Today as I was uploading and labeling some student photos I got to wondering if I had taken pictures of my current students over the past 10 years without realizing it. I went back through my Peace Corps photos (2002-2004) as well as photos I took during my visits in 2006-2009 and found pictures of some tiny yet very familiar children who are now in some cases taller than me. The kids are still cute but some definitely have more attitude now then they did when they were in kindergarten.
