Autobiography

I only have one more week of teaching. I am prematurely nostalgic and doing things like taking pictures of my students as they walk in the classroom. This past week in conversation we did a unit on autobiography. They had to write my biography (or what they guessed to be my biography) as well as their own autobiographies. This may sound like a personal excercise in narcissim but, hey, I keep a blog.

Some excerpts from my biography.

"Her father is a General who was the leader of American Army that fought in Iraq. His name is Osama Sheppard." very close.

"She was teacher in Payap University, Thailand. Many students love her because she is kind. When she come back to her country her students were cried and do not want to say goodbye. In Newyork, she broken heart so many time but, now she found true love with engineer."

"She was a police, it seems like she born to be a police. She got a medal of bracy from the president of U.S. because she was fight with the robber and she lost her arm. When she retire from her job. She lived in Hawaii with John and no movement forever."

If I could only be so lucky. And keep my arm.

My students autobiographies were much more than I could have hoped for from a Friday afternoon quiz.

"I have a boyfriend since I study high school. We have a dream to have a happy life together."
