#ILoveTeaching

20 May

I’m so wonderfully blessed. ❤ Just spent the afternoon chatting with a student about his dreams for the future and past accomplishments. He has worked incredibly hard and gone from speaking broken Chinese only to speaking Chinese, good English, and good German. He’s now graduating from college with an American Bachelor’s degree, and he’s off to Germany to start new adventures. It’s such a blessing to see what he has done and to hear about where he is going. And to be the proud teacher of a student this awesome (who brings me cola every time we talk 😛 ) is just a wonderful feeling. I’m so happy to have a chance to be part of their lives. ❤

Teaching is not an easy job, I’m a little surprised at just how difficult it actually can be. Well, time-consuming is probably a better word than difficult. It just takes a lot of time, effort, and heart. To be rewarded with students who get to move forward in their lives, who are seeing dreams realized and lives blessed is worth every last bit of work.
