'Obama be thy name' ;)

I must admit I'm very pleased with the results of the US elections :) I can't explain why but from the moment I saw Barack Obama, I knew he would win. Perhaps this is his facial expression- honest and trustworthy. It is important to say that Obama is facing a great challenge right now. The whole nation is observing him and his actions. The people will surely remeber about given promises and Obama should prove his idea of 'change'. Thus, I would say that Obama is half-way to fulfill his success. The first half was winning the elections. The second would be not disappointing his supporters. Anyway, I do believe. I do believe that 'he can' and I keep my fingers crossed. ;)

Learning to teach :)

I came to KJO with a clearly specified aim- becoming an English teacher. To be honest, I am not quite sure when this idea originated. I assume it was more or less in high school that I became certain that this is what I wanna do.

During my teaching practice I didn't change my mind. Yet, I realized that being a teacher, a good teacher, involves plenty of preparation to the lessons. Many issues should be carefully considered, you never know how your students may react. Besides, you can NEVER plan a lesson and conduct it in exactly the same way as you would like it to look. :)

I am almost sure that I would like to teach in primary school. Such children seem the most honest in their attitude and the teacher can shape their perception of learning a language. Therefore, I really enjoyed my TP in primary school. Each class I taught was exceptional. In each class I found something worth remembering. I remember asking one class, shortly after the elections in the US, about the results. And the WHOLE class screamed: 'Taki murzyn został prezydentem!!!" :D

Take care and enjoy your TP,

Better late than never ;) My childhood memories... Childhood is a very special period in our life, I think most of us will agree with me :) Everyone adores coming back to those days and browse old, sometimes yellowing photographs. That's what I did, too. In my photo album I found plenty of photos I'm very fond of and it was hard for me to choose these I would like to share with you the most ;)

Since this task was connected with Christmas memories, I'll start with this photo. I'm 6 in it and it was taken in my kindergarten. I remember that Santa Claus arrived and gave all kids some sweets. We were wearing various costumes on that day and when Santa asked me what was mine costume, I proudly replied: 'I'm a LADY!' :D
(And, yes, I was blonde. Yes, I was wearing pink :D )



Another photo I like a lot was taken in my grandmother's garden. I enjoyed staying there a lot as I was sort of 'active baby' that had to be on the move all the time. There, I had plenty of space, fresh air and animals, which I still adore today. ( cute geese in this photo :P)



The next photo is one of the 'silly ones' :D As every little girl, I loved my Barbies. I perfectly remember the day that this photo was taken. I was following my brother all day and complaining: 'Oh, pleeeease... I want a photo with my Barbies!'. When he finally agreed, I was soooo excited :P (as my facial expression indicates :D)



As most of you know, I'm a cat lover ;) I loved those cute and tricky little creatures since I was a little plump and blonde girl :D This photo is one of my beloved ones. It evokes sentimental feelings concerning past days... :)




Finally, the last photo I'd like to share with you - little destroyer caught red-handed :D I remember I used to adore tampering with things that I found in the house. This was my mom's box with cutlery. I could spend hours on rearranging them etc :P As you can see, I was really concentrated on my job :)


Hope you had some fun :)
Ciao,
Dżastina :)
