School

Just wanting to show everyone the school that I teach at. This picture is taken from the soccer field that I take the students to everyday. There is a little white strip by the telephone poles...that is a rice patty road. Our school is the three story building just off to the right. The light green looking grass is actually rice. We are surrounded by rice patties.
This was a beautiful day...probably about 80 degrees and a light breeze. I think we were playing football up on the field this day. At our school right now we have about 200 students between the grades of K-12. Most of them are Amerasains. Most classes are at about 17 students or so. I have one of each K-8th grade and then one highschool class. We have volleyball, basketball, and soccer. I coach the boys and girls basketball and then girls soccer. The picture on the right is from another angle and you should be able to see the very ripe rice ready to be harvested. The road you see in this picture is the road that I take up to the soccer field. It is about a half-mile one way so I get a lot of exercise during the day just walking. The next picture is of my students in my highschool class. This is Charles in the foreground. Shin is holding the cone in front of his face and Clara is the girl on the right. Just on the left you'll see two large poles, these are the lights for the tennis courts. Behind the students is the soccer field. The soccer field is all dirt. There is no grass, except for the archery field. They don't believe in walking on the grass anywhere in the country. Hope this gives you an idea of where I teach.












Peace out...Later on.

It's always nice to have a visual when imagining the place everyone works. Thanks for sharing!
