on my heart

Alma was the first to arrive, I sat at a front desk with my books spread out, doing a poor job hiding the fact I was overwhelmed. In her beautiful thick accent she welcomed me but was too shy to engage in much of a conversation. I told her I had never taught before and that it was my first time to Vickery Meadows, she said she was happy to have me and thought class was fun.

Today I stepped outside of myself and got to give whole heartily to this group of strangers.

For the next couple months I'll be teaching this fantastic group English. I'm blessed.
