This prompt made me think of a song I haven't heard in a long time. The Climb by Miley Cyrus (Let's not talk about my musical taste). This song makes me think a lot about life right now. I have 7 more days of work in Kuwait before I head home to Canada. I know …

A Time To Play
I read an article recently about a child playing in their fenced backyard. The neighbour saw them and called Child Protective Services (CPS) because the parent was not in sight. I read another about a 15 year old boy playing basketball in the driveway. He had returned home after school and his parents were at …

Girls, Beautiful Even When Blank
Tomorrow my boys are promoted from grade 1 into grade 2. They sing a song in Arabic and then recite a poem in English. After they get their promotion certificate and any honours they may have earned. In total 6 classes of grade 1 boys are being promoted, or roughly 150 students. So much chaos …

The Countless Hours Between
I began travelling in 2005 with a trip to Italy with my Grandma and cousin. Since then I have never really stopped except those brief moments when I go back to school. I left my home in Canada in March 2013 to jet-set off to Japan and begin my career as a teacher. Since then …

Dreams
All people dream. At night people go through stages of sleep including REM (Rapid Eye Movement). It is thought that this is the time when you process the days information into long term memories. While all people dream there are many people that don't remember their dreams. They wake up having forgotten all about it. …

From the Ground Up

I need a Pensive
I have a habit of losing things. I put them down for a minute and when I return to get them it's gone. I do this often in my work. I take my daily attendance and move into the lesson putting the attendance down near where I am at the time. Then I go to …

Mind, Body, Soul, and Earth
Today the prompt is healthy. I think that keeping yourself happy is a large part of being healthy. I try to keep myself healthy by striking a balance between my mind, body, soul, and the Earth. I teach, so I am constantly learning new things. Sometimes I learn how six year olds see the world. …

Underestimate
I have started to pack my unnecessary items into my suitcase for my travels back home this summer. What I have come to realize is that I have greatly underestimated the amount of useless stuff I seem to have. I brought with me teaching books I've never used or even glanced at. I have so …

To see or not to see…
I'm taking today's daily prompt literally: Vision I feel like mine isn't too bad, most of the time (Only -1). Most of the time I don't need to see far away though. I'm at the computer, on my phone, teaching my class, reading a book. It's only when I want to see the details of …
