We have begun our teaching at Santisuk English School. My dad has his own classes, and my mom and I share a class. Every morning from Monday to Thursday we wake up at 5:30am and leave at 6:30am to get to our class which starts at 7:00am and goes till 9:00am. The hardest part about teaching is getting up so early! My dad has two classes, one from 7-9am and another from 10-12am. In me and my moms class we have 5 students, and my dad has 6 students in each of his classes. I really enjoy our class, all of our students are so friendly and they like to call me their little sister! The ages of our class range from 19-47 and they are all girls. Their names are Pong, Tid, Muay, and Wan. These are just their nicknames because their real names are way too hard to pronounce! One of our students named Yok had to quit the class because she came down with H1N1 and is in the hospital. Please pray for her! While my dad has his second class I do my schoolwork. Often our students like to show us around and take us different places, markets especially. We also like to play games with them: Phase 10, Dominos, Thai Monopoly, etc. I am trying to learn some Thai also in my lessons. Tid says she would like to be my Thai teacher and she tries to teach me some things in Thai.
