When I paid for an AD to start teaching English online, I expected it to only last the three tropical winter months- June July and August, then I would be comfortable to walk around again doing my hair clients and attending farmer's markets to compile stories.
I didn't know that I would start to like and enjoy it so much that I would end up signing up for a Teaching Diploma which led me to working in a school, and then with professionals. Now, I am not even very clear on my job description because my roles have morphed into one beautifull giant that changes depending on the day.
Sometimes I am teaching grammar to school children, some days I am having hard discussions with Pyschology PHD students, and two days in a week I meet up with two Risk Management Accountants explain things like, Hazard and Operability, and the use of checklists. I often need to watch several SNL skits after these lessons. Then I have my four teenagers who have me searching for a myriad of topics from vegetarian diets to football to questions like 'can I show you my latest Anime figure?' in the middle of a grammar lesson. The kids come in all cute, with their stuffed animals during winter, or a jar of ice cubes to snack on in Winter.
There is an architect, co-ordinating one hundred projects, and I get to see the European rural arena with its numerous berries.
Now I eat, drink and sleep Students. They've become my friends, and I am an auntie to the children, and I am glad for this part of my life.
