student teaching

I really thought about that yesterday in my wonderful Spanish 1 class (a shotout to all my freshmen friends at this point). We had a student teacher coming in twice a week, who was more or less teaching us. I really respected her job and honest effort to try, but I am missing respect to her as a teacher. It is just hard for me to see her as teacher. She is 20 years old, which means she cannot drink here, something I grew up with. I could drink with 14 and it was no deal for my family. I don't want to say that just respect someone if they're legally able to drink, but it just felt like I should see my little sister as my teacher.
And then she is teaching me Spanish. I am more than sure that her Spanish is way better than mine (a quick reminder I am in Spanish 1!) and she apparently lived in Costa Rica as well, so she has some experience so far as living in another culture. But still, I am pretty arrogant if it comes to languages. I know more languages than she does and have just a better understanding of language itself. I can even correct her in minor things. And she is just two years older!
I just wanted to point out, how hard it is for students to respect student teachers as teachers sometimes.

I found this whole story actually also kind of amusing. I just want to repeat in the end, that I really respected her job and that I wish her my best luck in the future.
