After my first workshop, and before assisting my classes for the day, I went to lunch with some of the first year students that attended my workshop. We went to Delicias do Vovo, which is right across from the campus. I bought a torta de frango and fresh fruit juice for a total of four reais.
We sat crowded around the table and spoke a mix of English and Portuguese. I've assisted the English 1 class with these students on a few occasions; we've done a mix of them learning through English activities and me attempting the activities in Portuguese. I think we've all shown vulnerability together, and it shows that we're all learners together.
Last year I connected with the first year students, and this year I have again. Maybe it's a sign (Haha). I'm grateful for once again having students that laugh at my bad jokes and dance moves.
Bad picture quality, but great quality people.
