Clearly, if someone mentioned anything about either my student loan or my aunt, I would explode, not just piss off or become grumpy. That’s my it’s a taboo, a restricted area.

Remembered one of my goals for 2021 is to concentrate one my studies. The other side of this intention is to let go off the negative aspect of suck affair that my aunt did. However, it seems that she has other action recently. She would to become one of successors and guardians of my grandpa. My question is why does my grandpa need 5 guardians including my big uncle, who needs to be protected himself? I have no idea. I just think my aunt is protecting her own rights and would like to become my creditor.

Well, I am back to the mood of enjoying my studies after taking the fully online course. Calm down! Think about how I survived through the olds when I struggled in the U.S. Let the sunlight shed into your window and warm the empty mind.

As we discussed data collection methods for research, one of them is journaling. I’d like to say journaling is the way I keep record of my life and my teaching journey. Recently, I am in the spatial data group which we are collecting locations which add meanings to individuals and which leads them to become teachers. I think it is interesting. Since I published my paper in English Teacher Association-Rupublic of China (ETA-ROC) in 2009, I have had no time and opportunity to conduct any research. Therefore, I am glad that this time I learned different data collection methods and which redefined my interpretation of RESEARCH. Previously, I thought research should be rigorous with certain criteria and research procedure, but this time I learned that spatial orientation, journaling, and arts-based can be different forms of data collection. I am excited to see some revolution on research methods since it has been 12 years since I implemented research last time. There should be something new and innovative.

I got my booster COVID vaccine done last evening. My left arm looks swollen. I am bit tired today. Otherwise, everything is well. I am still working on my today’s to-do list as usual. I am weary, but I really have no idea what’s happening because it is just in the morning (It’s 8:15 am). Stay awake! There are still some on my plates!

Good morning!

I am still working on my studies and enjoying the learning journey. This afternoon, I am going to  get my booster does of COVID vaccine. Hope everything is well and under control. Yesterday, during the conversation, I was informed that the Chinese New Year is coming in 20 days. I was worried about my grandma’s health condition because she is still in ICU and I really do NOT want to meet my aunt who stole my student loan IN PERSON even SEEING HER FACE. I will definitely lose control and score at her. Since until now, when they offended me, I still wanna inform her company and the Finical Supervisory Commission to accuse her illegal actions of “borrowing money” without informing me. I still clearly remembered that on the Jan 1, I told myself the goals for the new year are pursuing my M.Ed. with teaching license and losing weight. Therefore, I try to CALM DOWN and focus on my studies.

I have been editing and proofreading resume for someone who would like to study abroad recently. I recognized that after 10+ years of time passed, my experience in education filed accumulated and keep growing. Then I finally get the tips and tricks/know-how of how to survive as a TEACHER. At least, I witnessed my progress from a student, a school secretary, to a classroom teacher. It is definitely NOT easy! When I took a look of my latest version of resume, I knew that I am IN education, and I have become an educator with working experience and teacher education; when I shared my experience with the young lady, I knew that these experiences are irreplaceable, valuable, and unforgettable.

I am on the half way of my learning journey to become a licensed teacher with dual masters in education field. I am thankful for everyone who has helped me during the process of pursuing my ultimate goal, a licensed teacher in an international school.
