Today, I found something new in Sal class is we start class with silence. He came and said let's get started and he sit on corner of the class. Also, he did not say anything and whole class was looking at him to say something, because from 1st grade we learn that teacher always in front of the class and we listen them what they said. But for Sal class i was feel very awkward and thinking about he say something. Some classmates said "what's up" and start introduce them self but still there was silent, i feel very awkward that time. The one quote by Mother Teressa, “We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” This is very truth that nature like trees, flowers , grows in silence. But this is not awkward because this is true, when we are in class in Sal was sitting in the back of the room and whole class in silent that was very awkward. Everyone in the class basically just looked around and didn't know what to do. It was almost as if the other kids were talking all at once but nothing was being said. If you could hear what they were all thinking it would have been extremely loud and would drown out the silence. I had the same experience in India when i was in school and teacher came to class and did not say anything for whole class period, i thought this is very awkward when teacher didn't say anything first day of the school. Also, after few minutes he said take out the books and read from it. So, i thought why do we do that? That was very awkward that what can we do? It was the first day of the class. I thought that is the same thing happen in Sal class. So from this class we learn something new because from the beginning of the school we learn come to class on time, listen the teachers instruction, do homework on time in like that. Something that similar happened to me in the class like this silence.
Thank you.
