I really miss teaching-- have since I started this deployment. But this visit really tipped me over the edge. It was crazy how comfortable I felt there! Kids are kids anywhere in the world, it seems.
Anyway, I was there to cover some medical Soldiers who were giving the kids a lesson in Optometry. You see, it was a medical high school, and all the coursework is designed to prepare the students for careers in medicine.
My battle buddy took this photo of me with a couple of the students (at their request.) Oh, the optometrists made me a nifty pair of glasses, called adaptive eyewear. New fashion trend?
I will continue to prepare myself to be a better teacher, and look for teaching jobs for when I get home.
I know how much you love being in an academic environment - I'm glad you had the opportunity to do so in your deployment. I hope you'll have other opportunities like this. Love ya!
