Surprise!

The beginning of a school year always means loads of work! Gettin' things ready isn't as simple as one might think and if you don't invest from the very first day, you'll be heading for trouble!
I've got two new classes this year: 10th D and 10th E. They're very different from each other especially when it comes to the number of pupils in each one. On the former, there are 25!!! teens and on the latter I only have to deal with 8! That's the number that kind of represents infinity... So, in a way, this class is a never ending one!
Anyhow, these teens seem eager to learn and to participate on their learning process every step of the way, which is absolutely great when it comes to teaching! Motivation raises interest and interest leads to a strong and powerful will to learn, to absorb new things, to engage in challenges and thus, hopefully, to overcome the obstacles that always appear on the way to knowledge.
I wish my pupils all the best for this school year, not only as far as it concerns their school life, but also when it comes to their growing up as human beings! Sometimes, the only thing you need is to smooth a few edges and, SURPRISE, you've just grown up!
