Day 38

February 26th

So I had my first English class today. I thought it went really well as were well organized and had a lot of fun with the students. I think they will enjoy coming to class and hopefully they will learn a lot from us. It's kind of weird being at the head of the class, knowing that all these kids are depending on you to teach them how to speak English, especially when English is so important to getting anywhere in the world. Its actually quite daunting, as the responsibility clearly lies on my shoulders to get them through. Their future depends on me. That's a tough concept to grasp. I sure hope I don't let these kids down.
The other interesting thing we heard, is that the students, or one actually that we know of, is not at all proud to live in Cairo. He cannot find one good thing about living in Egypt, even when we brought up all the culture and history. He just finds it suffocating and lacking. Which I can't blame him too much, I would not want to raise my kids here. I really appreciate what America has to offer me, and I am so blessed to be where I am in this world. I don't know why I got this blessing, but I had better not waste it.
