tragedy

Hello, there.

I haven’t told y’all what I’ve been up to all this while. So uhh I’ve been working as an Admin Clerk at a tuition school and also a part-time Tutor there so I’d get some income on the side.

TBH, I just wanna talk about my tutor job here because it’s the more interesting one out of the two. Plus, you guys could probably figure out what I do for the first job.

Alright. Where do I begin? I took up the teaching gig in July. (Yup, let’s just say that’s a good head start lol) At first, it was supposed to be a one-time stint as a substitute tutor for an English Year 6 class in the first week of that month. Their teacher cancelled so I stepped up to the plate and went for it. I mean, it’s English - one of my favourite subjects - and it’s primary school level which makes it all the more convenient for me. I taught the class and everything went fine - sort of. Well, it can be hard to tame kids but nothing out of the ordinary. Oh wait, no, there was this boy who talked in falsetto for reasons I don’t know. (NANI TF?? CREEPY!) Right, other than that, it was a normal lesson with noisy kids.

A few days later, news came that their teacher decided to quit due to personal reasons. Two of the tuition school’s tutors and I happened to just talk about it shortly after we found out. I was actually just saying casually that I was willing to fill in as a teacher temporarily while the school searched for an actual replacement. Yet, somehow the conversation gradually steered its way towards my taking the job up completely. My correspondents in the conversation were pretty good at convincing me to do so. However, I still didn’t have the courage to directly approach the higher-ups regarding the matter. HAHAH. Hence, I thought nahh maybe I’m not gonna do it after all. That’s what I thought until I got a text from the school’s Supervisor (dunno what’s her actual position but I was told it’s that. I would’ve called it something else but who am I to do so? haha.) offering me the teaching position. Apparently, she asked one of the two tutors I spoke with last time to be the replacement but the tutor turned it down and actually insisted that I take it instead. LOL. Funny, he did tell me a couple of times he already told the higher-ranking staff about my interest in the teaching position but I didn’t think they would comply with him. In the end, I said yes and that was how I got the job.

Okay, I think I will end my story here for now. I intended on writing about my students but I feel like this is too long already so I might put up a part two soon (I HOPE).
