Reflection: Why am I a teacher?

How to read more?
Get in the mood From my experience, one way that I use to get myself in the mood to read is to allow myself to miss reading. So, I would go on these reading breaks to focus on my other hobbies (playing instruments, playing the Sims 4, writing on the blog, watching, etc.). Then, after…

Discussion: The Power of Solitude
When I was younger, I believed that when you were alone, you weren’t cool, you were a loner, a loser, and that nobody wanted to be with you. OH, HOW WRONG WAS I? I know I’m not the only one who thought that way and maybe some kids nowadays still think like that which is…

Weekly journal #4
1. My mental health This week was much better. It’s also the last full week of regular classes. I was stressed out at the beginning because a lot of my students missed their exams and I had to run after them. Once the exams were done though, I felt more relaxed. Then, I was worrying about…

Review: Chocolate EP11-12-13-14-15 (spoilers)
I’m writing this as I listen to the OST. I’m currently listening to JUST LOOK FOR YOU by AILEE! These episodes were as wonderful as the first ten. Episode 12 was my favourite. Their return to Wando was executed very well. When Kang finally realized who Cha-Yeoung is, ahhhhhhh I cried so much! It’s more…

Teaching: How to motivate our students?
Let me tell you this. Teaching teens in 2022 is not as easy as it seems. No, my students aren’t bad kids; I think they just lack guidance and discipline. They lack motivation and while we, as teachers, try to encourage them, sometimes, it is not enough. In today’s post, I would like to share…
