Student teaching 마지막날. Early Childhood Education inNY



아침에 버스를 타러 가서 학교에 도착했을때까지는
앞으로 교실에서 어떤일이 벌어질지는 상상도 하지못했다.

여느때와 다름없이
아침에 아이들 그림일기를 지도하는것으로 시작했는데,
담임선생님인 Mrs. Kelley가 갑자기 나에게 묻는다.
"Mrs. La, 잠깐만 교실밖으로 나가 계셔주시면 안될까요?"
얼떨결에 교실밖으로 나가 복도에서 서성거렸다.
무슨일인지는 몰랐지만
왠지 선생님과 아이들이 쑥덕쑥덕 하는 소리가 들리는게 무슨 회의를 하는것 같았다.
약 5분후 들어와도 된다는 신호가 왔다.
들어갔더니 그냥 평소와 다름없는 분위기로 calendar activity를 하고 있었다.

점심이 끝나고 돌아와 약 11시20분정도 되었을때
갑자기 Mrs.Kelley가 교실 불을 끄고
아이들에게 "얘들아, 오늘이 Mrs. La의 마지막날인데, 너희가 해주고 싶은 말들 한사람씩 돌아가면서 말해보자. 먼저 루벤부터."

평소에 그렇게 말안듣고 힘들게하던 루벤이 "I love you Mrs. La"라고 말하자마자
내 눈에서 눈물이 왈칵 쏟아지기 시작했다.
뒤를 이어 아이들이 전염이라도 된듯 루벤을 따라 "I love you Mrs. La"라고 합창하기 시작했고,
내가 우는걸 보던 Mrs.Quinn과 Mrs. Kelley도 같이 울면서 티슈로 눈물을 찍어내기 시작했다.
그렇게 써프라이즈 파티가 시작되었다.


갑자기 교실 한가운데에 선생님 의자를 가져다 놓더니
Mrs. Kelley가 나보고 가서 앉으라고 했다.
파란색 선물가방을 나에게 건네면서 풀어보라길래
가방속을 보았더니 뭔가가 가득했다.
아동동화책 3권과, 세인트패트릭스데이때 모두 함께 찍었던 사진을 크게 현상해서 넣었고,
아이들편지와, 선생님들의 편지가 따로 놓여있었다.
선생님들의 편지는
"Dear. Mrs. La
Thank you so much for all your hard work here in this classroom. You are very talented and will be a fantastic teacher! You are awesome!!!"

책3권 모두 첫페이지에 정성어린 손글씨들이 적혀있었다.

평소에 베이킹을 잘하시는 다른선생님 한분이 나를위해 컵케잌을 만들어오셨고
우리는 모두 컵케잌 파티를 시작했다.


파티시작하기전 점심시간에
여느때처럼 카페테리아에서 파는 음식을 사먹으러 갔더니
일하는 아주머니들께서 오늘이 내 마지막날인걸 아시고
자기들이 쏜다고 공짜로 음식을 가득 담아주셨다.
매주 점심시간때마다 학교 카페테리아에서 음식을 사서 맛있게 먹으니까
이분들이 나를 볼때마다 "You are the best customer here!" 라고 말씀하셨다.

사진이 너무 흔들렸지만 그래도.

한사람한사람 포옹을하고
교실밖으로 나오는 순간
다시 제정신으로 돌아오자마자 내 머리를 쥐어뜯으며 외쳤다.
"내 선물이 너무 미약한데 이를 어쩌지...어쩌지..."
결국 내친구에게 전화를 걸어서 이야기를 하다가 좋은 아이디어를 얻었다.
한국에서 예쁜 학용품을 종류별로 사서 학교로 편지와함께 소포로 보내야겠다고.

나를 너무도 깜짝놀래키고, 얼떨떨하게 했던 오늘 하루였는데
너무 피곤해서인지 글로 표현해내기가 쉽지않다.
오늘 세 선생님들이 내가 떠나는것에 대해 "A big loss" 라고 표현하는걸 듣고 어찌할바를 몰랐다.
적어도 1년만 더있어주면 좋겠다는 말이 너무 기뻤다.
내가 이렇게 사랑을 받아도 될 자격이 있을까 하고 자꾸 스스로에게 물을정도로
너무도 과분한 사랑을 받은것같다.

