The other day I received the privilege of going to Grand Junction high school and helping out in the English as a Second Language class.First off, the teacher I met was an amazing woman who I feel so blessed to have met! I figured I would just sit in the background and watch to see how she operated her class but as soon as kids showed up for homework help she put me right to work. I got to interact with the students we talked about soccer at one point which was fun because it allowed us to relate to each other. Then I met a girl who needed help with her math homework she happened to be from Ethiopia! As all of you probably know a few years back I got to travel to Ethiopia for eight days. I know I enjoyed being able to connect with her through my passion and love for Africa but I could tell she lit up when I said a few words I remembered like"ameseginalehu" which is "thank you" and discussing injera which is Ethiopian spongy bread! It was so much fun and I was asked to come back as often as I can and I definitely plan on doing that!
