What I don't know

At every stage in my life, it seems to me, that I learn how much I don't know. When I went to Jr. High, I though I knew a lot, but I learned that there were still things I didn't know yet. Then I went to high school, of course by this time I was pretty smart (or at least I though so!), but then I met people who were smarter, better, and more talented. After high school I went to college, what could they teach me? Didn't I already know most things? I learned that there were subjects and conversations that I couldn't even comprehend (aka Mr. Axton's Philosophy of Religion class). After that, I graduated and went out into the real world, where of course I would share my "vast" knowledge with people who had a lot more knowledge and experience than myself. I realized again how little I knew. And then I joined Peace Corps, so I could share some of my knowledge and skills in another country. Oh, you would think I would learn!
I have learned moer in this last year that I have probably contribusted. I have learned from the kids to be hungry for knowledge. I have learned from the teachers to do your best with what you have, from the principal to take advantage of every situation, from Lousie determination, from Luthur that your situation does not determine your future, from the guys on the block to appreciate beauty, and from my neighbors how important relationship are and to take care of each other.
I look forward to what I will learn in this next year and hope I can keep an attitude of learning for the rest of my life.

Spring Break, Poems, and one year

I am so excited! Today is the last day of school for two weeks! What am I going to do you might ask? Well, being the planning I am, it's most already planned, but being in PC I know that I will have many surprises along the way. Luthur still has work most days, but he does have Good Friday off (yes, he's making me eat fish, but at least it's fried and in dough, plus he's rewarding me with cocoa tea!) and Easter Monday off. Overall it will be a good break!

This last term we did poems during computer club. Here are one of each type of poem we did:

Cinquain By Britney

Please

Help me
I am begging 
My shoe is  stuck
Britney

Haiku By Abigail

My brother is cute

He told me I am so rude
We are so happy

Limerick By Goddel

I wanted to buy a new shoe

So I could go to the zoo
I swim to shore
To go to the store
And the little black bird said coo-coo.

Acrostic By Shernia

Smiles with you

Interesting
Shares with you
Teaches me
Easy to hang with
Reveal your secret to

Autobiographical By Genesis

Genesis

fun loving carefull
brother of jay
who loves football games and jay
who feels good to feel safe
who needs love family and friends
who gives hope care love
who fears the dark, ghosts, and dogs
who'd like to see the zoo
who dreams of my father
a student of Ms, Kate Popo
Christmas

For computer club we had 82 students that participated and 55 that came on a regular basis!

One year from today is my COS (close of service) date. Time has flown by so fast this past year. I can only dream of what this next year has in store for me. There will be the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I will learn, teach, and change. This will be a great year!
