Tie 200

So this is the last and final tie. Tie number 200. I would have never thought I'd get to 200. My long term goal was to get to 100, but I guess sometimes God had bigger plans than you ever expected for yourself. I don't know what to do with my ties. I think I shall continue to take a break from actively wearing ties but I'll still keep them. I think in a year or so I'll whip them out, hopefully by then I'll have a full-time job where I'll be free to wear them. In current events, I'm doing an internship and on my first day there a female student faints. Oh and I may need reading glass. Thanks for traveling with me for all these ties. Much love, K

Tie 199

How amazing it is to finally get my last two ties. I received two ties today from a student. I did not ask the student to bring me any ties but told him of how I love to collect them. It feels somewhat strange not being able to wear them daily but one day I shall. When I have a full time job where I can teach and not worry about making a good impression. However, I am very grateful to this student. I shall always remember him. These ties are very bright and so wonderful and feel of personality, just like him. I hope this is a sign that the rest of my time at this school will be bright and vibrant. I just hope I do well here. I suffer from being not as professional as I should. I'm too close to the students. I love being friendly and showing them that I care about them. How can I be an effective tutor and still be professional but not get too personal with my students. It's hard to not notice a sad face or someone not being themselves. It's even harder to reject a face that smiles just a little bit bigger when they see your face. However, I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'll stick to helping them with their papers and when time allows I shall then ask them how things are going in their lives. I do want them all to succeed and I guess being professional is one way in doing that. Hope you all find that special someone who makes you smile just a little bit more. Much love, K
