I've been assigned to the same special Ed class for the next week. I got 3 papers that I need to complete at least 2 by next week. Work and school has definitely been keeping me busy which is why many peeps haven’t heard from me, and I have to say I wouldn’t have it any other way. Y'see in being busy like this it definitely keeps me focused on what needs to be done and to shove other minor things aside. It may seem like I neglect my family and "friends" but in doing so it helps me shift my thought to more positive things and not on the negative aspects of my life.
So far the class is ok there’s only 3 students in the class and all 3 have extreme personalities. Alex, who's the smartest of the kids, hates to think, so he tries to get the teachers to give him the answers. Joshua is a tubby little guy that likes to talk and walk about instead of doing his work. And Mike is the most laziest kid I ever seen! He spends most of his time sleeping in class not doing a thing, and he's an 8th grader! I wonder if he cares about graduating. Thanks to the head teacher for informing me of how to deal with the students that I can be better prepared in handling them individually.
The stories she has told, made me want to reconsider doing this gig. Since the grades vary from 6th to 8th she lets me know automatically that its all boys (because girls in Behavior disorder classes are harder to get through im told.) and their hormones are raging. Anyway a male teacher was needed for the time being for the kids to relate and take charge when things get too uncomfortable for the female teacher to discuss with the students. We'll see how this plays out.
Its funny how she knew I was young and asked my age. When I told her she let me know out of many young teachers I was the most mature and grounded she's ever seen so far. I took that as a compliment. Hell, I still feel I have more in common with the kids than I do with the fellow teachers. I can't call it. I'm still playing videogames, listening to rappers and doing silly shit like they do sometimes. A long time ago I stopped focusing on becoming old worrying about it constantly watching my hair fall out and just living. Am I busy right now? hellz yeah, but best believe me when I say that im having fun in my own little special way doing it.
