Why a Teacher?

Someone asked me why I like being a teacher
...hmmm...
good question and easy answer -
It just feels good!!!
There are days I get to meet new students and get visits from the old ones. I get excited when a student understands a concept that was once confusing.I love connecting to people and kids seems to be so open-minded. When you become an adult, you already accept what others tell you as truth, but kids question and challenge and even disagree!

America is known for its individuality and Thai families are much more dependant on each other. I get to watch as kids are still so very close to their families yet wish to maintain their own ideas and beliefs.

Finally, I love learning from all of my students. I know about Yu-ki-?? (well, not quite), paintball and WarCraft, Super Junior, nano technology, YouTube and, yes, even Hi5.

If any of you guys are reading this, I wish to thank each one of you for making my teaching experience amazing and fun! And I hope you will always remain open-minded to new ideas and compassionate to everyone you meet!!! I love you all !!!
