Questions from Sea Girt Students #3 (Part 2)

Continued...

Hey PeteMan! How's the weather? I hope that Costa Rica is treating you well. I think that it was fantastic that you were able to visit our small-town school to teach us. If you have any more amazing encounters/pictures feel free to write them down for us to see! I hope that you enjoy your adventures!

Sincerely, Sea Girt 6th Grade 

I sure will! 

I’m also combining this weather question with the next one:

Hi Peteman,

Thank you for coming to our school we enjoyed it. You were really funny. How is Costa Rica? Is it fun there? Also how is the weather?

Charlie 6 grader from Sea Girt 

Right now it is hot ...and I love it. Melana does too, she just doesn’t know it yet. Today it’s not as hot as it’s been, but it is 30°C with 66% humidity. Making today nice and cool. The weather’s not actually too bad, but our house has a tin roof and it gets pretty hot in there, I’d say over 45°C some days. Remember, we don’t have air conditioning and only just bought a fan last week.

Hi Peteman,

I wanted to thank you for coming to visit us 6th Graders at Sea Girt Elementry School. I was wondering.....Does it take a lot to tend and care for the farm and animals?

Thanks, 

Nina 6th Grade

Like taking care of any pet, animals need to be fed, and cared for. The pigs probably take the most work because, unlike the chickens, dogs, cats, horses and cows, they are not allowed to roam around and must be fed and cleaned regularly. Personally, I don’t do too much with the animals, but every once in a while I will help to milk a cow or hop on a horse to move the herd around. 

Thanks for coming to our school, PeteMan. I have two question for you. First, how is Costa Rica doing for you? Second, you know what's weird? Donald Duck never wore pants. But whenever he got out of the shower, he'd put a towel around his waist. What's up with that? 

I love Costa Rica! 

You know what’s really weird? Pluto is Micky’s dog but Micky isn’t Pluto’s mouse…. what’s up with THAT?

Dear PeteMan, 

Thank you for visiting our school. I just have one question about your job. Where do you think you will go after Costa Rica? 

From, 

Connor, 6th grader

Has my mom been talking to you? 


After I finish here, I hope to go and work for one of my mentors, Simon Norton, doing youth programing. Last summer, we worked with teens from the UK, Ireland, Iraq and the US to talk about how young people can make a difference in conflict and post conflict situations. 

I am also looking into experimental forms of classroom techniques to make education more engaging. 

So it looks like education in one way or another is in my future. I hope I get a chance to talk about it with all of you some day! (maybe after I write my thesis)

Whatever I do, I want to make sure that I’m making a positive difference in the lives of young people.

Thanks again for all your questions! Also, thank you to those who wrote me Thank-yous! I really appreciate it!

Coming soon... a tour of my house!
