This is the youth center in
Criuleni, UNIT. Last year, I volunteered there for a semester teaching English
to an adult class and leading an English club for youth. Both groups were
small, but I had a lot of fun working with them. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able
to fulfill my responsibilities at my school and lead these classes the next
year. And since my primary project is with my school, I had to stop
volunteering at the UNIT.
I really missed working there
this year. I was able to teach in my style with my techniques. I used games,
texts, dialogues, group work, pair work, etc. Basically, I could teacher
however I wanted. I was able to do a lot the thing I missed and wasn’t always
able to do with my partners in school.
Today, when I was in Chișinău, I
ran into one of my adult students, Rodica. She introduced herself to the person
accompanying me, and told her how I was her English teacher and how much she
loved having me. I could hardly believe what I was hearing; it was so
incredible hear. Sometimes I’m upset that I didn’t do enough or a good job, but
hearing these compliments from someone I had only worked with for a short while
was uplifting.
