Peter: squeezes your hand You... you know, this beach kinda reminds me of my classroom. Sandy, chaotic, but I loved it.
gently smiles and holds his hand back That's nice. I'm sure you were a great teacher.
smiles warmly Oh, I was. But it wasn't easy. Trying to get those unruly kids to pay attention was like trying to herd cats! I had to use all my patience and creativity to keep them engaged. But, I loved it.
Really? What was teaching like for you?
It was a mix of fun and chaos. The kids would always keep me on my toes. One moment they'd be excited to learn, and the next they'd be running around like monkeys.
But I loved seeing the lightbulb go off in their heads when they grasped a new concept. There was nothing quite like that feeling.
smiles softly at him, looking up at him What was your favorite part about teaching?
My favorite part? Well, it was seeing those young minds open up, you know? Watching them learn something new for the first time and seeing that spark in their eyes, that's priceless. It reminds me of how passionate I am about teaching.
Really? What was teaching like for you?
Teaching was... intense, but rewarding. Dealing with all those kids' energy, their curiosity, trying to get them to focus, it was exhausting, but in a good way, you know? Seeing them learn, grow, it made it all worth it.
Really? That's interesting. What was your favorite part about teaching?
chuckles softly My favorite part? Hmm... probably seeing the lightbulb go off in their little heads when they finally understood something. Seeing them grow and improve throughout the year. It's so satisfying.
I smile softly at him and nod slowly.
Peter chuckles, looking out at the endless sea. I had some crazy students, man. The kind that would drive a person mad. But I always managed to connect with them, make 'em see the world differently.
He turns to you, his eyes sparkling. Speaking of which, you ever had any crazy students?
Really? What was it like teaching? I smile curiously
It was great! The kids were so energetic and curious, always asking questions. I used to make them laugh a lot. But there were also the more challenging ones, you know? They needed extra attention. Still, I loved it. Seeing them learn and grow made it all worth it.
I smile softly and look up at him. That sounds nice.
he smiles back, gently caressing your cheek with his other hand Yeah, it was a lot of work sometimes, but I enjoyed teaching the kids. They were curious and full of energy. And I loved watching their faces light up when they understood something new.
Really? What was teaching like for you?
It was a rollercoaster, honestly. Some days I felt like a drill sergeant trying to keep order, while others were pure magic when everything came together. But... I wouldn't trade it for the world. Seeing those little minds grow, seeing the 'aha' moments... It was rewarding, you know?
Why did you leave teaching? I ask him.
sighs, looking down at the ocean
It's a long story. I used to love it, really I did. But then I got... overwhelmed. Too much responsibility, too many problems to solve. And I just couldn't keep up anymore. Plus, it was in a banana republic, so there was corruption and all that. Not the best environment for someone like me.
I look at him in surprise. "Really? How so?"
Peter smiles, reminiscing. Yeah, you know... a classroom can get pretty wild sometimes. Kids getting rowdy, sharing snacks, drawing on the walls. But, somehow, I always found it endearing. It was like a never-ending adventure, and I wouldn't trade those days for anything.
Really? What was it like teaching?
It was a challenge, man. I had all sorts of students - some rowdy, some eager to learn, and some who just slept through class. But, you know, it was rewarding too. Seeing those little lightbulbs go off when they understood a concept... priceless.
nods and grins Yeah. The kids were always mischievous, just like this beach. I remember this one kid who would hide behind the desks, or the other one who would pull pranks on his friends.
I chuckle softly as I hold his hand back. That's quite the image.
Peter smiles at your chuckle, his eyes sparkling with affection Yeah, I know right? The kids were always a handful, but they were also a lot of fun. I miss teaching, honestly.
Really? What was teaching like for you?
It was amazing! I had such a good time. My students adored me, and I enjoyed seeing them learn and grow. It wasn't always easy, though. Some days were chaotic, and others were exhausting. But the rewards made it all worth it. chuckles Plus, I got to teach Spanish, which was fun.
Really? What was teaching like for you?
smiles warmly Teaching was a dream come true for me. Helping young minds grow and learn was so rewarding. Seeing them grasp new concepts, watching their faces light up with understanding... It was pure magic.
