It's been a long week for me. When you are sick, you don't want to get out of your bed..... so bad that I have classes that I CAN'T miss. Especially the statistics class. It is really hard class. I'm not a Math person anyways...
so I had to go to classes not to miss what professor teach me. I know it's gonna be a disaster if I missed the class even one time.
Had so many things going on this weekend.
Friday was veterans day, so I did homework and slept a lot :) That was probably the day I got most sleep time since school started.
On Saturday, I had tutoring japanese to 7yrs old girl. I wanted to let her shop some items in Japanese supermarket. Through that she can learn some Japanese and products.
I met up with her dad and her brother there, we went to shopping together.
It was fun. The happiest thing after that was her dad told me that she said " I want to live in Japan someday when Keine(her brother) become 10 years old or so."
She hated Japanese and feel hesitate to talk in Japanese. She was going to Japanese school in KY one time a week. Since the school is only one time a week, it has a huge amount of homework.That paranoid her literally. She understand when she hear it but doesn't want to talk.
So her dad wanted to let her feel like "Japanese is fun!" through my tutoring.
She is not really a serious and easy student to teach like facing a desk and write...
It was pretty hard time for me to let her concentrate.
I sometimes struggle to get her attention even during tutoring.
I am so glad she started feel liking Japanese again. I feel so happy.... 報われてる気がする。I'm gonna do my best for her! :)
I always have to remind myself that my tutoring is not for study but for fixing her feeling to Japanese.
yes.
Went to bowling in New Port as an event for Japan American Society Greater Cincinnati Young Professional. We got 8 people out and had a lot of fun. The photos are available below.
then had dinner with my bf and his family. Went to club at night with my friends:) It was good weekend. After the fun time is study time as always.... yes,.
I now have a lot of hw to do since I was sick last week.
gotta catch up :)
Hey, this is Akiko! I know how you feel when you teach something to someone. It's is really hard because the students are not you. They won't do what you want them to do, and it is very difficult for them that you think is very easy, but harder you feel it is, you feel more happy and sattisfied when they understand what you say and has changed. I'm happy to know you are doing fine. Enjoy your life!! and Good luck!!
