I have little to none experience dealing with local people and children to begin with. My management time was also bad because again I think ' time is mere human construction' and that I don't feel the need to follow it unless I make a deal with others. Fast forward, I slide myself into teaching world.
There are obviously good and bad moment throughout my teaching experience. All my life, I could never be patient with a little child but teaching them has taught me to be more patient and dive into their little world.
The children like me despite my inability to be punctual and lack of communication with the parents. There were lots of misunderstanding regarding schedule. I was in position juggling between my writing gig, my study, and this teaching. I have to travel 6 km daily in a heavy traffic jam and the parents expected me to be really punctual. In short, my schedule was really tight and no way I could move it.
It's problematic. I do posses Asian looks which then made it weird that I speak English better than the local tongue. It's just I feel the clearance whenever I speak English compared to Indonesian. I'd truly appreciate if they could speak English yet unfortunately no.
Even today, I asked my classmates and rehearse everything I should be saying only to say this simple sentence
' I quit'
It sounds simple but in common tongue, there's some sort of tone which then will decide the whole next situation. I don't want it to lead me into awkward and unfavorable situation.
I was actually on denial that I love and enjoy writing more than anything. I always think that my writing sucks therefore I should never write. But since steemit, I've written lots of things in very diverse topic although I mostly write spontaneous poetry.
I really prefer to work behind the spotlight creating magic and inspire others. I am a person with so many on going project which are somewhat abandoned due to my bad management time and resources.
This is actually just another phase in life that I've been able to taste what it's like to be a teacher. Still I'd prefer honing my writing skills or invest my time in practicing my coding whilst also getting out of the fish bowl and moving on with my study responsibility.
It's been 60 days I am on steemit . It has helped me in so many different ways. It's also a part of my life journey which I could say a little ' spiritual'. I've written countless and numerous article about my story and what I truly care about my surrounding. I've met different people with different role. Some guide me to ask a right question, some taught me practical skills, some inspired me to chase after my goals, some showed me my flaws of my writings. I've also came across numerous articles which are truly eye opening and thought provoking. All in all, It's way more emotionally satisfactory than to teach.
It is just that I think, teaching little children is not yet my forte and something I wouldn't do for a living. I'd probably teach again one day but I'd try to deal with elder range group.
From now on, I'd commit to create more well written and thought provoking content which I personally find to be emotionally rewarding.
To sums it up, I'd also not to forget this simple wisdom of
