My last class (Intermediate English II)

This was a class full of feelings. I was happy because I was going to finish the first session of teaching practicum, but I was thinking that I was going to miss those students. 

That day, I arrived early to the class, and I started to talk to some students that were there.  I gave them some advice, and I confessed how happy I was because they were learning a lot.  I tried to encourage them to continue doing their best because I could see an enormous potential on them. 

I felt happy because of them, for I saw that they had a good level of English and a positive attitude toward the language. I think that the education they are receiving nowadays is better than the one I received when I was in that level, and that fact becomes a wonderful advantage for these coming professionals.

Well, I have to stop talking about my feelings.

The class…

That last class was an unforgettable experience for me. Students worked beautifully and they were enjoying the class as I did. We were talking about reported speech and students were competing between each other. They always like to demonstrate that boys are superior to girls or girls are superior to boys. I think that it is normal because they are teens. Then, I explained them some important details of reported speech and that helped them to understand everything. After that, I developed oral and written exercises and all students did the practice in the correct way.

 

I finished the class sharing some thoughts that could help them in their lives. All of them looked interested in my words ,and they told me how glad they felt. I was about to cry, but I just said “thanks.” They were clapping, and I decided to say “bye” and to go out to swallow my feelings.

THANKS GOD!
