Hello, my name is Abigail and I need your help.

Myself and a few others are setting up a school on the island for the children to continue their education in different fields and help them grow as people.

However, I need some help. My degree is in English literature and language with a minor in art history but I need volunteers to teach other subjects.

I definitely need someone to teach Math, all the sciences, computer technology, music, art, geography, history etc.

It will!

Just saw your list. Good job! Maybe ask the future teachers what they will need as well so we can make some room.

And I had an idea. We are so many people with so many different stories here, I think it's a great opportunity to learn for kids and maybe even adults. It might also get them interested in things like history if there would be something like a storytelling afternoon. Maybe on Fridays, the last thing before the weekend. Every Friday one of the adult could come in and tell stories about the time and the world they lived in. Something with an educational spin but more personal and detailed. What do you think? That way the kids that grow up can have an understanding of everyone's background.

	That's such a great idea. The kids are going to grow up listening to people overcome odds and hear how good people still have to try hard, how nothing in life is a given but you aren't limited either. It's going to be so much fun, and they'll love hearing to the adventure stories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Damn, I'm starting to get jealous of the kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well there's no reason we can't sit in on the stories, just to make sure the kids are paying attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are right. Someone needs to make sure they do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Plus, one adult entertaining maybe 10 kids at once? Disaster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha, I wouldn't know about that. You are more experienced there though future tells me that will change eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have loads of kids in the future, right? Think of this as practise! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Tom/Abi notaskxawng 2014-04-19 01:43 am UTC (link)
	I will! I guess I need a lot of practise. When do you want to start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Tom/Abi abigailknightly 2014-04-19 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Soon as we can. I was thinking a pool party and the camping trip so all the kids can be involved, then we can sit them down together, do some introductions and stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds awesome! (Reply to this) (Parent)
