I just got back form my weekly trip to the lunches at RHS. As strange as it sounds for a 28 year old guy to say… I really enjoy spending time with the students.
There was an initial round of “popularity” as the novelty of my being there was so fresh. But in the last year or so I’ve just started to become a staple for the students Thursday lunch. I’m not quite as interesting as the Bosco sticks… But I am something that is different for them.
It has been incredible to have the school staff be so welcoming to me. Moving to the community last summer I was terrified that I wouldn’t be allowed to do anything on campus because of seperation of church and state fears. I have never encountered that here. To the contrary, as long as I stay within the boundaries of what the principal and I talked about, everyone seems extremely happy that I care enough to invest in their students.
Today’s lunch topics:
A lunch: Clothes, future wedding plans, childhood embarrassing moments.
B lunch: Babies, odd family members
C lunch: German class, Light Force road trips, Ireland trip
On the Ireland front. I sent out a massive e-mail today to all the parents. Basically this was done to get the ball rolling and to give them information. I announced it to the whole group last night and I always like to head off rumors at the pass.
