Fragmented Images


I’m towards the back of my 9th grade classroom. I glance outside and see the lush outline of green trees and flourishing palm trees. My students sit in their nicely pressed uniforms as they meticulously copy my notes from the board. I take another peek outside towards the peaceful picturesque scenery and then focus back to the class. A rooster randomly comes in, makes a tour around the classroom then silently leaves and goes on his way.

I stand still and try to look back outside and inside at the same time as if I was trying to capture the moment with its full natural rarity. “I’ll remember these unique enchanted fragmented images.” I think to myself. Moments like these are what I’ll carry back to America.

Appreciating the simple things of life in addition to the moments they transform into are what makes my experience here all the more vivid and real.
