June's Closing

Well that closes out the month. Its time for the Monthly Progress Report

So things are still the usual at Yale and life in Gumi. I have been at it for 12 months on end.


This month I worked 24 days at the Academy. As is the case most of the time you will find me at work.

As I said I no longer care about solving the work problems. I wish the kids showed one ounce of decency and respect towards me. Yelling, punishing, expecting them to change doesn't happen. I enjoy a little over half of them I think simply because they do try to open themselves up and learn. Its a rare thing at a private school. As I always said to myself growing up, I believed I would never sell myself to a business just to see profitable marks. The kids seriously are just leverage for a business entrepreneurship its not something I want to be apart of. Plain and Simple I am an educator not a babysitter.

Today was another day with 6 classes
I had kids report to Miss Jeong simply so they could be explained in Korean what I need: the basics: 1. homework 2. Sticker sheet and 3. books.
Some of the kids don't even have books as a result of internal managing.


At the end of this month I figured I would stay for another month at least. I am hoping and praying for a job more than anything. Its my hope that I can fix at least one of my disadvantages.

July will be here in less than 4 hours. I hope it comes in with a bang as I do have a lot of things to do.


Hyung gok dong continues to be Hyung gok.

There are many things that we need to consider in the coming month. I leave with these thoughts hoping to sway doubt and bolster anything that I do in the coming future.


I think a lot about the future because its important simply because I am well aware of the present and its GIFTS it brings as well as its illnesses.

I want to secure a future anyway I can simply because the Future is definitely better than now. WHY? Today is always good because its right now and we have a chance to make 24 hours worth of memories.
I am not afraid of anything.

Work: I worked for a year here and I will work the rest of the time I promised up to a point. I no longer care about trying to go beyond the basic amount of work because there is nothing left to prove. If he isn't happy with me then well I did my time. I just hope I can find something before its too late.

I stayed here my contract which is living proof I can keep my word and do hard work.

I have felt enough OTL here that I know anything I do will be less stressful.

Making my goals happen will be stressful but there is no price set to high for the obstacles I wish to conquer.

I wish I knew more what to do.


So, now I want to research colleges and jobs that would be good for us. I don't want to waste a moment and figure I need to put more grit into it.

I will not Accept Failure.

July here I come may you answer all my prayers hopes and dreams and whatever you bring please don't mess with my mind.
