If you have read, the recent posts I have made, you would know that I was having a bit of a difficult time teaching my Chinese students. I have to admit there were moments when I was beginning to doubt myself. I kept thinking whether I should continue or just make a swift exit.
Leaving the job is something I can really do without much of a fuss and/or consideration, I am after all at a point where I only have to worry about my personal financial situation. No rent to pay, no brothers/sisters to send to school, no utilities to be worried about, as everything is paid for by my sister. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to just leave and be done with it, rather than to continue and be subjected to unnecessary stress.
I could certainly do that, but what kind of person will I be? These children are not the enemy. They are not the problem, It is, I believe a matter of finding out more about them and from there, start building trust. And If you are wondering why I am sharing this song, well it is because the lyrics somehow stirred me towards a different direction.
I will not give up because as the song says "to be human is to love, even when it gets too much, there's no reason to give up."
