My First Visit

I've went twice to the school now. I really, really like it. The students are wonderful and welcomed me right into the classroom. I use to work near the school so I'm familiar with the neighborhood. I've never been inside the school though until the other day. The school seems very old. Paint is peeling from the ceilings and they don't seem like they have a lot of money. The school is dark and the hallways are cold. The classrooms are different though. There is lots of windows and it is warmer. There are lots of student art lining the walls and hanging from the ceilings. There are 6 rows of desks and every desk is full. Each student has a different background. They only meet for about 50 minutes then another period comes in. Each class is different. Some students seem really motivated to work, others don't care as much. I hope I can inspire some of the students. Their teacher seems to really inspire the students. He is very nice but tough. He told me he won't give the students an inch. I think that is good because his students are very well behaved. They get a little mad at him from time to time but they get over it quickly. Hard work and true comprehension seem to be valued. My teacher had to go somewhere second period and I went to an eighth grade class and this seems to be important here too. Overall, my first experience was great. I can't wait to go back!
