Breakin'

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO:


Wow.. I had no idea that teaching could be so rewarding. It's definitely one of the better additions to my life. I guess I should explain since I haven't blogged for awhile :)

I recently got a job as a marching/flute/drum major instructor over at Ross Middle School. At first I was nervous because, quite honestly, in all the four years of marching band I was never really much of a leader. I was "Parade Drum Major," but in a band where field was the primary focus.. I was like Queen of England of the band.. Just a figure head with a title :P Not saying field wasn't fun though because it was tons of fun, but I didn't really have much experience in this area of expertise.
Anyways, the first week was a little rough, but this last week was great. These kids are starting to grown on me. They're so enthusiastic about what they're doing. And the best part is that at this age, they're not snobby teenagers.. they actually listen to you :P
It's just really nice to see some innocence in the world and how many different kinds of people and personalities can exist in one group. Really refreshing for me to see that there's hope for our youth's future. I'm afraid I'm getting attached to these kids and it's going to suck when they go off to high school. I'm really enjoying working there though :)

In other news, I should start packing for the 19th. I'm excited to move in and start school again. I have a feeling this year is going to be filled with some great new memories and I can't wait to start a new chapter in my life.

I've made quite a few important choices this first half of the year and I'm glad I'm where I am right now despite the consequences. You can't learn much if you don't fall flat on your face once in a while in your lifetime. How else will you learn what's good for you and what's not? There are no regrets no matter how hurt I felt. I apologize to those I've hurt, but I hope they've learned from those experiences as much as I have.

By the way, I think everyone should get ooVoo. It's super fun :)

ASIAN. OUT.
