We started the day early to go to a local school. The school only has six teachers and five grade, from grade one to five. The most memorable thing happened in the morning when we were asked to teach classes in the school. I was assigned to a class at the last minute and I was the only teacher teaching the class, while my fellow classmates had four to five students in a group. This was my first time teaching and I definitely came out of my comfort zone. I taught them simple dialogues in English and they are clearly eager to learn. After the class the students in the school went back to their normal classes while we did many activities. At the end of the day, when it is time for the students to walk home, one of the four students in my class smiled at me when I saw her and I waved back to say goodbye, the warm feeling is what I wouldn’t easily forget.