마지막 student-teaching 이브. Early Childhood Education inNY




매주 수요일 목요일아침은
꼭 머피의 법칙으로 시작하는것 같다.
맑다가 툭하면 비오고 눈오고 바람불고
그덕에 버스가 너무 일찍 오거나 너무 늦게 오거나 하는바람에 피해를 입는다.
그냥 보통 학교수업이 있는 날이 아니라
아이들을 가르치러 가는 날이기 때문에
내 신경은 아침6시부터 온통 곤두설수밖에 없다.
내 머리속에 그려놓은 동선대로 시간대로 잘 진행이 되어줘야 맘이 놓이는데
오늘 같은경우는 완전 아침부터 말그대로 pissed off 모드였다.
또 비님이 내려오시길래
서둘러 버스스탑을 향해 거의 경보하듯이 걸었는데도 불구하고
한블럭을 앞에두고 나를 태워가는 87번 버스가 평소보다 일찍 코너를 지나가는거다.
죽을똥살똥 뛰었다.
뛰었다.
숨이차게 뛰었다.
우산마저 걸리적거린다고 접어버리고 비맞으며 뛰었다.
.
.
.
놓쳤다.
아, 눈앞에서 놓쳐버렸다.
아....젠장.
매주 수요일은 강당에서 모든 학년 아이들 조회가 있는 날인데!!!!
이쯤되면 맘속에서 '아 오늘 재수 지지리 없겠다'라는 말이 서너번 튀어나온다.

그래도 생각보다
뒤의 버스가 너무 늦은 텀으로 오진않았다.
무사히 잘 도착해서 강당으로 바로 들어갔다.
사뿐히 미끄러지듯 들어가서 선생님들 틈에 앉았는데
우리반 아이들 중 Daryl과 Maya가 나를 살짝보고 익살스러운 표정으로 손을 흔든다.
에이 귀여운것들.
내일이면 마지막 날인데.
아쉬워서 어쩌나.

어느새
같이일하는 선생님들이 아이들에게 귀띔을 해놓아서
이번주가 나의 마지막주라는걸 알게되었다.
Special Education 선생님인 Mrs. Quinn이 점심시간에 같이 밥먹으며 말했다.
"Mrs.La, 아이들이 당신에게 너무 attached되어서 큰일이야!"
너무 감사한 말이었다.
ADHD가 있는 남자아이 한명은 평소에 너무 가르치기 힘들었는데
그 무뚝뚝한 아이가 오늘 나에게 말했다.
"Mrs. La, is that true that you are leaving tomorrow? I don't want you to leave, I want you to stay here forever."
짐짓 진지한 표정으로 몇번이고 저말을 하는데 가슴이 막 벅차올랐다.
아이들은 확실히 눈치가 빠르고 예민하다.
아마도 내가 늘 그곳에 있을거라고 생각했을지도 모른다.
평소에는 까불까불하던 아이들이 오늘따라 더 나한테 앵기고 순한양이 되어 지도하는대로 문제없이 잘 따라와주니
너무 이쁘고 즐거우면서도 괜히 맘이 짠했다.
내일 어떻게 마무리를 하게될까?
설마 울진 않겠지.

읽은 영어소설들. Books I read



2003년 처음 시카고에 도착했을때
내 영어는 정말 즈질이었다.
한국에서 주먹구구식으로 달달달 외웠던 단어는 알아도
문장 전체를 매끄럽게 해석하기가 쉽지않았고
밖에 나가 영어로 말을 한다는 것은  
지금 학교다니면서 수업중에 앞에나가 프리젠테이션을 할때 오는 떨림이라던가 
몇주전 상받던날 100여명이 넘는 사람들 앞에서 마이크에 대고 소감을 말할때 느꼈던 '정신혼미'만큼 아찔한, 겁나는것이었다.
시카고 다운타운의 대학교에서 랭귀지클래스를 듣기 시작하면서
비슷한 영어수준의 다른 나라에서 온 다양한 친구들과 사귀기 시작하고
Reading 시간에 읽어야했던 영어소설 Charlotte's Web을 계기로
스스로 책을 읽고싶다는 생각을 시작했던것 같다.

