My last day at the school :(

We had three full days to observe and take part in a lot of activities before I leave to go back to the states. My experiences was unbelievable!! Going back to what Mr. Ryan said, "Being the lowest poverty school in Dublin, we have to really flexible and try different teaching strategies to reach to these kids." Mr. Ryan also said, "no matter where we are located, we have to make this environment warm, safe, and let them (students) know that we CARE!" Once he said that, I knew my present will make a significant different with the limited time here.

William and I tried our hardest to do as much as we can to make an impact by......playing "little sally walker" performing "magic tricks", participating in the Irish dancing, answering question from the wondering minds of the students, actually teaching a couple of lesson while we were there and hanging out in the teacher's lounge.

In those three full days, William and I build a type of repertoire with all the teachers, students and Mr. Ryan (principal) that will leave a good impression with them for this Study Abroad experiences. I believe we represented ISU!!!
