I teach a bunch of characters in second year. There are nine of them. Five are Lahu Black, one is Lahu Yellow, two are Kachin, and one is Karen. They are really a goofy bunch in and out of the classroom. Most teachers have a difficult time getting their classes to quiet down, but not me. They are a quiet bunch in the classroom and sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get them to answer questions to which you know they know the answers. Even with the frustrating times that come, they are fun to teach! They have to be reminded every now and again of expectations, but other than that, they’re a great group.<\/div>\n

The goofy side of them<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Atiwat is our farm\/garden boss. He does a great job. He’s always ready for the next challenge. He loves God, music and football.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Wahrut is a quiet, but smart and funny individual. He likes to laugh and hang out with his peeps at Legacy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Surachai is our oldest student so he is more affectionately known as Ajan Surachai by the other students. He has to work hard, but really wants to learn. He loves to laugh, sing and have fun.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
This guy is a first\/ second year hybrid. This is his first year at Legacy, but his English was good enough to be moved up into the second year classes. He loves coffee, singing and talking on the phone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

SomPorn is always smiling (except in photos). He can brighten your day with his smile. He’s very curious and wants to learn English very much. He’s not afraid to ask you to explain something again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Peto marches to his own drum in a good way. He doesn’t crave to fit in. He’s very trendy as you can tell by his hair. He’s always ready to help and very appreciative after each class. He’s not shy at all, well in class is a different story. You can hear Peto from anywhere on the school grounds belting out a song. It always makes me smile.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Samuey is the jokester! He loves to make people laugh. He’s typically full of questions about everything including, “Do we have snacks?” “What happened Ajan?” and other questions about the Bible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
DaNi came my first at Legacy, but then had to leave. He then came back this past year. He likes to rival Samuey for being the class clown. He would rather find a good book to read or play on the computer rather than play soccer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Here’s our token girl for this class. She is very smart and like most girls at Legacy loves to talk on the phone, sing and go to jazzercise.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are the gentlemen and lady that keep me on my toes in my Reading 2, Writing 2 and Discussion 2\/3 classes. If they didn’t keep me on my toes, I might get bored. Haha! <\/div>\n
