Hey! How are you!?
Speaker 1
I'm doing pretty well. The kids are finally asleep haha.
Speaker 2
Oh gosh! Peace and quiet for you! :) I just got finished drawing :).
Speaker 1
That sounds nice! I work in computers, so much less creative. Tell me something about you!
Speaker 2
I love walking around in nearby parks, and then drawing the landscapes I see.
Speaker 1
Sounds like a nice hobby! I really like to meet new people and get to know them.
Speaker 2
I work as an english teacher though. Talk about less creative haha.
Speaker 1
Haha well I'm the daughter of a dentist so creativity doesn't run in my family.
Speaker 2

Speaker 1
Haha well some day when I retire I want to work in disney world. Talk about smiles!

What grade do you teach? What is your favorite book to teach?
Speaker 2
I am a middle school teacher and teach grades 5 to 8. I am trying to become tech savvy lol. Do you like working with computers?!
Speaker 1
I love working with computers, yes. How are you trying to improve your tech knowledge?
Speaker 2
I am taking some online classes. I was a bit apprehensive in the beginning but am quite enjoying it now! Might even sign up for a basic programming class....
Speaker 1
Oh yeah? That's great to hear! What kind of things are they teaching you in the class? Maybe I could send my grandma!
Speaker 2
Haha... your grandma has an in-house expert. In fact I was hoping to learn from you as well. Do you work mainly with hardware or software?
Speaker 1
No I do not teach people, sorry! I don't have time for that and too many people want my time for free. I work with both
Speaker 2
That’s awesome because usually people specialize in one or the other. What a broad skill set,
Speaker 1
There is not much to know about the hardware, it's all very basic. That would be like knowing how to fix a car but not how to drive it.
Speaker 2
I love that analogy! By the way, how old are your kids?
Speaker 1
My kids are young adults, 18 and 20. They are off at college and enjoying life
Speaker 2
Oh wow! That is wonderful.... I bet they love computers as well!

Speaker 1
Are your students behaving in class?
Speaker 2
Yes, I've got no trouble makers this time. Really nice kids. One even brought me an apple!
Speaker 1
So nice of you! My kids never seem to do that; they frown all day and are needy.
Speaker 2
Sounds like kids you love you! I do get the benefit of having them dressed and ready to learn. All of them know more about computers than I do, too!
Speaker 1
If I were less busy, then I wish I was on StackOverflow tutoring more people about computers.
Speaker 2
I wish I knew more! The classroom here has a few computers we use for typing, and even that helps me while the children learn. They all love to sit and type!
Speaker 1
I've been working with computer software for over 10 years and need new faces to meet! I can help you with your computer woes. Do you like programming, too?
Speaker 2
The students and I both learned how to use Microsoft Word to make a webpage, but I don't understand the code. Every student was able to make a page about their hobbies, with pictures. They really enjoyed the web page class, and I did, too!
Speaker 1
That story kind of brings me back to my carefree teenage years, first experimenting with webpages. Oh well. At least I got some of that feeling back, and was more socially connected, when I started hosting an official webpage for my grandma.

Speaker 1
Are you looking forward to your summer break? Or are you teaching summer school this year?
Speaker 2
I am looking forward to the summer break, but I am teaching a little bit to make some extra cash.
Speaker 1
Oh really? Are you teaching through the school district or for a tutoring company or what?
Speaker 2
I am teaching for the school district. They are looking for 5 teachers, so I said I would be willing to help out. 
Speaker 1
Nice. What grade level are you teaching? Do you have any kids you've taught before?
Speaker 2
I am teaching 5-8th grade students in summer school. The same as I teach during the normal school year. 
Speaker 1
Cool. So how many weeks are you going to be teaching summer school? Do you have plans for after you finish?
Speaker 2
I am teaching for 10 weeks and then I am going on vacation to Maine!
Speaker 1
That sounds awesome. I've never been to Maine but I've heard it's really beautiful. 
Speaker 2
Yes, I have been there once. I recommend that you go to Acadia National Park, it is quite an amazing place. 
Speaker 1
I'll definitely go if I make it up there! Are you going with friends?
Speaker 2
I am going with my family for the week. There is a 7 hour drive, but I think it will be worth the trip!

Speaker 1
My grandma just told me the craziest story about Maine. 
Speaker 2
Do tell! I'd like to know what she shared with you.
Speaker 1
She told me that she had a friend who almost died in Acadia National Park
Speaker 2
Oh my! Please elaborate! You know I'm visiting that park in a few weeks.
Speaker 1
That's what I remember. She had a friend who is also senior who went missing. It turns out she went on walk on a little-marked trail without telling anyone and got lost.
Speaker 2
Yikes! I'll make sure to bring a compass, my phone, and be in a group. Was her senior friend found? Alive? 
Speaker 1
Yes, she was found after a search. She got confused and went off-trail. Always tell someone where you are going!
Speaker 2
That must have been frightening for her. Do you and your kids like to hike?
Speaker 1
We love it! Although we can only do it about 6 months out of the year.
Speaker 2
That's a great bonding experience. I am not anymore able to do that with my family since they are so busy with their social networks.
Speaker 1
That's sad to hear. When's the last time you did any hiking?
Speaker 2
Oh, I still hike. I just do it alone now. This social networks have taken over the rest of my family. We only see each other during mealtimes and they're there physically but not really there, you know what I mean?
