al rescate amigos to the rescue my friends
im doin some volunteer work at my mums school at the mo, just a day a week.. but its actually more fun than i imagined, the teaching assitant was like "u teach maths with such passion"!
at the mo, im workin with foreign kids who dont know much english. i remember my first day i was working with this polish kid, he was very quiet, he just wouldnt talk, i thort maybe he lacks confidence, so i thought id talk about something familiar to him- so i asked him to describe his family, his parents, what they do at christmas time etc... then i went home bcoz i was just workin half a day that day. then later that day in the evening my mum was like, "u kno that polish child you were workin with, i don't know what it was but he just cried all lunch time. i kno his parents hav been going thru a divorce for som weeks now, but i wonder what triggered him off all of a sudden.." ...woops
but it's also quite fun, and at times challenging liek yestrday i was working with this girl on english comprehension and the word "mud" came up and she didnt know what mud was, i tried explaining it's the dirt that flowers, plants and grass grow out of, etc but she still seemed unclear so i drew a plant pot and an arrow (i happend to draw a curved arrow) pointing into it at the mud so she's liek "oh u mean like jumping"! lol ther quite funny sometimes like when i asked if she knew what a rock was and she replied "u mean like music?" ..awww bless their little cotton socks

obama
im not much into politics, but even even i felt quite happy about barrack obama winning presidency, perhaps itll help the US gain bak som of the respect it once had. i rember seein something about his campagn abt a year/year and half ago and remeber thinkin tht a black man would neva b president, esp if he's got a kenyan (hence muslim) background, but wudnt it be awesome if he did, and now, mashallah, perhaps there's hope for the americans yet.
