Teacher Testimonial

Teaching at Aston has been a wonderful experience . Chinese children are just so adorable and eager to learn that teaching has been really rewarding. This is not to say that i haven't had some "China moments". Coming in to land at the city i was teaching was scary, with thoughts like what am I going to do if there is no one here to meet me going through my head. Getting lost in hainan for five hours without a cell phone or money on me was another.

Describing the difficult times however is the easy thing the difficulty is describing all the warm and touching moments. The student who was not doing well and you manage to break through and watch them bloom.The hundreds and hundreds of people in restaurants and shopping centres that have walked up to me and in broken English managed to utter the words "welcome to China".

The little child who at the end of the Semester wrote a thoughtful note of thanks.The security guard who thoughtfully took the time to learn the words good morning and good afternoon........The list is endless. China and the warmth of the Chinese people will live with me forever.
