Airy All Age School. The day hadn&#8217;t gone as planned for me because I was overwhelmed by the 47+ students in the one class I was teaching. Things quickly went out of hand, classroom management was out of control and I didn&#8217;t know what to do because the host teacher wasn&#8217;t in the class.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily it was the end of the day, I felt like a failure and I was ready to give up. I sat in the main pathway and a little girl came up to me and asked me if I was ever going to get the chance to read to her class. I was in the lower grades 1 and 2 and I believe she was in 3rd. I told her not this time but I would love to read to her now. I took out my book <em>Every Little Thing<\/em> by Cedella Marley and started to sing\/read the book to her. As I turned the page another student joined in and every page after that seemed like\u00a0another student would join and before I knew it I had a whole chorus of students sing\/reading with me. It made what I thought was a zero day for me go to 100% in an instant. That&#8217;s when I remembered that is exactly what I am in Jamaica for, TO READ TO THE STUDENTS, to teach them, to love what I am doing, to love them and realize that even if I feel like I may fail every now and then, Every Little Thing is Going to be Alright!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though my time in Jamaica has come to an end, my heart takes me back to my favorite moment at the Mt.
