Substitute Teacher!

Tuesday was a long day that's why this post is a little late.
My teacher was absent so we had a substitute teacher but it turned out that I had to step up some more and also be a substitute. Naturally, many of the students decided to act up because their was a different person in charge. He was great at teaching but I can tell that he struggled with classroom management. The kids seemed to walk all over him in the morning so when I noticed that, I decided to step in and give him a hand. It went pretty well I think, but I could tell that some of the kids saw a different side of me. I was not the "cool" "fun" teacher's assistant, I was now a "strict" teacher. It was very different for me to see how they would react to it. We did make it through the day in one piece so I was pretty happy about that.

When the day was over, we took a trip to Long Beach and walked on the boardwalk. The sunset was beautiful and the different restaurants and shops on the boardwalk seemed to complete the picture. There was a beautiful area called Rainbow Harbor and the lights all around the lighthouse, bridge, and boats lit up in rainbow colors. The people were just so nice and welcoming it made our night worth while.
