After entering the center they gave us a volunteer card, they divide us and let each one be with a different class. I am in the Academic English class with Ms. Rachel and the class includes 10 students from different nationalities and ages, but they all were males.
The first time I met the students during the music class, they welcomed me well and I noticed the happiness through their eyes when they saw me, in addition, they impressed me with their abilities to play music on different instruments. After the music class was over, we moved to the main class room that they study in regularly, and while walking to the class I was having a short conversation with Eid Al Shamsi (a student) weho welcomed me and show me the class way. Ms. Rachel ask me to be ready for a presentation under the topic of "Fun Run" that will be presented to me by the students. They present the topic and tell me the story of how they got this smart board by running 2 km for charity. I enjoyed the spirit and the happiness that I noticed when they were presenting to me, but as usual good times never last for long. My first day ended and I was waiting for Wednesday to meet them again.
Day 2:
As we've scheduled, we reached the Future Center @12:00 pm, but unfortunately we've only 1 hour to volunteer because the timetable there end @1:00 pm. As usual the students welcomed me well, but this time I interact more with them. Ms. Rachel asked me to help the students in writing an introduction paragraph about themselves. I have a lot of talk and conversation with the students and I feel that they broke the borders and start feeling free to talk to me. Ms. Rachel asked me if I will be able to teach Eid Al Shamsi Arabic language because he was facing difficulties in it. I accepted the idea and I was really happy to interact more with the students. By the end of the day, I stayed in the center until the students left and say goodbye to them. This class includes very clever students whom reached a high level of education and creativity, they know how to use computers, presenting and play different music instruments too!
As it's known that taking photos and videos is not allowed in the center without taking permission, I shoot this selfie before leaving ..
