Today I taught at a kindergarten class for the first time.<\/p>\n
It went splendidly! All my games worked. Nobody cried. Everybody paid attention. Every kid got lots of talking time and repeated a lot of English. They remembered the words I taught them well. They (and I) got lots of exercise. x_X; I was STARVING after one hour. I kept their attention…wait, did I say that? That’s the hard part, though. And they had fun. I had fun. It was super. <\/p>\n
Now, this represents a major milestone for me.<\/p>\n
When I frist started teaching kids 6 years ago, I used to get so stressed that I used to cry in the bathroom after lessons. That’s right. <\/p>\n
Now, I have become the office Kid’s Coordinator in charge of assessments, demos, kids reports, planning parties, training other teachers, etc etc. AND also I’m going to teach at an outservice kindergarten. <\/p>\n
That’s major personal growth for me.<\/p>\n
I am by no means a master…I’m not saying I’m better than everybody. I still want to learn much much more…. However, I feel I’m allowed to boast a little bit because I struggled SO hard and went through so much stress to get to this point. *laugh* My co-workers all think I love teaching kids. I guess I do now, but it certainly wasn’t always like that.<\/p>\n
On the train ride home, I cried. They were tears of joy. I did it!! I did it….!!!!! XD I DID IT!!!!!<\/p>\n
Now if only my fight career would turn around, and life would be golden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
