It started a bet bad by coming to the school late because of the traffic and I
lost the school location, but when I reached it, it was one of my best
moments, the school was spectacular, I entered the school with ms. Jean to
introduce me to the MST. Then we started the day teaching the children and
playing with them, in the break I went to spynnies and drank some coffee
and eat a sandwich, I went back to my beautiful call and continued watching
them and learning from the teacher, it was an amazing day watching the
children, the way they talk and participate with each other, I was so
surprised how the teacher is so organized with every detail, I learned a lot of
things from just the first day,
