I like to draw landscape scenery. I enjoy walking walking in the nearby parks. My favorite movie is the dark knight. I work as an english teacher. I volunteer at a homeless shelter.

I teach English. I volunteer to help the homeless. I like comedy movies. I like movies with Madea.
Speaker 2
English is my mother tongue. I am from the Midwest. I have been a dentist for the past 14 years. I spend money on gold, which is my favorite metal. I help my twin sister a lot. I love watching movies. My wife sleeps in a different room than me. I have not seen a Madea movie.
Speaker 1
Hey is english your mother tongue?
Speaker 2
It is. I'm from the midwest.
Speaker 1
Oh. I teach english so I was gonna do a shameless plug.
Speaker 2
Lol. I've been a dentist for the past 14 years.
Speaker 1
You must have money. I volunteer with the homeless. You should open your wallet.
Speaker 2
I have some, but I spend it on gold which is my favorite metal.
Speaker 1
Fair enough. But you should really consider being charitable.
Speaker 2
I actually help out my twin sister quite a bit.
Speaker 1
But that is family doesn't count. Do you like movies?
Speaker 2
Love movies. I watch them a lot as my wife and I sleep in different rooms.
Speaker 1
Wow, unecessarily deep. Maybe we should go see a comedy together?
Speaker 2
That sounds fun. What do you have in mind?
Speaker 1
Maybe something madea related..
Speaker 2
I'm not familiar with that.

Speaker 1
I ended up finding a couple of comedy movies that we can watch, and I wanted to give you the list so you can pick out the one that seems the most interesting to you. I am fine watching whichever you end up picking.
Speaker 2
That sounds wonderful! What did you end up finding?
Speaker 1
I think we should choose between Wedding Crashers, Clerks, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, or 21 Jump Street. Do any of those stand out to you?
Speaker 2
Well I love 21 Jump Street because Channing Tatum is one of my favorite actors. Are there going to be a bunch of us getting together to watch it?
Speaker 1
Yes, I think we could make it a big get-together. I am thinking about inviting a few other friends of mine. Would your wife like to come?
Speaker 2
Yes I bet she'd love to. I can also invite my sister and a couple of our mutual friends if that's ok? We can have a big movie party. Maybe do two movies.. or some snacks?
Speaker 1
That sounds like a plan! Let me know how many people are coming on your end and I can prepare food accordingly. What are some good movie night foods besides popcorn?
Speaker 2
We could do finger foods and stuff. Are you sure you will have time to get this all prepped around your work schedule?
Speaker 1
I should be okay. We're getting closer to the Summer, so most of my major work assignments are wrapping up. It will be a good way to close out the year. How has dentistry been?
Speaker 2
It's been great. There has been an influx of people in lately so business is booming. It's nice to see people taking their teeth seriously!
Speaker 1
That's great. I encounter a lot of homeless people who deal with serious damage to their teeth from years of neglect. It's always so sad to see
Speaker 2
We have a program at our practice that allows for homeless to come in and get dental work done free of charge. I have 6 appointments a week I keep open.

Speaker 1
Have you worked on any homeless people lately?
Speaker 2
I've worked on a few. Sometimes it's hard for them to get to my office, I'm trying to set up a mobile clinic so I can go to areas with a lot of homeless people to make it easier for them.
Speaker 1
Maybe I can help. I have been volunteering a lot, but would love to work with someone I know has done a lot of good for them.
Speaker 2
That would be wonderful. There is always so much to do. When I get my mobile clinic ready I will let you know so we can make plans.
Speaker 1
Thank you. It will be awesome working with you. And being able to help them also. So many need help and I just want to help them all.
Speaker 2
I know the feeling. There is so much that needs to be done, but only so much time and money to go around. It can feel overwhelming.
Speaker 1
I'm sure it is between doing that and dealing with all your other clients it does get overwhelming. I am sure it will all work out. You can't give up on something that gives your pleasure to be able to do.
Speaker 2
Oh I won't. I do enjoy it and it's too important to quit on. Tell me about your teaching job, do you only teach in a school or do you teach English to adults also?
Speaker 1
I usually only teacher little kids, but I have been thinking of maybe teaching adults at night. Or maybe even to the homeless who need it. 
Speaker 2
I think that would be a great idea. I'm sure you would really like it and it's a great way to give back.
Speaker 1
Yes, it is. I'm just worried about time. Between grading and lesson plans. Plus family and already volunteering. Can I make the time?
Speaker 2
It does take a lot. But maybe if you started small, just 1 night a week or a set number of classes, you could get an idea of how it would go without being overwhelmed. It is important not to take to much time away from your own family, too.

