I work in a doctors office. I work with older children.  I run 20 miles per week. I am training for a marathon. I have never run in a marathon.
I am a student. I take math and english.  I have one year left of school.  I am going to be a elementary teacher. I am looking for a job. I don't have a job now. I am an immigrant.  I have a brother. I run on weekends.
I just finished my longest run yet! Congratulations!! How long did you make it this time? I made 8 miles today. If I keep it up I'll have over 30 for the week!  I am exhausted but it feels good!  By the time of the marathon I should be ready! That's amazing, what a great stretch that was for you! It sounds like you are well on your way in your training.  You put my 3 mile runs to shame.  But hey, as long as we're both enjoying ourselves that's all that matters.  I'd love to come see you run.  I See me run?  No way! You come run with me.  That's a much better idea.  I'll have you up to speed in no time.  Hey, then maybe you can enter the race as well! I was more so thinking about making a large poster for you at the finish line, haha!! But I guess why not? I have a lot of extra time now that I am not working.  I know I should spend that time looking for a new job but I've been very busy with school lately and haven't found the time! How are your classes going?  Have you found out about what you will have to do after graduation to get certified and begin teaching? Math is going great but English is still a little bit of a struggle since I'm reading in a language that isn't my native one!  My last year I will be student teaching.  After that I have one more big test to take and will be able to start the interview process!  Sounds like I'll be working with older children, like you!   Just one more thing you and I will have in common!  Are you ready to start facing actual students?  I know from experience kids are not always happy and polite lol! That's what I'm worried about! I've only sat in the back of the class observing before and I remember first hand what a tough age that is! Not to mention for a student teacher.  I'm sure I will be asking you questions on how to handle things before you know it.  Are there any part-time opportunities for me at the doctor's office for me? For practice maybe, haha!? Not right now but you can come observe. Just sit in the waiting room and you'll learn a lot about kids and their parents.  So, what subject are you going to specialize in? Math? I hope, that is really my strongest subject and what I'm most passionate in.  My plan is to make it fun for them since sometimes kids think math is boring.  Well they're wrong!  How many more weeks did you say you had until the marathon?
