Today was my third personal training session at the gym I joined. It was my fifth day in a gym in the last three weeks. And I am so sore and tired and I just want to curl in a ball.
And it makes me think of our students who are learning English. For many it is not a second language, but a third one. For some this is the first time they have been exposed to the language in any meaningful way.
I marvel at their resilience. I’m overwhelmed by 5 days over a span of 16 days. These students of ours are pushed way harder all without complaint.
I need to never complain again, and then go and give every student in the building a high five and tell them how proud I am of their hard work and disciple.
