Questions, Anyone?

A few weeks ago, we visited the girl volunteers at their school in the mountainous area of Puerto Rico, about an hour and a half from San Juan. I forgot about this story until now but I thought I'd share, thinking "better late than never."

Before each class period we sat in on, we introduced ourselves and said where we were from in the United States. I tried to keep it short and to the point, considering most of the kids were bouncing off the walls from the 50g of sugar they had just consumed during their morning snack break.

During the second grade classroom visit, I told them my name was Stephen, I was from Ohio, and that I was a volunteer in San Juan. "Any questions?" I said. After a silent, awkward pause a boy with jet black, spiked hair raised his hand. "I like animals," he said.

Failure on my part I guess. I don't think teaching is in my future, we'll let Ashley handle that.
