Question mark...

This morning I conducted a lesson in Gymnasium, nothing special, just board games around the world. a bit of vocab, a bit of listening: for gist and for specific info.

I have to mention that it was my first conducted lesson in Gymnasium ever and to be honest I was terrified because I'm prejudiced to this type of school.

I was expecting flying bins, at least three fights, visiting headmasters office, swearwords hitting my head, and many other terrible things. But the kids came in...

About 11 children in the age of fourteen took their seats, then stood up and greeted me. They were so nice, so silent, so cooperative, so active and amazing... It was stunning, I couldn't believe it, everything went so smooth that we had some time left and played "wisielec" and... their behaviour was great  even then!

And as much as I never wanted to be a teacher, after this experience I 'll reconsider it. Maybe that was a turning point of my life?

Influential?

It's difficult to say who was the one who influenced or fascinated me. I think that it might be a TV series character from "Gilmore Girls" which is the one I was getting mature with.

This series led me through my high-school and helped me with some of my dilemmas and cricises. One of the main characters - Rory is the most dilligent student in her school, she reads a lot, watches old movies and is the best friend of her own mother.

 The possitive energy of this series pulled me on the right way many times during my puberty, I could always look up to my ideal character and find a piece of advice in every episode.

Although it may seem boring for some ( I know it does:), it was a leader for me in my "teenage" times.
