Not Hopping Anymore

Work work work. Had my first job for 3 months at this lovely place called Letzhop. I would say it's a love-hate relationship.

I would say that the 3 months I've worked in Letzhop as an underpaid labourer has been quite an experience. I still don't understand why would parents want to send their 4 year old kids for the same tuition 3 days in a week. It totally doesn't make sense. THEY'RE FOUR YEARS OLD FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!! When I was 4, I was having the time of my life being a kid. Staying at home, watching tv and playing. NOT having tuition classes. Parents nowadays. Shame on you. 

When you have too much time to prepare for lessons,
you draw on the board.
The progress throughout the months working was from 1 class to 2 classes to 3 classes per week of my four working days. Different classes, different students, different experiences. Technically it was like I love hate my job, then I love my job, then I hate my job, then it's not that bad. Hence came about my conclusion of the love-hate relationship.

There are times when my boss leaves me alone in the centre and I got to do my own thing/prepare for the lesson, I literally got to do my own things. Scroll through social medias and watch tv series or movies. It was that great but I would say that's not my favorite part of my job. The favorite part was actually preparing the crafts, doing crafts with the kids, taking pictures of them, and seeing their work being pasted on the walls or doors of the classrooms.

Actually sometimes I wonder how are the two little monsters right now. Some part of me actually misses them though some part of me is rejoicing that I don't have to deal with them anymore. Teaching this two kids was a real test of patience. Copping with a slow learner and a fast learner at the same time isn't as easy as it seems though they're both 4 year olds. You could see the difference in their personality, intelligence and maturity.

The 2 kids that came for class 3 days a week class was definitely the cutest couple ever. A boy and a girl. Awww. It's funny to see the girl boss the boy around. Seeing these 2 through the 2 months of classes was like visually learning Social Psychology. The theories are true! Sometimes I wonder what are their perception of me as a teacher. Really hope they learnt something. I'm not sure if they learnt from my lessons or it's just a growing up process for kids where as the day goes by they automatically grow smarter. I do miss them but I think that 2 months is enough, I deserve a break.

A salute to all the teachers I had and all the teachers out there. It's amazing how they could teach as a long term duty, deal with monstrous kids and all variety of kids, persevere though it may be hard, and most importantly, be patient, loving and continue on with their job. Teachers are truly heroes. #youallwinliaolo but it's true. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank all the teachers out there. You guys are amazebombs. Continue doing what you guys are doing and do it even better.
