Proud to say: Io sono insegnante =)

Just like others, I wrote lawyer, model, doctor even police in My Ambition column when I was in primary school. Well, teacher is not what came out in my mind when I first saw the column. Yeah, although I love teaching that much right now, I was not intend to be a teacher when I was young. Alright, alright, I admit that I wrote my ambition as a teacher in my chinese essay, for the purpose of getting good grade. But I didn't mean it. (I am those typical hardworking student, will strive for A no matter what it takes, even if I had to lie. Hehe ) Later on, when it comes to choosing courses for the university we wanted, I chose what my mum wants me to be, and of course, it's teaching line. I don't mind because I don't even have a dream. Yeah, in other word, I am not a ambitious girl. I know that. So I followed what people ask me to.
2 years ago, because of some incident, I started to stand on my own by giving tuition. At the beginning, I give tuition for the money sake. I teach because I had to. Earn money, go travels, as well as living expenses. But when one of my student told me that she got 44 marks for her exam (FYI, she got 22 marks for her maths before I teach her.) I was thrilled. I never thought that it can bring you that much of satisfactions. And when she got an A for her PMR, I was glad that I did my part. I didn't simply charge for the fees, I make them feel it is worth to pay for. Although the money they paid me for one hour was just the same amount of money i paid for my maths tuition last time, but it's for one month. Hehe. Well, what can I say. Living standard has increased, economy is getting better. (Okay, I know, I am talking crap over here.) Anyways, I gave it all for what they pay me for.
I know I will like teaching, eventually. And I do. Two years of giving tuition and 3 months of practical really make me fall in love in this field. Despite the money I earn, the improvement of the students did give me confident to go for my dream. The other day my mum told me that her friend's grandchildren scolded by his tuition teacher because he couldn't catch up in tuition class. She said he is stupid and slow learner. Hey come on, if he is smart enough, then he wouldn't come for tuition. You should have just keep your mouth shut and give more patience to him. I was so pissed off and a sentence just out from my mouth immediately. "Ask him to quit, I will teach him, cheaper than what he paid for." And I guess I have to back to Seremban to give tuition, soon. Huhu. But, I am willing to do that. I am not a super-shero, but I am going to save him from that devil women. Grrrr......
And now, I am going to make a big decision. I think, I guess, I probably will put teaching aside first. Yeah, you heard me. I am not going to be a teacher, YET. But I will. It's just that I want to go after my dream first. Maybe few years later, you might see me teaching your children in school again. But, just not now. What is my dream? Something adventurous. Stay tuned!
All out of all, I still love teaching, more than ever.
