School School and a Bottle of Rum

I'm just kidding about the bottle of rum part... I watched Pirates of the Caribbean last night and just can't get the theme song out of my head. Although a bottle of rum might seriously help me through this SEVERE case of senioritis. I gotta stop slacking...like that physics test I skipped yesterday...don't worry, we get a drop grade!

Anyhow, yesterday I found out where I was getting placed for my teaching internship in the Fall. FULTON! I'm so excited cause that is EXACTLY where I wanted to be. Shhh....it's technically a secret and I'm technically not supposed to know....so you can't tell anyone. Just so you know a little more about Fulton, it's in inner city Knoxville. The school is made up of about 1000 students that are very culturally mixed. Many of these students haven't had all that much growing up, including that little bit of love many of us got from our parents. I know this internship is gonna be a challenge for me....considering where I went to high school. BUT I CAN'T WAIT! Just from observing this school for few months, I already know this is where I'm supposed to be. Many of these students have this mindset that they can't do it. And let me tell ya, that really pisses ticks me off, because I know they totally can!  (My mom says that saying piss isn't very lady like.) In order to gain respect from these students, you really have to build a relationship with them. I know I can do it, but at the same time we grew up under so many different circumstances. How will I relate? I guess I won't, but I will be there to listen. NO MATTER WHAT.

Please please pray for me and these students over the summer. Pray that God will be glorified through this experience and that these students will succeed through school. Most of all pray for God to work in their hearts.
