Tutoring Club

Yes, I'm blogging like crazy because it takes my attention away from studying LAW and Didik is sleeping. No one is telling me to keep studying. Haha.

Anyway, I started tutoring in Tutoring Club BHS last March 2009. And since then, it has been great!

I've always wanted to teach. And thank God for Ms. Pat who called me one day telling me that they're in need of one tutor and fortunately, my schedule allowed me to work part time.

I stopped tutoring last April and May because I had to do my internship. I missed the place so much that I found myself visiting a number of times. I was nervous going back since I felt like I've forgotten the "system." But contrary to my feelings, it was like I didn't leave at all.

I realized recently that my heart is really in teaching. More than anything, I love the kids. Damn, they can test your patience to the brim and be the meanest creatures in the world, but... I don't know what's in them that just makes me at peace. I had moments, mind you, when I cried because of too much frustration or because I felt disrepected. But those moments were too minute to even make me consider leaving. Apart from the kids, I have gotten to love the tutors. We all have become close and we are just like one family. Cliche as it may sound, but having them as my co-workers is absolutely heartwarming. They always give me a reason to believe in my passion, a motivation to be better, and a reason to stay.

Teaching is rewarding. It will forever be one of the things that would never fail to make me smile.
