Time Flies!

Hello!

After a second incredible week of teaching at Seet Kobor Secondary School my favourite moment would have to be the conversation Leah and I had at the end of the week with the school's guidance counsellor and Principal. They told us how valuable they thought the YESS program was because they thought the students felt much more comfortable asking questions to their peers than to their teachers or other staff members at the school. They were very interested in continuing the partnership founded between the school and YESS this week and we discussed many ideas for outreach activities that the students could participate in during our outreach week at the end of project. My favourite part of the conversation was the ending when the guidance counsellor told us that many of the students had come up to him throughout the week and personally told him how much they enjoyed the YESS program and how much they had learned and gained from the curriculum and the peer educators.

The students at Seet Kobor were great; some of the most enthusiastic and energetic I have seen! They asked the most thoughtful, intricate, and precise questions which shows how much they were analysing the curriculum, extrapolating from it and applying it to their own lives.

This past week went by so quickly - I couldn't believe it! Next week will mark the half-way point of project. I hope the second half will be just as great as the first!
