Worst Blogger EVER

Ok I must be the worst blogger EVER!!! I almost forgot I had started a blog! Things here in Wichita have been very busy since school has started again. As you know from my last blog almost 3 months ago (pitiful), I finally got my own classes when the new semester started. They gave me 20 students that had all failed the first semester of World History and U.S. History 1. I have 12 students in the U.S. History class and they are all passing at this point....................thank you Jesus. I only have 8 students in the World History class and 6 of them are passing........yes! I still have 17 students in my Seminar class, I've only lost one since school has started.

Moving to Wichita has been a life changing experience for me. I was heart broken at first to leave my boys, but as time has moved on, I realize that they really are ok. I still make it back to Pittsburg every other weekend. Well except for this weekend, I skipped because they are both coming here this coming week. Tyler and I are going to watch Tyler Perry in Madea's Big Happy Family on Thursday night. Then Tyrell and his girlfriend are coming on Friday so that he can bowl in a tournament here on Saturday. The last time I was in Pittsburg Tyrell bowled a 675 series game. He is sooooo good at it! Dawn, Alan, and Josh are coming on Saturday so that we can go to the zoo on Sunday. That should be a LOT of fun!!! My little apartment will be full but it will be so nice to have them all here! I have spent more time by myself in the last few months then I ever have.

I have made some friends at school and they are awesome at inviting me to go when they all meet somewhere after school. They are a fun bunch of people and even though I don't drink, I enjoy watching them do it, lol. The kids at school have changed my life! I have kids from 8 different countries and I love learning about their cultures! It is a whole different environment then I have ever been exposed to, there are over 1800 students in our school. We have gang issues which has heartbreaking outcomes at times. I'm afraid I am very ignorant when it comes to the gang stuff. I can't tell a gang whistle from a bird call and the so called gang graffiti looks like the same thing we did in school except we wrote our names in bubble letters and they use old English, lol. Although, I know that some of my kids are in a gang, I have never had any issues in my classes. All I can do is make sure there are no conflicts in my class and that all of the students feel like it's a safe place to learn. Somehow all 35 of my students have found a special place in my heart.

Well hopefully I will have some good pictures to post soon. I can't wait to have some company and watch little Josh at the zoo! This next week is going to be a great week! I will also hopefully start being better at blogging, lol. That is if anyone is still checking this blog! :)
