I Deserve Better
It might hav been alarming to others tat I hav tis mentality. It is onli @ times when I given with e respect I deserve which makes me realise tat I am oso entitled to such 'priviledges'. I gonna repetitvely remind myself tat I deserve better. I shldnt short change myself n to realise how much I am losing out onli @ e veri end. I am glad tat I am given this opportunity to b able to coach my student, Calvin. He comes frm a traditional chinese family. He has several siblings and he is being ranked 2nd in e family. He lives wif his grandparent's sister n husband. When I first arrived @ his house, I felt welcomed by e elderly. To b frank, I hav no idea wat gives me this feeling. Perhaps e impression I hav of elderly r warm n easy-going which might leads me to this feeling. E grandparent's sister served me with a cup of drink. E drink varies every lesson. She was kind enoff to ask if I would mind wintermelon drink. I gladly accepted it. She alwaes makes me feel @ ease n wouldnt mind to stay longer than required. Frm time to time, I finally feel respected as a teacher. I would not say e others din give e basic respect. However, e genuine admiration sparkling thru e eyes of e elderly does make a big difference. It is onli till todae tat I realise how it feels to b a tutor.
In life, there is alwaes ups n downs. Apart frm the heart-warming incident mentioned above, there r sickening ones outta. I felt utterly disrespected as tutor over another parent. I gotta admit tat my English isnt fantastic to beign wif. I believe tat if u r concerned abt e results of e tutor, u shld hav verify them with her b4 engaging her. If u r so concerned over her results, then u shld hav look @ her certs thoroughly rather than glancing thru it. I simply dun understand y she had to act like she is easy to get along wif when she is a real pain in e ass. I dread e tot of pulling myself to teach her daughter. It onli disgusts me further when she claims her daughter as Princess. Oh god! I simply cant wait for e month end to arrive as I do not wanna see her n her kiasu but darn lazy daughter ever again.
Puttin aside my rant, life is as per normal. I hav been living my life or rather tryin hard to make it fulfilling by taking up several tutees. I hav wif me 4 students on hand. I hav jus dumped one which is gonna end @ e end of this month. I am gonna dump another one @ e end of this month. On a brighter note, my indian student hav recommended me to another indian family n Calvin's Mum wanted me to teach his other 2 younger siblings. In short, life is manageable n I am tryin my best to make full use of it! :)
