Do you think I'm pretty?

So, my friend Angela and I have been having this discussion about how she thinks she wouldn't be considered 'beautiful' in America. She says that 'beautiful' in China is white, pale skin and large eyes. I know right? Angela is that...and she seems to think that American's like Asian girls to look particularly Asian. Oh, sweet friend! I told her she would be just fine because she ways all of 90 lbs and American's are obsessed with weight. All this to say...people all over the world are insecure and wonder if someone will think they beautiful.  Ok, deep thoughts are over. 
School today was a trip. I had my students present their vacation pamphlets. It was adorable. The second half of my class was spent discussing occupations. It was so awesome to hear students tell me they want to be reporters, designers, cooks, surgeons, lawyers, etc. We had a blast, and I have completely fallen in love with them! Before class I regularly stand in the hall and greet my students. It is the best feeling to watch students of other classes walk by and wave and smile! I LOVE IT!  I will then walk into my classroom and give a Seinfeld, "Hellooooo!"  This always gives them a laugh, and then I ask them how they are, they reply like the sweet little soldier ants they are, "I'm fine thank you!"  The best is when they feel comfortable enough to say..."I'm tired!" It has been a great week...although the weight of a portfolio is stifling my creativity!  Back to work! Love you all!
