This past week I went
home for Thanksgiving. I was excited, because this was my first time being back
in Warren, TX since August. However, things were quite different. Everyone and everything
that surrounded me seemed quite different or had somewhat changed a bit. Since attending
school at Prairie View A &M and taking education courses, my thought
process has somewhat changed too. I try to look at situations from a teacher’s
perspective now. However, On Thanksgiving Day I spent majority of my time
sitting outside observing my younger sibling and cousins playing; engaging in
social interaction. When they were bored and had nothing else to do, I would
help assist them in finding a game that would be intriguing to them. The games
that I chose for the little ones to play had a slight learning twist. For
instance, we played a simple game with a balloon, in which we would hit the
balloon to each other. Every time the balloon would pass to another player, I had
the kids count aloud how many times the balloon was hit to another player. On
another occasion, I was talking to my sibling about school. He insisted on
talking about sports, but my focus was how he was doing academically. Since my
visit back home I feel more appreciative of the education that I am
receiving at the college I attend.
