As teachers you stand upon the highest peak in education, for what teaching can compare in priceless value and in far-reaching effect with that which deals with man as he was in the eternity of yesterday, as he is in the mortality of today, and as he will be in the forever of tomorrow. Not only time but eternity is your field

Teaching

Life gets interesting when you are spending most of your time with third graders... Conversation that I had after stating that we would be getting a new student Tuesday:

S1: Miss Fiso, is it your daughter!?
Me: Ummm... No, I don't have a daughter and if I did she would not be old enough to join you for school!
S2: Miss Fiso do you have a baby?
S3: No, she's not married
S4: Why are you not married?
S3: She's only 22!
S5: My mom got married when she was 19.
S6: Don't worry Miss Fiso, my aunt isn't married and she is almost 40.
Me: I think we should move on to something other than my marital status... Let's maybe talk about why you all are calling out? ;)

Life these days... Crazy but good! I love my class and the people I work with, I could do without the double duty of teacher and student but I'm starting to get the hang of it!
