It had been only two weeks, but teaching at Ming Jheng turned out to be the most rewarding experience of my life. I not only 1 a deeper understanding about teaching, 2 experienced unimaginable cultural differences. I made some lifelong friends, and learned to be a more 3 individual.
Things were not all 4 at the beginning. Never having taught before, I still recall how 5 I was at the night before my first day of class. How would I keep the students 6 for six periods a day? How would they react to my teaching plans and activities? There were many other conditions and fears I had to 7. Having been forced into such a situation, I was taught by my fellow teachers a lot about being a more generous, considerate person.
Teaching at Ming Jheng turned out to be quite 8 from what I had expected. I was 9 by how respectful most of the students were. Some girls would 10 to me and offer me messages while 11 would share their precious candies with me. During the breaks, a group of second graders would gather around me and ask for hugs. Gradually, the third and fourth graders would 12 me by the hand and make me play with them in the playground. How nicely these kids treated me and appreciated me! All my 13 and exhaustion paid off in the end. Everything was worth it.
Now, as I 14 the past month, I can smile and say, that I've truly grown, mentally and socially. Thanks to the Overseas Compatriot Youth Volunteer Teaching English Program, it has taught me so many things I would 15 have learned in school.
