Today we went into the Guatemalan middle schools and taught English to 7th and 8th graders in Cam's class. As expected the kids are playful, lively, and gracious. A lot of them really do care about learning English which is exciting to see.Even though it has only been two days, our group has bonded a significant amount and I can tell we are going to keep making incredible memories. I have been humbled in this short time by the attitude of the Guatemalans. Most of them seem incredibly content and happy with their lifestyle. Coming from America where I am blessed with convenience and luxury, I assumed that the Guatemalans would also prefer this lifestyle, but I don´t think that is the case. There is definitely something to learn from their simple, hardworking, content way of living. Having that mindset really does change the next month for me. in terms of thinking, teaching and learning. So excited for what is to come!
