being me..

Day after day we experienced here in Gothenburg such a cold weather. This is too much now and not normal as it should be every year. This time is totally a real winter that come. It's been snowing the whole day today and I took some video and try to download it tomorrow.

Schools here nation wide have the entire weekend brake,teachers are free from work for 1 week. Month of February has such a special for the school children. Holiday from school means a lot to them and have their time to play sports. Teachers were totally off duty. The whole weekend called as "sports holiday"for children. Sometimes I missed myself being in school(as teacher) but as I wrote before it is not easy to be a teacher here.

I was planning to continue my degree here and teaching kids. My educational background is not the problem but it's the children's world that I doubt about. Teachers in Philippines got more respect and been honored. Teacher here requires a lot of patience and not called as "Ma'am"or Sir. These words does not exist in school aside from calling each name. It doesn't matter if she or he is older than you. It's important to say the person's real name and that's it. I accept that "ma'am and sir" does not exist! for me the sense of honour is much more important.

If you came from another country and live abroad you may understand what I try to say. It's just hard to compare things sometimes.

The price of standard of living vary from country to country. It's nice living abroad but you need to accept that there are impossible for all the historic events.

Now I love my new job! but I have still the nature (as teacher) inside me and I always keep it. I am proud that once upon a time I was a teacher.
