I like when I meet someone, spend a few minutes watching them and can tell that they are the type of person I will instantly become friends with. I met Amanda in September at a Social Studies program implementation meeting in Kuujjuaq. She is a part of the curriculum development team and has been working on a new Social Studies program and some evaluation materials for the English program. I quickly liked her style of teaching, her ease at leading a group discussion and her awareness and responsiveness to people's thoughts and concerns. She is sensitive, intelligent and a team player. I like those qualities and wish she could work at our school because I think she'd be an incredible teacher but also a tonne of fun to hang with outside of work too! She was a very gracious host to me a few times when I have travelled through Kuujjuaq since September and I hope she's around for longer than the two year plan she has. :) Or at least considers starting another two year term again in the future!?
Theme Song for today: The Time (Dirty Bit) by Black Eyed Peas (She recommended this song on my weekend visit, great one for the gym!)
