on second thought...

-maybe i only think things are so great here cause i know that its only for a limited time. i mean i know i'm goin home in a few months. would i still be this happy if this was for the next couple of years or indefinite? probably not, i think if that was the case all my old issues would come rushing back.

-i knew i never wanted to be a teacher! i have been grading papers cause long story short as part of a IFESH project, we are working on improving the exam grades of 10th graders at this one rural school. so we are focusing on exam prep and gave them last year exam so we can analyze their answers and see where the problem areas are. but i have been grading this one exam forever. i think it took me a whole hour to grade like 4 papers. smh. never. never wanna be a teacher. i dunno how yall do it.

-so our first round of interviews for the business leadership (BLYP) program was yesterday. five kids. they were great. i mean i don't know what i expected but i could imagine working with all of them. funniest stuff is we rated their applications when we were tryin to choose who to interview and the ones we rated the lowest were the ones we liked the best. this one boy, we decided to include him in the interviews last minute because he had a low rating but he was our top choice after the interviews. guess interviewing is key.

*drum roll for the best interview questions (the catch was that they all had to give unique answers and couldn't repeat was the others said):

-if you could ask us one question about the program, what would it be?

-what would you do if you missed one of the workshops for the program or couldn't complete one of the assignments?
