Of course

This will be short (and I promise there will be more to come soon) but I just had to share. I think that this definitely falls into the category of best quotes from my time here in Vietnam thus far...

So tonight we began a new unit in one of my classes. This particular class is 9-12 year olds. We began to talk about hopes and dreams-I intro'ed the idea of a "dream job". I had the students get up and talk to each other about what their dream job is...while watching the kids interact...I was caught off guard when a student came up to me and turned the question on me! "Teacher Kait, what's your dream job?" To which I stumbled around a bit, for simple words that would convey what my dream job is...to which I finally came up with "Well, my dream job is to be someone who helps people." I looked anxiously at my student's face to gauge her reaction-did that make sense? Would that answer suffice?

My sweet little 9 year old student quickly nodded in acknowledgment. "Oh" she said. "Of course. You want to be a fairy."

To which I just had to smile and nod.

A fairy.

Of course.

:)

Grace and peace and the third way,
Kait
