In working with ESL students we have to find as much as we can about them. Because of the language barrier, that won’t be easy task. In favor to do so, we have to come up with something interesting and easy to access. Everybody have some hobbies or something that makes them happy to work. People like to do a lot of different things, as reading the books, painting, writing a journey or poems, being in sport, photography, cooking, etc.
I have an interest in activities that give me space for presenting creativity. I like changes, something that I can experiment with colors and styles, something different. I enjoy decorating, which I do a lot.
What is your hobby or something that you find interesting doing it?
I love to take pictures and share them with my family members, friends, students, and co-workers. When I take pictures it as if I am capturing a moment in time that can never be taken again; only until you look at the snapshot then and only then do you get to keep your moment. Wow, it's almost like you stopped the clock and grabbed a piece of it! I think the reason that I enjoy photography is my zest for life and how much I respect precious moments. I have been taking pictures for a long time and I love to see the expressions on people's faces when I show them an old photograph. They take a trip back down memory lane and it's priceless to see their smiles and hear their laughter.
ReplyDeleteWe live near the Coosa River in Wetumpka, Alabama. When I say near, I mean there is only one street separating my house from the river. There is an outfitter within walking distance. I enjoy kayaking on that river. Sometimes I go alone and sometimes with family or friends. The scenery changes and I discover something new on each trip. The beauty of this place gives me some kind of renewal or freshness to my daily life each time I venture out on the water. I guess I enjoy spending time on this river because it helps me put my worries in proper perspective.
ReplyDeleteI like gardening, but my efforts often fall short. I get too busy to water my plants in the heat of the summer and then they die. One day I will have a beautiful yard! I do not have a full time hobby. I spend most of my free time with my family. We do all types of activities. However, I do enjoy going out with my best friend every once in a while just to be me, and not a mom. I love to dance! I wish I could say that cleaning is my hobby so that my house would always be clean.

ReplyDeleteMusic is not only the subject I teach at school, but my greatest hobby and source of happiness. I love to sing in my choir at church and love playing piano at home. I also love to read and just enjoy peaceful time at home.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy using my hands to create different things. So, I guess my hobbies are arts, crafts, and construction. My grandmother had a florist that she left to me. This has provided me the opportunity to be creative and try new things. I amaze myself by taking on a project and watching it transform from nothing to something. I design flower arrangements and gift baskets. I also got into renovating and construction. I bought an old historical home in Oakleigh Garden Historical District. It looked terrible when I first got it, but after a vision and a lot of hard work I was able to bring it back to life.
ReplyDeleteS. Lopper,
ReplyDeleteI see you are enjoying taking the pictures. I like taking the pictures of other people, but I don’t like when somebody is taking picture of me. I’m never satisfied with my picture. I will try to change that, because you are right, it is nice to go back and look trough all of them, which brings you memories. I have to remember that isn’t important how I look, the moment is important. Thank you.
L. Mattox,
ReplyDeleteThat’s sound so relaxing. I wish I have time for something like that. The only place, where I like to go and relax is the park in Mobile. I can’t remember last time I was somewhere near to the river. I used to do that, almost every week, while I was living in my country. It was beautiful. Thank you for reminding me.
J. Danielle,
ReplyDeleteThat’s interesting with gardening. Most people find that relaxing.
I hear that a lot, about going out once a week and just being yourself and sound great. I’ll put that in my schedule, too after I complete school. Right now, that is going just to be nice idea. Thanks
T. Mank,
ReplyDeleteI knew it that you will say it that music is your hobby, because your picture with piano in background is telling everything. Music should be present in everybody’s life all the time. That’s something to keep us relaxing. Thanks
J. Juzang,
ReplyDeleteThat’s great that you have an opportunity to create. I believe that historical house look nice. You are really into creation work. I like being creative, too. On my other job, when we have all kinds of event, I would always come up with something new. I enjoy making the displays and playing with colors. Thanks

It is very interesting to see how others decide to relax. I think whatever we decide to do to help us relax we need to do a lot of it so that our hearts and minds are rested and happy!
ReplyDeleteS. Lopper,
ReplyDeleteYou probably were thinking; before we go to our relaxing activity we have to finish everything else, school, home, work. By leaving everything organized we can better enjoy in our fun activities. We should practice to do something for ourselves everyday, not just once in while.
Thanks
