Today, was a veryyyy very fun day! Most people came, except Samantha ]: Even Wilson came haha but he left early. Oh man, we went for korean bbq, totos, & red mango. Everything we planned was successful (: Haha, couldnt have done it without the volunteers& the other teachers. Courtney& Carmen put together a photo album for the teachers. It was the cutest thing everrr<3 Pictures of almost all the students and stuff :D & on the back it had a quote "Some of us walked in as strangers, but in the end, we all walked out as a family." So true (:
406 IS the best class ever (: <3

Happy Birthday Phoebe!
Tomorrow is my little cousins birthday and we had a bbq party for her today. Shes turning 3! :D Oh man kids grow up soooo fast..i almost forgot it was her birthday :x My aunt called me yesterday telling me that she has a bbq and told me to go..in my head i was like huh whats the occasion, then shes like its for Phoebe's birthday. Oh man i cant believe i almost forgot. I didnt even get her a present, but my aunt said to me if i gave her one, she wouldnt accept it o.o
So ill just sneak her a present one day when i visit them again :D hahaa. And my other aunt was like,"we just want you to come, without a present cause we havent seen you in a long time." That made me feel so welcomed. Idk.
Phoebe has an older sister whose turning 6 in October, which makes her a 1st grader. When i went and visited them today, they reminded me of my students ]: They are sooo adorable! And there cousin just turned four not too long ago. Haha I wish i could spend more time with them. I forgot what else i was gonna say... so peaceeeee for now <3

Last day of sdc.
): Yesterday was the last day of sdc. I remember when some of us were counting down to this last day, but as it comes, alot of tears come along. Not only is it the last day, but its also the last year..atleast until renovation is over. Its the last year for Ms. Anna though ): I dont think it will be the same without her. I wish people was more like her. I've known her for sooo long, since i was in 2nd grade i think. She saw me grow up in church and its amazing how she remembers me cause I went to church on and off. She saw me as a teacher this year and she tells me how much i've grown up and opened up. I dont think i will forget this summer.
The whole sanctuary was crying yesterday. I dont think i have ever "sweated" my eyes out this much. As each child started leaving, more tears were coming. I dont even know how to explain this feeling. I hope when sdc re-opens, these kids come back. I will miss these kids, even though some were troublesome, but its okay, there just first graders. This year was the first year i taught a class. Last year was just volunteering. I learned alot this year and i feel myself growing more towards God. I had shared my first devotion this summer too. i had lots of memorable memories lol.
I met a whole bunch of new friends too. Some were friends that i knew before and got close with this summer. Hopefully we wont drift away as sdc ends. More people came to church from sdc. I think i started coming back to church when i became a volunteer last year.
I have never seen so many people cry all at once. Even those who i thought would never cry, cried.

Scared.
Im kinda scared. Why? Because I think that life for me is going waaay too fast. Im kinda scared about senior year, and all of that college stuff. I really wanna get into a good college and like stay with all my friends. But i just have this feeling that none of this is gonna happen. And this scares me. I wanna like be a kid again. Go back to kindergarten, have nap time, snacks and all that fun stuff. Being a first grade teacher reminds me of how life was stress free-ish. Even though you had rules to follow, it isnt as stressful as it is being a 16 year old. I wanna go back to being a kid.
Being a teacher at a church, I think im growing a much stronger relationship with God. I used to just go to church and not understand a word, and probably just went cause my grandma, aunts and cousins went. I felt like i was being dragged to church and didnt know why. Now that im older, I understand more and i feel like my relationship with God is growing. I used to be so different when im with church friends and when im with like regular school friends. I think i know better now. It feels different, but its that good feeling.
Oh man. i have to lead devotions on thurday and i have no idea what im gonna talk about.
