A Teacher Once Again

Last week I was signed up for a volunteering program for which I do not recall volunteering for...but I didn't mind. Nara Bank has this program where we go to a public school in Jackson Heights and teach kids about saving money. And I think that's a good idea...for kids that aren't in kindergarten. I had to go into a kindergarten classroom with another Nara Bank employee from another branch so I never met this person before, was handed a big black garbage bag full of supplies and was told to go teach and paint. Besides being blindsided and unprepared, I had fun with it. The kids got little piggy banks to paint. I asked them what they wanted to save their money for and when one kid said toys the others decided toys were worth saving their money for. And most of the pigs turned out grayish even though they had a rainbow of colors (they mixed all the colors together) and when I asked one of them what kind of design he was doing, he cooly played it off by saying a Batman design.

Nara Bank customers are very...they're so...I can't put an exact word for it but let me explain. It always seems like customers come in all together all at once. For instances, it will be dead quiet and then all of a sudden 5-6 customer will come in at once. Then after all their business is done and they leave it will get quiet again, and then 5-6 more customer come in at once. Strange you say? Well I KNOW why that happens. The customers will all congregate in the parking lot. No words are spoken, no eye contact is made. One by one random customers who don't even know each other will wait for one other until there is enough to start a line in the bank. Then with no signal they will together go into the bank and make my job harder. And then they get angry because they have to wait on line. I KNOW that's the reason. I just know. Those jerks.
