Although I have been teaching for awhile, I still have some students that are really interested in my life. My Sat. morning class is a good class of students who have tons of energy. They always want me to speak Chinese and they want to know a lot about me. This Sat. when I first walked into class, the first thing they asked me was they wanted to know my age.
I have had a lot of students guess and one student thought I was 31. This time they were teasing and saying I was 100 years old but some actually thought I was 37. I couldn't believe it lol I told them that whatever number they guess, I will write it down on the board until they guess my real age. Some thought I was 16 which was nice though but yeah it took awhile until they guessed 22. Then of course they said I was really old although since some students thought I was 37!
I told them I need to look and dress older since I'm young. I was the youngest teacher but now we have a new teacher who came this week and he is younger than me by 8 days surprisingly!

Lilly! I had the opposite of this situation over the past week.
ReplyDeleteSome flight attendant gave me extra cookies because she thought I was still under like 15 years old, and said "Children need to be smothered" and a barber asked when I was graduating from high school!
Society just needs to be better at telling ages!
That is funny!! At least they didn't think you were 30 yrs old haha But yes I agree, people need to be better about telling ages or maybe they shouldn't be guessing in the first place jk lol