늘 머릿속에 '내가 제일 먼저 voluntarily 읽었던 영어소설' 하면 두가지 책이 떠오르는데
그게 "Anne of Green Gables' 시리즈와 "Little House on the Prairie" 시리즈이다.
하지만 생각해보니 그 보다도 좀더 전에 어느 신문의 추천소설란에 소개되었던 "Mississippi Bridge" 라는 책이 제일 먼저였다.

'미국에 있는동안 200권의 영어소설 읽기' 라는 다짐을 하고
책을 읽어왔지만
아직 200권 까지는 멀었다.
현재까지 내가 읽어온 100여권이 좀 넘는, 
공부방의 책꽂이에 있는 책 리스트들을 적어볼까한다.

현재 짬짬이 읽고있는 책은 The lovely bones / Alice Sebold
요거 완전 재밌고 슬프고 무섭다. 나중에 다읽고 시간나면 최근에 개봉한 영화를 볼 작정.

아래의 4책들은 열심히 내 눈앞에서 "읽어주세요~ 읽어주세요~"하고 알짱거리며 기다리는 책들.

The Host / Stephenie Meyer
Message in a Bottle / Nicholas Sparks
The Wedding / Nicholas Sparks
Rococo / Adriana Trigiani

내 책고르기의 패턴은
뉴욕타임즈에서 추천하는 책들중 하나 땡기는 것을 사서 읽기시작하고
그 작가의 글쓰는 스타일이라든가 스토리가 여운이 남고 너무 좋다싶으면
똑같은 작가의 다른책도 사서 읽고,
어쩌다 비행기타고 다른주로 놀러가거나 한국방문할때는
꼭 공항안의 서점에 들러 책표지나 뒤에 간단하게 써져있는 줄거리를 보고 땡기면 한두개씩 구입해서 비행기안에서 읽는다.
가끔 책벌레인 내친구 Caitlyn이 추천해주는 책 제목과 작가이름을 적어뒀다가 Amazon.com가서 독자들 리뷰를 보면서 볼것인지 말것인지 결정하기도 한다.
평소에 읽고싶은 책들을 노트에 적거나 랩탑 바탕화면에 메모장으로 적어둔다음
남편이 읽고싶은책 있으면 이야기 하라고 선물해주겠다고 하면
아싸라비야! 좋아라하며 한번에 3~4권정도 리스트를 주면
남편이 직접 아마존닷컴에서 오더해준다.
왜 내 손으로 오더를 안하냐고 누군가 묻는다면,
그렇게 남편이 사주면 큰선물을 받는 기쁨이 있기때문이라고 당당히 말할수있다. :)
초창기에 한두번은 오프라윈프리 북클럽에서 추천해주는 책을 읽었었다.
그렇게 해서 읽었던 책이 'Open House / Elizabeth Berg'

제인오스틴은 말할 필요도 없이 나의 life long favorite이고, 
Jennifer Weiner이라는 작가책은 글이 너무 무겁지않으면서 술술 넘어가는 경쾌한 스타일이어서 좋아했고
Jodi Picoult라는 작가의 책은 전체적으로 스토리라인이 무겁고 비극적이고 쓰는 단어나 용어들이 무척 "글쓰기 전에 공부를 많이하는 사람이구나' 라고 느껴지는데, 읽으면서 좋은 영어표현을 많이 배웠다.
Philippa Gregory의 책은 영국의 헨리8세때 시대배경에 황실에서의 볼레인자매들 이야기를 재미나게 써내려갔던 책들이 대부분이었는데 한때 쏙- 빠져 지냈었다.
Jude Deveraux의 책들은 예전에도 말했듯이 시공간을 넘나드는 특이한 스토리들이 대부분인데 한번 읽기시작하면 좌악좌악- 진도가 빨리나가서 좋다.
Twilight 시리즈는 처음에 40대후반 교수인 Dr. K 가 (완전 소녀같은 분) 너무 극찬하면서 추천을 하길래 읽기시작했는데 나도 푹 빠져서 몇주만에 4권을 다 해치웠던 기억이 있다. 뭐 지금은 다시 읽으래도 읽기싫지만. 그래도 이책이 가져다준 이야기거리는 정말 엄청났다. 내주위의 대부분의 과여자애들이 다 읽었었고, 에드워드가 좋냐 제이콥이 좋냐 막 이러면서 수다떨며 시간가는줄 몰랐었으니까. 

