SAYING GOOD BYE
On
Friday, Dec. 6th , our English student teacher, Mr. Jenkins, left
our school since the university semester was over. He left us since he wanted
to become a librarian. For that he had to gain some experience in a real high
school and he chose our school. So, to gain some experience he observed some
high school classes. He did that for the first whole semester of 2013. He got
to help the teachers by letting the students fill out quizzes and supervising
them.
He
also told a lot about his high school times and also his middle school. He used
to go to a school that was even smaller than the St. Ignatius schools. He had
trouble with bullying in high school but as he got into college he had a blast.
He went to Cornell and then to the University of Montana.
He
told us all about what kind of classes he went to and what he got to study, his
favorite part was the anime club though, since he could hang out with all of
his friends there. I think Mr. Jenkins really liked it at our school since he
was so surprised that there was pretty much no bullying going on, everyone kind
of knows each other, and it is a small town. A lot of kids liked Jenkins
because his style was so unique. He was fun to be around and also had a
hilarious laugh, which everybody enjoyed hearing every now and then.
But
he is done now and is probably continuing to study at the university. Mr.
Jenkins was overall a very interesting character and he will be missed at
school.
