The stars will be laughing

“All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night. You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Update

I've been MIA from this blog due to multiple reasons. I started a new job as a Middle School/High School teacher at a bigger International School in Costa Rica, and things have been crazy busy!

Anyways, here is the latest scoop:

• My grade 7 students are learning how to debate in a trial. It's interesting how debating open new venues of learning. Students are supporting their arguments using quotes from the book. 
• I've been asked to be an Extended Essay supervisor by two of my students. It feels like my life is coming into full circle.
• I am going to Africa on December 26th for 3 weeks. I will be supporting the ministry in Senegal for abandoned Muslim women and girls.