Anna Karenina / Leo Tolstoy
The name of the rose / Umberto Eco
The Historian / Elizabeth Kostova
이 세 책들은 정말 좋은 책들인데, 책두께가 장난아니게 두껍기 때문에 읽기전에 각오를 단디 하고 시작해야한다.

Nora Robert, Danielle Steel, Debbie Macomber책들은 좀 많이 유치하고 읽고나면 남는게 별로 없는데 이상하게 어쩌다가 한번씩은 읽게되던 책.

다시한번 시간내서 읽고싶은 책들이 대부분인데
그중에서도
Rebecca / Daphne Du Maurier,
Anna Karenina / Leo Tolstoy,
The Historian / Elizabeth Kostova,
Katherine / Anya Seton
At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon
One hundred years of solitude / Garcia Marquez
이 책들은 꼭 다시 읽겠다고 생각했던 책들이다.

초창기에 읽었던 책들은 다운타운 도서관에서 빌려다 읽었기 때문에
저 리스트에 들어가있지 않은 것도 있다.
기억이 나면 추가해야겠음.

나중에 돈 많이 벌면 집을 멋지게 지어서
나만의 서재를 꾸려준다는 약속을 남편이 해준적이 있었는데
그 꿈이 실현이 되면좋겠다.
그러기전에 일단은 책을 많이 읽어야겠지.
일주일에 한권씩은 읽어줘야 할텐데
학교책만 읽다보니 그럴새가 도통없다.
빨리 학교끝나고 한국가는 비행기안에서 열심히 읽어치우고 싶구나.



낯선사람에게 '이 옷 어때요?' 물어보기



옷쇼핑을 가면
꼭 맘에 드는 옷이
여러가지 색깔로 나와있을때가 가끔있다.
그중에서 평소에 가장 나와 잘어울리는 색깔과 내가 좋아하는 색깔을 일단 두개 집어서 거울앞에 선다.
평소에 생각하기를
나는 검정색과 초록색을 잘 받고 좋아하는 편인데
꼭 그중에 한개를 골라야만 하는데 결정을 못내리겠을때
내옆에서 쇼핑하는 전혀모르는 낯선 미국인 여자들 (백인이든 흑인이든 상관없이 좀 안목이 있어보이는 녀자들--)에게
대놓고 묻는다.
너가 나라면 이걸 사겠어? 아님 요걸 사겠어?
대답도 다 제각각이다.
'검정색은 어디에든 다 매치가 되잖아, 나같음 그걸 사겠어' '초록색이 좋은거 같은데?' 등등..

최근 2주간 스트레스가 너무 심해서
금요일 오늘 수업 끝나자마자 콧구녕에 바람좀 넣어줄겸
학교앞의 할인쇼핑매장에 구경차 들렀다.

열심히 이것도보고 저것도보고 눈요기 실컷하고있는데
한 30 -40 세 사이의 백인 여자가 내게로 다가온다.
왼손에는 파란색 써머드레스+파란 가디건, 오른쪽엔 블랙 드레스.
파란색드레스를 내밀며 '이거 어떻게 생각해?'
내 썬글라스 밖으로 보이는 그녀의 파란눈.
내스타일의 옷은 아니었지만 '당신 눈이 파란색이지? 잘 매치될것같아.'
잠시 솔깃한듯 입가에 미소가 살짝 번지는 그녀,
또다시 근심어린 얼굴로 '이거 너무 길이가 길어보여?'라고 묻는다.
나도 다시 묻는다 '하이힐 신을꺼야?'
그녀 '응'
나 '플랫슈즈신을거면 좀 길어보일텐데 하이힐 신을꺼니까 완전 괜찮을것같아.'
그녀 '가격은 $xx인데, 가격도 괜찮은것 같아?'
나 '응 완전 괜찮은데?'

그녀, 바로 고맙다는 말과 함께 계산하러 자리를 떴다.

무턱대고 다른 여자들에게 의견 물어보는건 내 특기였는데
그 반대의 입장이 되어주는것도 잠깐이지만 참 재밌었다.

확실히 여자들은
자신의 취향이나 선택을 남들도 동조해주길 바라는 면이 있다.
적어도 나는 확실히 그렇다. :)
