Hey, my name is Kenzie, and I have been working in Honduras now for about 2 months and each week I have been working in a little school in the town of San Marcos up in the mountains here in Honduras. I remember my first day at the school here this summer, it was much different from what I expected it to be, but defininetly a good way. I love the teachers and the administration at the school, and I want to dedicate this blog to them. I have learned alot this summer from watching the teachers at the school and how they interact with the kids, how they are able to discipline the kids as well as show them love and give them a safe and clean environment to be in all day. I really appreciate all of the teachers and the administrations patience with me, they are all so welcoming to let me come into there classrooms and help them teach, especially when I dont know a whole lot of Spanish and communicating can be a challenge sometimes. But even with that language barrier, I am still able to learn from these people and have fun with them. One day during lunch the teachers were dancing in the kitchen and they asked me to dance for them, and I tried to do a salsa dancing move for them, it was akward, but it made them laugh, so it was worth it. I also really appreciate Roxannas humor and how she seems to just laugh at me everytime i mess up with my spanish or make a mistake instead of getting upset. For example, the other day she told the interns that there was ham in the kitchen if we wanted any for breakfast, and the word for ham in spanish is jamon and I thought she said that there was jabon for us to eat in the kitchen, and jabon in spanish is soap. But those are just a few examples of the fun things that I have experienced wit hthe people who work in the school, I love working with them, and learning what I can about them. The people at the school are great! --Kenz
