Work

I'd never thought that I would ever do anything related to education since I was haunted by mom's heavy workload and stress as a teacher (I hate kids and impatient btw). But here I am, end up being a little part-time TA and so enjoyable, kind of irony huh :) . I guess the reasons come from little things. Like the time Mrs. Elena walked across the class to get me a bottle of water when she secretly noticed I didnt have one. Like Mira's inspiring emails to push me study in EU. Or when a student shared his dream with me. At this school, I got art knowledge, job offers, study opportunities and beloved friends. It was sad to see some students took it for granted and didnt realize how privilege they were having such great opportunities like these. However I do have struggles and pressure at work. I always whisper "plzz Dont look at me Dont notice me" under my breath whenever I interpret for a hall of people and try not to miss a single word from the professor even though he speaks for 3hrs straight with a speed of light, Italian accent and full of specialized words :( I was so scared and stressed and I failed sometimes, just like a slap on my face reinforced that I was not good enough. But it is this combination of challenging and loving feeling that make me go lalala whenever I go to work.

P.s1. I ate a lot of yogurt before bedtime so I'm hyper now and I cant sleep and I get so emotional thinking that I have to say goodbye to this favorite part time job for awhile.

P.s2. This picture was taken at the most outstanding workshop I've ever join. Mr.Luis's presentation on Integrated design was so good that everyone asked him to continue for another 1hr (4hr in total) 😳 I was one of them haha cuz he was so charming and intelligent.
