I haven't written much about my new occupation (I guess it has been a year already, but still feels new) - that is teaching. I never thought I could be a teacher but have loved working with and seeing my students improve in their English skills. I have never learned so much grammer in all my life! I wanted to write a quick blog to brag on my new class. They are all such hard workers and I am so proud of them. Today they handed in an essay about someone who is important to you. Just when you think all men are nasty, lazy and no good qat chewers you hear a different perspective.
"I'm writing about my husband. His name is Mohmmed. He is 42 years old. He works as Director of Disaster managment. He dresses in a uniform. He is a smart and great man. He helps me at home and he is also a great father. He is a busy man. He works a lot but he tries to stay with our sons as much as he possibly can. He loves reading very much. He reads the newspaper and magazines around noon and watches TV at midnight on weekends."
Isn't that beautiful? I did correct some of the grammer - hope you enjoy
Another student wrote about her parents who are both dead now. It was another wonderful but longer essay. Her Father taught her to be independent and to always take opportunities to continue in her studies.

Open Doors
I first realized my love for doors when I visited Zanzibar a few years ago. I have been so excited in my continued travels to find beautiful doors and windows. Here is a door that I thought was beautiful and the picture turned out quite well. It dates back to around 640. Pretty impressive stuff. Enjoy
