I taught Alex and Elijah the word benefit. It was such a great moment for all of us! To see the joy on their faces as they found different ways to use the word was truly amazing to see! I will never forget that moment. Of course that same day I had to break up a fight between Alex and Rasheed, as well as hold back Jay Sean back from attacking another student… I should also mention that he had a pair of scissors in his hands. It was a pretty intense moment for me, as I had to tackle him and hold him down to make sure he didn’t go anywhere or hurt anyone.

As soon as I arrived at school today my team and I were informed that a student was raped the day before by someone in a red van. That was a rather surreal thing to hear happened. I felt completely numb to it. I hardly reacted at all. Today overall was a rather dull day as my teacher was absent so my students were broken up into different classrooms, leaving not much for me to do. I am really excited to go see Martha Marcy May Marlene tomorrow… and then party Saturday night away for maxipads birthday!
