Today is the first day back for the students and it was great to see them all. They were all happy to be back and you could tell they were wound up to see their friends which they don't normally get to see outside of school.
I wore black pants today. I say this because I didn't wear black pants at all last semester. I forgot to send any down so all I wore to school was brown pants, tan pants, and khaki pants. I did, however send two pair of black shoes, but couldn't wear them because I didn't have black pants. I made sure to bring some black pants back this time and all the students noticed. The sixth graders seemed to notice the most. They were all talking about it when I came in. After school, I walked by one of them and she called me Mr. Black. They crack me up.
About Me

- I have created this blog to share the stories of my trip to Haiti as a missionary at Sonlight Ministries as I will be teaching Algebra, Geometry, Adv. Math as well as 6th grade math. Sonlight Ministries was started by Roger and Norma Alexander in 1985 after their second year in Haiti. Before moving to Haiti I have visited four times on one week trips to volunteer with anything that was needed. This mainly consisted of construction work as groups from my church, WRCC, have helped build a new multipurpose building for Sonlight which will be called SonCenter. Construction isn’t the only type of work. Some like to spend time in the classrooms interacting with the students as teachers aides or sitting in the hall with a student one-on-one to help with grammar, math, etc. Groups have also helped with numerous tasks such as painting inside houses, outside houses, and rooftops. If you enjoy helping others and would ever consider visiting please let me know; it is a life changing experience.
