. This has to be the greatest benefit, because it makes it unlike any other teaching environment. Also this is great for me, because it was the sciences that helped me to draw closer to God in some areas and to be in more of awe of his ability. So I'm praying that the Lord will use me to be a tool, so that through our classes the students can come to have a closer, deeper and more meanigful relationship with Christ.
I guess other big news is that my mom finally bought her plan ticket, so it is official that she will be here in a few weeks. Other than that things have been going great. I'm planning on trying Laura's fish recipe this weekend becasue it sounds so YUMMY!!!!!Oh yeah sorry about not posting pictures, I lost my battery charger to my camera which means I can't upload any of my photos but I hope to buy one soon, atleast by December. Then I will have tons of pictures to upload on Facebook and a few here on my blog.
