Missing Them

I have been working in GNA for 1 year. I can still remember my  first day here, that was last April 16, 2012.  I had 8 students then. My schedule was from 8pm-12 mn. I was so nervous.I cannot even say my name and my opening spiel properly. I don't know what to do and I messed up a lot.  I've met many Japanese people. After being able to get  my confidence back, I realized my students were really nice. I teach them English  and they appreciate every single detail of it. They really know how to say thank you for teaching them simple to complex information about English. I feel so happy to be appreciated. I also feel like the most beautiful girl in the world whenever they say, I like your smile, your eyes, and especially your teaching. I feel so elated to be valued by these people knowing that the only thing that connects us is Skype.

After a year, I made one of the greatest decisions in my life and that is to become an ENC teacher. I know this will gain me new experiences. I believe it will teach me new things. However, I have to say good bye to my GNA students/friends. I know I'm not the best. I'm not perfect, I sometimes fail too. I just feel so blessed because despite my incompetence they still reserve a lesson on my time slot. They still listen to my endless rants and about my whatever opinions. I honestly miss them and I feel so glad to receive messages from them congratulating me about my success of entering ENC.

I know ENC  is another challenging journey, but I will never ever forget the things I've learned in GNA. The cool students I've met there. And most especially, the friendship that I've found from my loyal students.

I really hate goodbyes! But for sure I will meet them soon. As of now my experience in GNA will be one of the best and sweetest memories in my life.
