Sept 28th - FLEX


I don't have an accompanying picture for this cause I don't have any pictures of Sheki or kids taking tests. Yesterday we got up at 7 and rushed down to the Zaqatala bus station for a trip to the city of Sheki. The occasion? FLEX EXAMS. FLEX is a program that allows students in 9, 10, and 11th grade to travel to the States to attend a local high school. While there they stay with a host family and learn about American culture. The test is devided into three rounds. Yesterday our students took the first two, and in five weeks we'll learn who will move on to the third! FLEX day is an incredibly stressful and emotional day, but also one of my favorites. Whether or not the kids pass they still have an amazing time getting out of school for a day, hanging out with friends, showing off their English, and traveling to a different region.
