Got a job

Got a job on Thursday! Yesterday was my first day. It's an awesome job. I have my own desk, a brand new computer, a bus that takes me to work, and very.. very good pay! Not to mention they buy everyone lunch every day. And I have (sort of) a secretary. I'm going to call him a secretary just because it sounds cool, but what he really does is makes sure that I have all the materials to plan my classes for any given week, brings me to class, and sits in class in case any Vietnamese-English translating is needed. Oh, and not only am I an English teacher, but now I'm also a math teacher!! Poor kids...

  3. Max, That's great news about the job. As far as teaching math goes. Tell them the old Ben Franklin saying "Make a dollar -- spend a dollar and one : tragedy. Spend 99c ; happiness !! I am still unemployed any jobs for old men out there? Grandpop

  4. I cannot shake how cool it is to picture you there walking around living!!!! How many Americans do they see? What a great ambassador you are for all of us. Stay wide open, taking all of this in. I am so psyched for the students you have, too. Think how much they must want to learn!!!! I bet they memorize everything you do. Keep having fun and taking us along for the ride. And I am glad you went for the cool new bike. Hugs, Michelle

  9. Max! That sounds awesome. First job out of college and you already have people working for you... smart. I'm going to try to follow in your path with that.

    Love you and stay safe! This whole experience sounds amazing! I might need to come visit... maybe a huge cousin spring break to visit you? I'll start working on the logistics.
