I have been called Nick, Teacher, Babo, and many other names, I have been looked at with hatred, with love, and with every other emotion from A-Z mostly between Curiosity and hatred unfortunately.
I have felt bitter because I am uncertain as to what I should do, I have had to defend my actions to my friends leagues away from me because my friends here are limited and not really what I would call good friends.
Today was a typical day not worth mentioning. I had a good morning as I always do. I felt a little guilty like I am always feeling and work was another typical jaunt of who cares.
I say that only because I am tired of caring what the kids think.
My classes:
TC2: students who talk in Korean, don't do homework and basically SSDD
TD2: Julie and Sarah are idiots~ they play with themselves more than focus on my lectures. I dont care for them and want them to get out of here.
TD1: my special Rose~ a gifted bright student who doesn't like English much and doesn't really do anything. She doesn't talk, she has no hobby's and she doesn't seem to be interested.
I really hope that we find a better place. there is a better place because Kids care about English in other places more. Kids are disciplined more. No matter what we can't sell ourselves to this system. Our teaching can and will be better.
I will not divulge any more on this today....
I was given the best gift other than my darling's love and support the other day.........
A kid I have met 3 times called Me Uncle. So I have been called as I said Nick, Sam, Waegook much to my chagrin, and Teacher, and still I ma primarily viewed as an Outsider. This kid ignored me most of the time but he said goodbye and I really hope to see him again. I want to hold him in my arms and I want to have a son and or daughter or plural like him just because of him calling me Uncle.
Christina and I are together ...Christina is his Aunt and I wish to be his uncle too. I am finding myself having a desire to raise a family and build stronger family traditions with what I got.
I can't express my gratitude and my cozy warm feeling enough. I dream of this and this is why I work.
I want this more and more and I am on my knees.
I will expound on this later but I found true love and a nephew in Korea. I want to cherish this forever.
