Well, thumbs up for teaching! I taught English in the 7th grade, French in the 6th (as I have got the top Certificates for both of them) and Ancient Greek in the 8th. Those kids had failed in those school exams and have to retake them in September. It was a few children in each class (around 5-10 in each). They were somehow agitated, but I did manage to get it all right! It was a truly rewarding experience. The lessons took place in the dining room of the camp, which was huge! The location was very beautiful, with tons of trees and many sport facilities. My sister taught Ancient Greek in the 9th 10th and 11th grade, and she did them outside the church located in the center of the camp.
It was only this time I ever been invited and taught the kids in this camp (whereas my sissy has been invited and done it several times before). I am truly happy to have been given such a chance. The kids there seemed to be so good-hearted, naughty but still remained innocent souls. There were also immigrant children, descended mostly from Albania and Egypt. Though the highest percentage of the kids were Greek, all those kids had some family issues to face: alcoholic parents, poor families, decease of one or both of the parents, bad divorces which led to a worse economical state and so on. There is a big truth: Some problems are universal. We all belong to mankind, after all. Sounds cliche, but this is an answer to some 'real-life' racist friends! Guh! :'(
Well, now I'm off to a meme by
tinyflowers who gave me the letter G:
Comment and I'll give you a letter for ten songs to list.( 10 songs...(hard to find, but anyway!) )Mosquitoes 'suck' (litteraly and figuratively). They do seem to have a ...preference for my right leg and I've been scratching it all the time. Period.
Tomorrow I'm going out again, with my friends, as it's Chrysa's birthday!! :D
Well, it seems that on August 8th I'm gonna set off for my village, so I'll be off LJ for, more or less, 2 weeks! (What? I won't be able to send my birthday wishes to Robert? THAT'S A PURE BUMMER! D:)
And, as a last note,
my Modern Greek exam results came out! I GOT AN A, SQUEE!!!! :DThat's all for now, hehe!! :D
