I'm still sucking at blogging/I'm still very behind. I doubt any of you are shocked at this point. Life at RSO just continues to get busier and busier so blogging becomes less and less of a priority. Maybe one day I will find myself with a copious amount of free time and will just blog away until my little fingers fall off....maybe, just maybe....
The surprise, though, is not that I am behind in blogging but that my job here at RSO has changed again. This is one thing I love about Rising Star, they use you in whatever way they can and in whatever capacity (if that sounded sarcastic I didn't mean it to be, I honestly love that I will have had a bunch of jobs by the time I leave here). When I first signed up to move here for the year I was planning on being sponsorship director, then once they heard I was graduating in elementary education they asked me to come and work as a teacher trainer (teaching english classes and working with the teachers to develop more effective teaching methods), THEN about a week before I left to come to India I got a call and was asked to be the summer education coordinator (working with the summer volunteer sessions in the school) and NOW I am....drumroll please.....interim Director of Education/Principal of the school.....I'm not joking. Thankfully this is a temporary job until the real DoE/Principal can get her visa, but I am happy, willing and ready to do it for the meantime. Today was my first day on the job and it was not near as bad as I thought it would be. It was actually a really great day! I love being able to interact with the kids and teachers and working with the staff to make the school run as best as possible. I know it is a little far-fetched to have a fresh-out-of-college, 23 year-old helping to run a school, but there is a saying they use a lot here at RSO--it goes to the effect that people are placed at RSO at the right time to fill the jobs as needed. Granted, it would be much better if CELINA was here to do the job, but I have faith I can definitely hold it down for the time being. :)
More catching up to come later......not sure when.....but sometime....
Vanakkam From Kenady ma'am (this is what the kids have to call me now)
That is awesome Kenna! Um I don't know if you know this, but you are a born leader! Seriously, people want to follow you. So more power to you! You're amazing! Miss ya!.. Amber
