So, I started applying for random jobs which I feel I could do, utilise my experience, including proofreading, content editing, and and and Teaching. Lol.
Well, yeah, it's indeed laugh worthy, because of all the people and all the things, I never wanted to teach. I applied anyway, and wanted to try my hands in teaching as well. Because the last time I did (home tuition for one of my neighbors) I realised I am patient enough and have the skills to teach.
And eventually. I bagged a teaching job. Spoken English Trainer. Another LOL. Because my imposter syndrome also makes me panic and stutter most of the time I have to speak in English.
Anyway, I started my sessions, and my first student made me feel this is worth it. A 60+ year old man, who is an illiterate, but is quite charged and determined to learn. He gave me a gist of his life and how he wanted to get a 10th grade certificate and study further. He also wanted to learn English speaking so that he could handle his business in a better way. He is a good learner too!
Honestly, it's difficult, because my teaching experience isn't great, and it's hard to make him learn since cannot read or write. But he is trying. And I am helping him while I could.
So yeah. That's it. I just wanted to write about how heartwarming it was to find him sit across me and trying to learn. Which indeed reminded me of my father's determination as well.
I don't know how long I will do this job, coz I am not very passionate about it (yet) but I am waiting for such little moments of happiness this could bring.
Okbye.
