Kagan in a Tico School (from the wife)
Jun 3rd
I got a chance to go with my new friend, Candy, to a couple Tico schools yesterday. I had a blast! It honestly made me miss my students back home a little. I know that teaching is a passion I have and can’t imagine my life without it. To have the chance to jump right in and teach some English to the Tico kids was fantastic. I was on cloud 9. I even introduced them to some Kagan. The students LOVED it!
School is taught in 2 sessions. One group of kids attends from 7am-noon and then they rotate with kids that attend from 1pm-6pm. What a long day for the teacher! There is a concession stand in the courtyard that the kids can use during break time. The day we visited they were holding elections and there were a bunch of kids beating drums. To say it was loud is an understatement. 
We took a group picture and I signed a few autographs to wrap up the day. What an awesome experience! I can’t wait to go back!

I forgot how much I loved this song. Musically it’s the most boring song but lyrically it screams me.

This is my daughter Kyah. This is her favorite friend LaShawnda. Well to Kyah, she is La La. Lashawnda’s mom won a trip to the inauguration so La La is in DC. Lucky!
Kyah doesn’t know that LaShawnda is different. At least, different looking. All Kyah knows is that La La is supposed to pick her up from daycare and that they are to walk back to my wifes classroom. Today, I pray that the world looks past Mr. O’s color and supports his position. Obviously, you do not have to agree with him but at least respect him.
Racism is taught. It is the most unnatural act on earth. I was taught racial tendencies demographically, sexually, and religiously. If you study about every major war, you will find that each stemmed from racial barriers. Can those that have been taught to be racist change?
Kyah, I want to be more like you.
