Imagine All The People, Living Life In Peace
A fitting day to send out a message of peace. Even though I may not be an American I still pay tribute and honor those who lost their lives 8 years ago today and in the subsequent activites that have happened since. I was in Grade 12 when the events of 9/11 took place and I remember every feeling, every sound, every emotion that went through my mind that day. I remember being woken up by my mom and watching the news in my parents bedroom. I remember walking with my little brother to the end of the street, noticing the eerie silenc of the skies above...they were a crystal clear blue and the absence of plane trails hit me quite hard. It was a day that I don't think anyone can ever really forget.
I had an interesting day today, I substituted in a Grade 2 class which was SO different than working in a middle school...hahaha. Since I still don't have a full-time job I've been working at a few places on-call which is helpful. Anyways, the students were so little and funny and I forgot how random little kids can be sometimes. Here's the best conversation I had today with one of the boys:
Student: "How old are you?"
Me: "How old do you think I am?"
Student: "17"
Me: "That's close enough for me" (I'm actually 25)
Student: "Are you smart?"
Me: "Well I think so"
Student: "What's 90 plus 90?"
Me: "180"
Student: "WOAH! You ARE smart! Do you watch Family Channel?"
Me: "um...no, let's get back to work now..."
It was so random and so funny and they kept trying to stump me with questions like "what's a million plus a million?" and they seemed genuinely impressed when I answered....
Hope you all have a good weekend and a peaceful friday!
