Last Wednesday, I had the first meeting with my new partner at TCU bookstore. Last week, we could not meet each other because he had something to take care of. I was so happy that I could meet him this time. At this moment, I was more confident than when I met my first partner because I had an idea about how everything was going. I also had asked Alex about Joez, my new partner, thus I had a good idea about my new partner as well.
It was a beautiful afternoon with cloudy sky, so we met outside the bookstore. With a nice weather, I felt that our meeting would be going well. I had not met Joez yet, so I just imagined in my mind about how he looked like, how he dressed and how he talked. However, it turned out to be completely different as I imagined. Joez was a big and tall guy about 5’8 height and 200 pounds, I guessed. He wore a Polo polo-shirt, with an Iphone in his hand and a D&G sun-glasses. Wow! Did he work at the physical plant? I wondered. It was totally unexpected from me about him.
We started our lessons about GED. He told Alex and me that the other partner helped him about Math and English. He thought that it was easy because he was good at Math and the first lessons of English were easy as well. So he did the exercises without any problem. By the way, his English is pretty good. Therefore, we decided that Alex and me would teach him about science and history (I did not know that there were actually many things in GED test, I thought there were just Math and English). We gave him some exercises of Biology and History to do at home and next meeting we would check them.
It was a good meeting for all of us, I hope that our next meeting would be ever better.

Hi Jimmy, I am glad you were able to hook up with Jose. He seems really excited and committed. Your first meeting went well, and I am glad that are able to work with Alex to help your new partner. Dan W.
It is so exciting that you finally got to meet with your new partner. Your comments about imagining how your partner would look reminded me of myself. I was nervous before I met my partner, and I did the same thing while I was waiting for her to arrive. Keep up the great work!
I'm glad you were able to meet your new partner and could jump right into his lesson plans. It seems that you were productive for the first meeting, and I hope other meetings go even better!
