My Venezuelan Teens in 2012

She is shy
she smiles
he's not
he approaches 
They look at each other and blush.

Two days pass
he called her yesterday
today they will meet
their hearts pound loudly.

Two months pass
she called him
he hangs up angry
she will have his baby
"I am only sixteen!"

Two years pass
still in high school
the baby is at home with grandma
she hates boys
he hates girls
Both ask: Teacher, how do you say "aborto" in English?

  1. First, how students are perceived and categorized:
    •&νβσπ;Lazy
    •&νβσπ;Rebellious
    •&νβσπ;Moody
    When we conquer a student’s heart is when we can get out the best out of them…….
    and as a result there will be a lifelong learning and our students will be:

    ü Eager to learn
    ü Motivated
    ü Committed
    ü Responsible
    ü Joyful
    The type of student we want in our class is the one we create.
    It doesn`t sound much as a poem, but is what I see in classes. Please comment on it be hard if you need to.
