For
those who haven't been keeping track: I've made a career switch by saying
goodbye to my life as a youth worker to teach English at a high school in my
hometown. The school year started last week and I SURVIVED! ;-) Just kidding, I
seriously love working at Houtens and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and
being able to work with my students.
I
already have a cute and funny anecdote.
I was catching up on the summer holidays with one of my classes (I also
taught them English last year). All of a sudden one of my students said:
'Bao-Nhi, you've got some serious swag!' Me: 'Excuse me?' Student: 'You know,
swag: S-W-E-K' This is how you would spell swag in Dutch phonetically. I
tried to keep a straight face… so adorable! haha
I must
admit that I still need to find a way to balance teaching, private life, social
life, study life, volunteering and my workshops, but I'm sure that I will get
used to it in a couple of weeks. At the end of the day, I still need to clear
my thoughts. I've been turning to my journal a lot these days so chances are
that I won't be posting much on this blog these coming weeks. Seriously sorry
for that, just need to give myself time to adjust to this new life schedule.
Enjoy
September…
Love,
Bao-Nhi
