Top ten reasons you know you are a teacher in
Classes actually start a week or so after the government posted start day
Colleague gave one class and one exam for the entire trimester
Students expect you to hit them if they get an answer wrong or misbehave
Students have never drank any liquid cooler than room temperature
Students have never been on a second story building
Students don't believe in sky scrapers
Students think that all white people are born intelligent
Students have never seen power lines and it is not because they are underground

I am glad your packages arrived safely and you and your group enjoy its contents. I now you are relly experinceing a lfechanging event over there in Africa. Keep up the good work and will talk on the phone to you later Dad
Hey my friend
It seems your eyes are troubled
Care to share your time with me
Would you say youre feeling low and so
A good idea would be to get it off your mind
See, you and me
Have a better time than most can dream
Have it better than the best
So can pull on through
Whatever tears at us
Whatever holds us down
And if nothing can be done
Well make the best of whats around
Turns out not where but who youre with
That really matters
And hurts not much when youre around
And if you hold on tight
To what you think is your thing
You may find youre missing all the rest
Well she run up into the light suprised
Her arms are open
Her minds eye is
Seeing things from a
Better side than most can dream
On a clearer road I feel
Oh you could say shes safe
Whatever tears at her
Whatever holds her down
And if nothing can be done
Shell make the best of whats around
