Fortunately, I could begin this work from March. Now, what I have been doing is helping disabled people, who don't have a chance to study, to prepare for qualification examinations. I have charged of teaching middle and high school classes. At first, I thought teaching them would not be difficult, but it has become more complex. It was not easy to teach someone.
Though they are all senior citizens, they have much more passion than the young. Their burning desire to study are greater than mine to teach them. I was embarrassed when I couldn't catch up with their desires. Their eagerness for learning was very respectable.
I thank them and am sorry about following my unprepared teaching. In my own way, I think I had prepared my classes well, but after the class I often had an unsatisfied feeling. Yet, I began to cheer up soon because they encourage me to do my best. Thus, the way that I can reward them is to try to help them.
When I first taught middle school classes, there wes only one student. However, now there are many students in the class. The larger the number of students is, the bigger the burden and responsibility I have. However, I have obtained many lessons, which is why I can't stop this work. Because they all have affected me, it will be a good instruction to me when I get old.
There is one student who wants to go to college in my high school class. His eagerness for going to college is uncommon. Thus, when I talk to him about college life, I try to give him as much college information as I can, from taking the entrance examination, to college life. I hope to see him next year in the same college.
He result from this experience, which I feel so good about, is that all students passed the last examination of the license. My heart was full of happiness even though I didn't teach them to the end. In addition, I can't forget the letter and flower vase they gave me on the Teacher's Day. That flower vase is now on my desk with the letter. Though I have received many gifts, this gift gave me a great impression above all.
Through this work, what has been changed a lot is my mental attitude. I could look back upon the past and think that "I'm a very happy person, but I have complained about many things till now." Besides, I have became appreciative of my ability to walk with my normal legs and to speak what I want to. I am grateful for my healthy birth to my parents. Probably it would have taken a long time for me to become aware of this gratitude, if I didn't meet them.
Frankly speaking, I confidently can't say that I can do this work well. I have thought to quit this work many times in the middle of teaching. It's hard to maintain a cheerful mind from the beginning. However, if my little assistance can change their lives, I must become responsible. When I think about it, I started to try hard to prepare the classes completely, and sometimes scold myself for my laziness. Although they are difficult, I뭠l do my best not to regret them someday when I look back upon this day.
