Tonight was my first night teaching English. I can not even explain to you how much fun I had! I used to think it was math that made me this excited, but now it is confirmed that I really just like being the center of attention.... I mean, I like teaching! There is something about being able to come up with fun examples on the spot to help students understand a concept that lights me up inside.
After class tonight I hung around for a while and ended up talking to three ladies. We chatted about life and cooking (don't laugh at me!). The were fighting over who was the better cook and who I should learn from. They are now determined to help me be successful in cooking Jordanian food. I've never been excited about cooking before, but this sounds fun.
Anyway, I am pretty sure that I am currently on Cloud 9 and I thought that I would let you in on it.

Once of my inspirations went around the room asking what we taught. The answers were: French, Spanish, Elementary Spanish, etc. Then he told us we were all wrong! We taught people- a paradigm shift that is key in my thinking about teaching. Sounds like yours, too!
Love ya! And, remember, there are people back here that are counting on your success as a Jordanian chef!!
