I always knew that this job was going to be difficult, and with long hours. As much as I heard that and tried to prepare myself for it, there was no way to guess how busy I would be. Setting up my room seemed like ages ago... and how I managed to do that is nothing short of a miracle! I feel I have some disadvantages since I'm not very strong at decor... maybe its a gender flaw. After working 10 of the past 11 days (including Saturdays and Sundays!) and over 11 hours per day, I can sincerely say that the life of a teacher is a difficult one. I can also say that I would not trade it for anything. As exhausting and frustrating as some days are, every day there are moments that reaffirm my faith in this career change. Today's inspiration came from a student who told me...
"Mr. Lin, you inspire me."
If only her 10 year old mind knew how much she did the same for me. I absolutely LOVE my job...
