School Begins! 開學

I taught 10 classes in 2 days. It was the most worthwhile and rewarding experience of my life. Each class was an adventure. Sometimes the students didn't listen, other times they were extremely polite. The younger students are so cute and so fun. The older students are sometimes loud, but they are still kind. No matter what age the students are, when I see them outside of class, they say "Hi Natasha!" Although our classes weren't perfect, me and my co-teachers prepared well and we got to know the students in our classes. At lunch time, I eat with many of the teachers and talk, I have even learned a bit of Taiwanese! On the first day I didn't have my own bowl for lunch, so the school gave me one. My desk in the office is really nice, and right next to one of my co-teachers. Most surprising is that all of the students at school in Taiwan clean the school, and everything is spotless because of all cleaning they do! The students and teachers make me feel so welcome at the school. I already know this is where I want to be, my heart feels full. 
在兩天內我教了十節課。在我的生活中，這是最值得和有益的經歷。每一節課是一個冒險。有的時候學生不聽話，有的時候學生超有禮貌。最年輕的學生們都很可愛和很好玩。最大年輕學生們有的時候吵，但他們還開朗。不管學生多大，在教室外面看到他們的時候，他們都說“Hi， Natasha！”雖然我們 的課不完美，我和合作老師準備好了，都認識我們的學生。午飯的時候我跟其他的老師們講話，我學了一點點台語！因為第一天我沒有自己的碗，所以學校 給我一碗。在辦公室裡我的桌子很好，在我合作老師的旁邊。讓我最驚訝的是在台灣每一個學生都需要打掃學校，每一個房間非常乾淨！學生們和老師們都很 歡迎我。我已經知道這個地方是我所屬的地方，我的心很充滿了。
