I thought of jotting this down yesterday after a really good experience with my first class... the way they were engaged in the midst of the lesson was unbelievable... and when I left them to work on their own for the second period, there was near complete silence... and by the end of the lesson, almost all of them had handed up their assignment.

Really different from the same class the previous year round... both of which bears the first letter of my name. Haha. I had fun... and I was heartened.

They're the class with full submission of the previous assignment. As I looked through the class lists, another class stood out in contrast, with only about half of them having submitted the previous assignment.

And that was the class I took this morning.

I was actually asking Pa for grace and joy, that He'll prepare me for the two classes today... and remembering telling Him that no matter what I'll just do my best.

I already had an inkling as they shuffled into the computer lab... and as they gathered in front of the projector screen, I popped the question.

I asked if they're the sports class.

A resounding yes was what I got... with quite a bulk from track and field and a handful from gym. Very cheeky boys who most probably did not find any meaning in what they were learning. They might had spent the entire lesson ridiculing the lesson or me for that matter... but yeah. I had fun too... a different kind of fun I guess.

But I know I'm definitely disheartened. Yeah... but not discouraged. I just thought that even as student atheletes they could and should very well put in their best in both.

And the way they projected themselves... they have the potential of pushing away even teachers who genuinely want to know them and work with them.

Three more lessons with them... as well as with the other classes. We'll see how it turns out.
