My impressions from teaching practice

When I went to Turkey to live there for a bit as an Erasmus student I had my first experience in teaching English to pupils in a primary school. Words cannot really convey how it all looked. Me and Weronika with whom I was teaching (yes, 2 teachers for about 30 kids squeezed in one classroom) experienced a situation when you feel like a celebrity. Two fair skinned, ginger and blonde hair girls, with green and blue eyes were welcomed enthusiastically by in fact, not only our students but a swarm of students from other classes who happened to see us standing in a school corridor. Children were extremely curious and happy to meet us. Their teacher let us conduct a lesson, which surprisingly ended on giving autographs(literally!), hugging, complimenting and asking countless number of personal questions. When it comes to conducting lessons each ended in a mayhem and the odds for holding a well-organised lesson were slight. Whatever method we tried to keep our Turkish students calm wasn't enough, for they were yearning for details concerning Poland and us. Despite the fact that our lessons weren't much of a success, I really loved those kids. I liked the child's curiousity and their huge grins from ear to ear every time we got to the school. I will not forget their undisguised misery after we told them we ended our teaching practice. Although, every time we got back home extremely tired after the day spent at school, I'm sure me and Weronika felt we lived something truly amazing, remarkable and edifying.

P.S. The photo above is not of our students, for they were older then the ones we had lessons with. Those were bunch of scary boys trying to throw something on us, I don't quite remember what was it now.. but I guess a frog or sth haha buu

Golda Meir

"Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!"
Starting with this quite amusing qoute I would like to introduce a person whom I want to describe- Golda Meir. I chose this female politician since she was an outstanding person among many Israeli politicians and regarded as one of the greatest female leaders in a history. What was so distinctive about her? Just as Margaret Thatcher in Britain so was Golda Meir described as the "Iron Lady". Her powerful and tough policy, as well as straightforward and highly effective rhetoric established her as a respected woman not only in Israel, but also in the world. Although born in Russia, raised in the US, she moved to Israel and she became its first female Prime Minister in 1969. She devoted her life to the development of the State of Israel. Her dedication to her country and a concern to its citizens made her memorable and loved by Israelis. She was an inspiration, as well as a prove that gender neither limits who you are nor what you can achieve.
In addition, I would like to add some of her quotes because I reckon they are really honest and true.

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do”.

“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be”.

“You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you do not trust enough”.

“Don't be so humble, you're not that great". : )

Little ladies

Probably the most charming picture of my sister and myself when I was a tiny little person back in the day.. : ) As you may guess (or not!) I'm the smaller one, though now I'm a bit taller than my sis, wearing a white-red skirt and a white shirt, looking so twee! ; )
Ok! Enough for the sharing! :) As required, I shall write about my childhood friend.. Her name is Kamila and she is my neighbour. We used to hang out a LOT together and always had loads of fun doing casual kids' stuff. We played together, laughed, cried, sang, argued, listened to music, were in luv with Johnny Depp and Coldplay, co-operated, were always together. Our friendship had ups and downs, however, it lasted quite long cuz till the high school. She used to be my best best friend and I luved her for her sense of humour (99% resemblence to mine), her loyalty and I knew i could always count on her. It was really something. Unfortunately, just as I started studying in Poznań she went to Bydgoszcz. We chose different paths and because we had rarely seen each other, our friendship ended. However, whenever I recollect those times I can frankly say we had some truly immense moments spent together which for sure I won't forget :)
Have a good, though crazy busy(cuz of the Monday's exam!) weekend my College friends! : )
