About Pei-Hsuan Lin

An enthusiastic k-12 educator, a life-long learner, and a team player who loves to walk students through their learning journey.

Job hunting anxiety

Since my grades have been posted, I started hunting for jobs. I wanna base in Taichung. However, I really don’t want to move. I am familiar with the environment around here. I am okay with the current living standard. I think that it is convenient. However, the vacancies are in the North and the West parts of Taichung.

For some reasons, I really need a job in Taichung no matter the role is a Homeroom or subject teacher. I will use the long weekend holidays to explore the west and north part areas. The worst case is that I go back to Kaohsiung and hunt a job there.

If you read through my post, please put me in your prayer. I need positive vibes and good luck.

The satisfaction of a teacher

Now, Besides teaching P4 science, after the bureau visiting, I was often asked to sub classes. I taught P1 math, language, and SEL. I was asked to sub multiple homerooms and even teach P5 math which might be a challenge for me because I never taught higher-grade math and the class is tough.

On the contrary, I have positive relationships with students. They love to “stick on”me, such as sitting on my tights, holding my hands, and calling me happily. I really enjoy my current teacher-student relationships. My initial idea was to accompany kids to walk through part of their learning journey. That’s the reason I wanna become a licensed teacher.

By the way, we asked kids to use an adjective to describe every member of the class. When it comes to my turn, they said “Tr. Pei-Hsuan is caring and playful.” I am hilarious.

Now I understand

Fifteen years ago when I conducted the multimedia project, I had Grace work until 12 midnight. Until 8 years ago, I ate lunch with her, and someone told me “Grace 老師很疼你,你要記得!“ Now, I become a licensed teacher, and I understand.

Yesterday, I promised my students that if they behaved well, I will give them stickers as rewards. I got home around 9 pm due to the choir performance, and I went to 9X9 to get Pokemon stickers for them. I told them that I will try everything I can to help them. Now, I understand.

Currently, kids get familiar with me and they are close to me. They hold my hands, climb on me, and argue for getting my attention. I told them, ” 老師愛你們“ I love them! I do. Thus, I understand the way that Grace did to me. I appreciated all what she has done.

Busy but happy every day

I am subbing for many classes and taking care of P1. I am also busy for the bureau visiting. Because of this, I earned lots of experience and had lots of time getting along with P1 kids. I am busy every day, but I am happy : )
