Why I decided to become a teacher...
In the past summers, I have worked at the Green Shack Drop-In Program. This past summer, 5 children that had recently immigrated from Rwanda showed up at my Park. Since they had only been in Canada for three months so far, they could barely speak English. Through games we were able to communicate with each other. One afternoon we decided we should play basketball. To my surprise they had no idea what basketball was, I couldn't believe it! So my co-worker and I taught them the basic skills and then explained the game of Basketball. Everyday after that afternoon on the court they were out there practicing with each other. It was amazing to see them dribbling down the court like a pro by the end of the summer.
