Reason #4 Pierre and Gabriel - Passing along the passion

Two of my advanced students, Pierre and Gabriel, stopped by my class and started to talk to me, in French, about the class I was teaching. The class was surprised to hear them speaking to me in French, out of the blue.  After I told him that he told the class:   "Take French III! It is awesome."  One of my French II students asked if he was in French III. He replied "No. I am in French V!  I have been in French since the first day of high school.  This is my home.  This is my family.  This is where I belong."  The kids then asked him to talk to me in French 
and both he and Gabriel immediately started talking with me about the 1946 version of Beauty and the Beast"  that we finished earlier that day.  We talked for a few minutes and then they were off.

Their enthusiasm lit my my class as they were passing along their passion.   

This is why I love teaching!  This is why I teach!  My kids are awesome!
