CLIx Growing

Propped up by meds, I enter the training

A new state for CLIx, we are growing.

I wonder if I will have energy to sustain

There is no one but me for this phase.

Then we begin to converse, building rapport

Concerns are the same in education wherever you go.

Students do not talk in English, they are shy

Afraid of failing, loss of face, they do not try.

They lack vocabulary and grammar know-how.
