Good Morning!
Yes... That's the first words I always says to my students when I was teaching English in Tainan, Taiwan. Well it was a great time as I never thought that I could have such opportunity in Taiwan. There are a lot of native speaker in Taiwan or people who can speak fluent English without Indonesian accent. However, that opportunity came to me, and even though I was full of hesitation and afraid about what to do, I couldn't help myself not to grab the opportunity while my pocket was shrinking. Yes, it is true that the payment is half of normal teaching English salary here, but still, it is good enough to support my life for a month or two.
A little bit of flashback, one of my classmate offered my ex for teaching English. My ex is from Slovakia and her English is way better than me. With a western look and gorgeous looks, she will be easily get the students attention and interact with them. However, when she got this offer, she first refused to do so. She said, she doesn't like playing monkey for kids for their entertainment. Well I couldn't say much, because that's what she experienced. However, I told her to try, because we need the money. Thereby, She decided to try and suggested my classmate to also include me in the project. Well I never though they could hire me, therefore I never hoped, but then... my classmate reply "Sure... you can come with us to the office and have interview with the boss".....In the office, even after interview I still doubt they are going to hire me, until I received email from them to come for a consolidation with other teachers involved in the project, including my ex.
So, the boss assigned us to teach in two different school. And for one school, the schedule is fix and teacher will teach for 4 weeks straight, while in other school the schedule is not fix and teacher might teach for a week or two. Interestingly, they assigned me into the fix one which is a private girls senior high school, while they assigned my ex into non-fix one. My ex suggested me to change the job with someone else, so we can teach at the same school. However, the other school is a normal school with both boys and girls. And they have assigned me into girls school.... So...Which one will you prefer as a BOY? Of course Girls Senior High School! So I decided not to switch the schedule and stick to my beautiful faith :)
to be continue...
