I cannot help but think that school in the Dominican Republic and and school in the United States are a little bit different. The kids are so wild here!! They are always screaming and running around - even in class! This is going to take some getting used to. However, there are some very beautiful moments that come out of this chaos. In my pre-k class there is a little boy who has cried every single day because he wants to be with his mommy. I really feel for the kid...and it kills me a little bit when I see him cry because I know what he is feeling. He might be separated from his mom for just a few hours and he hurts but I am separated from my loved ones back home as well. I know the pain he is feeling far too well. Today, he was standing (because he refused to take of his backpack or sit down) at the front of the class and was just crying. A little boy (the youngest in the class) who a little talk-a-holic named Daniel got up and held his hand and asked him to sit at his table. These kids are four years old! It was an absolutely adorable moment that I was so happy to have had the chance to see. The little bit continued to cry and did not accept Daniels offer to sit with him, but the moment was cute nonetheless. Too cute!
Also, if my mommy is reading this today I hope she knows just how much I love her and that I wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
