ABC HAPPINESS
Some of you
might know about my teaching career. ;) Well, I am still shy to call myself a
teacher but this brainy activity is a great source of my bread and butter. And
even more than that. It's also a great chance to practise my nervous system. :)
My greatest reward is not always money. It's this inner satisfaction no money
can buy (just like love, or a cat's purring...). It's when I look into my
students' eyes and see the light of knowledge. And what really takes my breath away is that I
am often that “electrician”! :D I mean I sometimes help my students switch on
the light of their knowledge! This event always fills me with so much strength!
I am close to dancing at such moments. :D Perhaps it can be called "crazy
professional excitement". I don't know. Maybe you have a better term for
this condition (syndrome?)
Today I was so
proud of my student...She has finally mastered these 26 signs of the English
language - I mean the alphabet!!! I could not help feeling proud of her and a
bit of ...myself. :D Haha....
Well, actually
my student is my great inspiration...since it's my own mama...Yeah! My mom's
been learning English for some years (by tiny steps) but this time she seems to
be seriously determined! And it makes me wonder. :) I am happy to see her
learning new vocabularies every day. It also can be that my mom's progress
feeds my own pride. :) I am now her strict teacher and she is my diligent
student. Probably the best beginner I have ever seen in my life so far.
:)
I am happy to share some knowledge (or at least dusty remnants of it!) with everyone who needs it. And today I am really thrilled to see how many copy books my dear mama has already completed! I am really proud of her. I really hope she'll be as excited as I was when she starts to speak English. :) I hope she'll enjoy this new world I can't imagine my life without now - the world of the English language. :) Keep your fingers crossed for her and me, please!

ReplyDeleteThank you, David!!! :)
DeleteI will keep my fingers for your mom and you!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky your mom is, the best teacher is always beside her!!
My mom...she once tried to learn...well..that was Chinese or English...but she gave up soon!!
Dear Asako, thank you for your support! I think motivation is the most important thing. My mom is certainly lucky because she always hears my speaking English, so she has no chance to escape from English! :P
DeleteHello Dear Daria, I´m sure your mother will get that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Asako, your mother has the best teacher.
My daughters decided to study English too. I feel I influenced somehow.
I´m not able to teach them, but I can motive them with all my happiness and I´m very excited about that.
All the best
