Nothing to do means boring.  
During classes,  I am sitting in the staff room.  
When I am told to go to Wakaba class, a class for retarded students, I go there.
But the class has always enough teachers to teach and help them.
So it maybe doesn't matter if I am there or not.

I know some staff say that i don't work because I don't want to, something like that negative things about me.   I was sad to hear that and depressed for a while.
I asked a Vice President for a job and I tried looking for something to do.

My solution...
I try the best in my situation and I don't care what others say.

The second year and now

The second year, 
I worked to help a girl who has OI and uses a wheelchair.
Her bone doesn't grow normally and fragile, easy to be broken.
She can't move by herself,
so I help her when she goes to a restroom and moves to other rooms.
She is so smart that I don't have to be with her during classes.
While she studied in her class, I went to other graders' classes to take care of students who can't focus on studying.

The third year, this year, I am working to help the same OI girl at junior high school.
She is the very first DISABLED NOT RETARDED student ever of this local school.
The city government,  the board of education, school teachers were upset to accept her and
her parents and she was so nervous to start a whole new school life with nobody know them.

Two months and a half has past,  she is doing great so far.
Teachers and new friends astonish her smartness and are accepting her personality and disability.
I'm glad to see that.

Three years have passed

Three years have past since I had put my last post.
Time flies fast,  right?   Or just my laziness?

According to my last post,  I was waiting for response from city government whether I could get my job or not.
The result was ... I got my job!

So, I have worked as an assistant at elementary school for more than two years.
The first year, I helped a girl with an oxygen machine, but her heart and lung got worse
and hospitalized three months later.
She passed away just before her graduation day... So sad.

After she got hospitalized, I was put in the class which the teacher couldn't control her class.
She couldn't continue her job and quit the job...teacher.   I didn't know her because she was already mentally and physically worse and got absent soon after I was sent in.  We were together less than two weeks.   So sad to know that she was a new teacher just graduated from university.  She definitely thought she had got her dream job, a teacher, but she had to quit, gave up her would-be life time job.
Some teachers said that she had no talent to be a teacher and was lucky to know that in early stage.
IMO,  even though she couldn't manage her class because of her lack of teaching experience, she was young and had passion and high motivation to do the job.  With more understanding and support from fellow teachers and early intervention ,  I thought she could continue teaching still now.

try me

I found some want ads on city offece's news paper the other day, it says they are looking for assistant teachers and counselors for public schools.
I brought my resume two days ago to the city office to apply for one of the jobs.

I want to work related to young kid's education and think about that for a long time but I don't know I will be able to be one. Because they also say the official (teaching) license is needed when you teach in school as a general rule....

So bureaucracy.....!!

but I know there will be always exceptions, right?
I have experiences and passion. I hope they will try me.

Let's wait and see.....

Staying home

My younger daughter has got mumps since yesterday.

The doctor says she can't go to school three days or so.
She has to stay home through this weekend WITH ME... :-(

Her temperature is not so high and she can sit and eat.
Because of the vaccination she got 5 year ago, the symptoms are not so serious.

Thank god.
