I have been in El Rancho, New Zealand this past week working at New Whine. While here I have been the lead teacher of the 8 year old boys. This makes me feel right at home becasue prior to the world race I worked in daycare for 3 years. I only had 4 boys, Jeremy, James, Benjamen and Harley.
Jeremy: Really likes star wars and balloons. Gets upset kind of easy but can also be easily comforted. The hyper and loud one of the bunch but really smart. Speaks in very mature adult sentences. Very competitive
James: The leader of the group. Always first to give something up to someone else eevn if it means him having none. Very kind hearted and friendly. 
Benjamen: Knows more about planets and astronomy and science than I do. He draws the planets exactly how they are supposed to look and even in the order they should be in. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. He is very easygoing and I never have to tell him not to do something. I love having conversations with him because he is full of fun facts. 
Harley: Has touched me the most. He was born 100% def and did not get a hearing aid until almost the age of 4.He is really hard to understand b/c his verbal skills are not where they should be plus on top of that he has the strange New Zealand accent that already sometimes makes it hard to understand. He also lives with his Grandma (who is single raising 4 other grandchildren along with Harley). At first he was shy but He has really opened up and tries to engage in many converstaions with me. I sometimes feel bad because I cannont alwasy understand him but I try my hardest to make mysel flisten as close as I can. I also try to set a really good example when he is around becasue he watches and copies everything I do…worship…listening skills, song motions. Sometimse I really have to remind myself that anyone could be watching or looking up to me so I need to watch myself at all times.
