Positive energy (3rd of August)

Rarely go to my student's house 20 minutes prior to the actual tutoring time, but I did today. I told Jenny about those two schools I found for her son, the public one and the Catholic one. She asked me which one is better. Honestly for primary schools, no standards are given. The only thing I said to her was it really depends on what she wants the school to be like because the public school will offer a speaking program as well as teaching one language out of the five apart from English in order for students to develop their multilingual ability, whereas the Catholic school is for all those students who have ethnic background apparently...

Anyways, the first one hour has always been fine. Everything was under control. He did what I asked him to do. No interjection, lots of nodding, seemed like some pretty good signs of a kid's good behaviour for the day. During that 10 minute break, I was asked to draw his face, and he drew back mine. Then I was fully ready to take the challenge of the second hour. All I was thinking of was to get him concerntrate. To sustain his attention span in the second hour is not easy. Just like he started moving a lot in the first 15 minutes after the break. I didn't want to force him to do this and that this time. After two exercises he reluctantly finished, I had a short talk with him about tutoring. To make him feel how everyone has the same hatred towards tutoring yet they still have to do it, I think I was being like a mum teaching my child something more to think of based on a complete different perspective...And it worked fine after the talk, he continued to (at least) think before doing the questions...

Oh and I asked Gwinny more about the internship that I am ready to take. I was told that the minimum of working hour for each day is 4. lol...I found out that I had to make some changes as well for that...On my way home, I indulged myself into a dream of picturing my future life with music playing loudly. I really don't think I've tried hard enough to strive for my goal. The articles I've read from wechat have inspired me quite a bit. Who's that genius having this collection of all the good quotes? I should really thank him/her for that...It really has given me some positive energies in need, and more importantly is to learn the attitude of being a true adventurer throughout the whole journey...Don't forget to take care of your health too...
