(Not my usual) Christmas Break

In about 30 or 40 minutes, I would be preparing to go to work again. I am not the most industrious person I know. But hey, know I've realized that there is a reality in the belief that when you love what you are doing, you'll always have the energy to start your day with joy in your heart.I guess teaching is not really one of my passions, maybe it's the fact that I'm teaching Koreans that's why I am enjoying my 2-weeks side-line. It's sad to think that I would only be able to teach them for 2 weeks. If only, I don't have my "career" as a student assistant, I would have been very much eager to continue. But considering the months to come, school works really would not tolerate an additional item in my very hectic schedule (already).
Eventhough, there are some kids taht give me a headache, Tony 3 and Chris 2 for example, I can say that it is still so much fun to be able share some of my knowledge to them. I do hope that their minds would reatain all the things that I have tried to explain.
My favorite students are Tony 2, Jenny, David 2,Tony 1, Alice,Hannah, Sean,David and Joshua. Tony 2 looks like an angel to me. He is so gentle and kind. It was indeed a surprise to learn that he is a blackbelter in Taekwondo. Jenny is such a bright girl. She is also very kind and fun to be with. She gave me a Korean postcard and I really did like it! David 2, is of course, the ever-reliable student, who everyone trusts. He is diligent and respectful at all times. Tony 1 is so cute, and he loves to check my notebook in KOrean. ^.^ Alice is very pretty,gentle and kind. Hannah, Oh, I remeber the 1st time I met her, she kept on saying that I am strange. I took it as a compliment. Sean is determined to improve his reading proficiency in English, I can see that! Compared to James, he is a better person, I guess. He is also kind. The twins, David and Joshua, are very smart. I feel that they are giving their best to cope with their college life here in the Philippines. I also enjoy teaching David logic, hehehe..at least, I also got to review some topics of Logic.
The other teachers are nice nad fun to be with. Although I feel that sometimes, I am irritating them because I often speak in Korean. Yeah, I admit it, I'm such an inconsiderate and insensitive person for doing that. I'm very sorry.
I still have 2 or 3 days to enjoy the company of my new-found friends. It was such a blessing from God that I came with Francis last Dec. 14 in his new job (to sustain his "luho"; luxury). Thanks, Cis!!