Speaker 1
How can I specifically help you with your clinic?
Speaker 2
Considering your volunteer experience, there is plenty you can do at my clinic. I am still in the process of setting up the mobile clinic, but you can help me spread the word so people can learn of the program where homeless people can get dental work for free.
Speaker 1
I can do that! Do you have any flyers or business cards I can give out?
Speaker 2
Yes, I do have some flyers that my clinic just had made, and you can help to distribute. In addition, be sure to mention the program to anyone that you think can benefit from it, or post about it online with a link to my clinic's website.
Speaker 1
I would be glad to! How are you doing today?
Speaker 2
I am feeling fine for the time being, I have been a bit swamped in the past couple of days due to there being a bit more customers than normal. I am sure it will ease up in the future, and I will be a lot more relaxed.
Speaker 1
I have faith that it will. Surges can happen in any line of work. Are you making sure to do anything to take care of yourself? 
Speaker 2
I am making sure to spend some time with family to relax, and to exercise now and then to keep in shape. I have considered meditation, as my wife abides by it, but I have not yet had the chance to do so.
Speaker 1
I hear meditation helps to reduce your blood pressure and stress levels. I do it on occasion and often feel like it's extremely helpful! Too bad I can't meditate when I'm teaching!
Speaker 2
Good to know, maybe I might consider doing meditation a bit more if it helps lower my blood pressure. Do you feel stressed out from teaching little children?
Speaker 1
It can be very stressful at times, but it's also ultimately rewarding. Mostly it just gets a little frustrating at time because children have so much energy and there are so many of them together in the classroom that reining them in can often seem like a hopeless endeavor.
Speaker 2
Is that why you are considering teaching adults at night? Do you believe adults would be easier to handle than children, which ultimately would cause you less stress and anxiety?

Speaker 1
I started meditating during my lunch break each day this week and it has helped so much with my energy and patience when my students during the second half of my day! 
Speaker 2
I'm so glad it worked so well for you!  I don't have nearly the discipline that my wife does, but I have been trying to take time to engage in small exercises when I get overwhelmed at work. What sort of meditation have you been doing?
Speaker 1
I have been doing mindfulness meditation.  It has help me.
Speaker 2
Do you tend to use guided videos or audio tracks or just do it yourself? 
Speaker 1
I just do it myself.  It can be done almost anywhere.  Any progress on your clinic?
Speaker 2
I wish. I don't know if it was the holiday weekend or what, but we had several emergencies come in. One gentleman had set off a roman candle in his teeth. Not a pretty sight. I had to pull a couple of late nights and I had no energy.  Did you do anything interesting this past weekend?
Speaker 1
No, I stay off the road and avoided all the traffic mess. I had a small cookout at home and rode an ATV a little.
Speaker 2
That sounds exciting! I haven't been on an ATV since I was a teenager. Where do you like to ride?
Speaker 1
I normally go to a friend's place.  He owns about 50 acres and has some nice trails to ride, but this weekend i just rode here in the yard..
Speaker 2
Oh, that sounds lovely. Growing up, I lived with my grandparents on 20 acres of land. It's so great sometimes to get out in the space. You must have a nice large yard to have a good ride.
Speaker 1
The yard is not too big, just a short ride. I did drop off some food for the homeless on Friday.
Speaker 2
That's awesome! Have you ever done any work for a local kitchen? Or do you just like to drop off supplies?
