Semester At Sea

The young man pictured here is my student.  Thus far he has not had any detentions but he has been a bit slow doing his assignments.  His name is JJ, he is from Saskatchewan, Canada. I'm not sure how old he is but I'm sure he qualifies for a senior cup of coffee at Mc Donalds.  By the way, I am teaching him photography.  We are still working on how to review pictures taken.  For my troubles, JJ has rewarded me with honorary Canadian citizenship, in the form of a Canadian
lapel pin.  He also gave me a small tripod from Wal Mart.

I had always thought of myself as a student but now as a teacher I have a new perspective.  Don't stop learning and don't stop teaching.  We all have something of value to teach to someone else.  This is really heightened aboard ship with such a mixture of people from different places.

Not sure if he's going to make Dean's List though.
