I'm at home
From 7.00pm to 8.30pm, I'm not supposed to be at home. I'm not glad to say this... I am at home. I was SUPPOSED to be out for tuition.My tuition kid sacked me even before I could get to even see his face.I was in school preparing for some camp stuffs in the afternoon and left school around 5pm for the tuition-that-never-come-true.Just as I was on the train, I suddenly remembered that I need to bring my certs along for first session as it is the agency's policy.6.10pm:I was waiting for bus to rush home to get the certs. I already made up my mind to cab down to the tutee's place at Simei after retrieving the certs. I even wanted to cab home to get my certs. 6.15pm:I was still waiting for bus. I called the tutee's dad and hoped that he wouldn't mind viewing the certs on second session. Call was engaged.6:16pm:Bus 3 came. Whatever... Just board. I wasn't in my right mind to board the bus, when I should be flagging for cab to the tutee's house. My phone rang. It wasn't the tutee's dad. It was my agent. She called to inform me that the tutee's dad just called her to cancel the tuition assignment. The tutee decided to drop out from school; hence, tutor is no longer required. So the engaged call was for me in the end.Do I need to say how much I wanted this assignment??I really really really want to teach.I really want to get back to Teacher Aide. I miss the class. I miss their practical lessons.I really want to try tutoring. Not just for the sake of money; it's also for my future. Is teaching a career for me? I hate to study without knowing for what I'm studying.I really want to tutor this tutee. My referral has not replied me at all.. One tutee less. Left with this tutee. I really thought I could at least have one tutee.sigh......Afterall, it might not be bad.Afterall, it hurts the tutee's dad more. How hurt is that man feeling right now? Struggling with his son to get him back to the books. Struggling with the thoughts to let him drop out or to stay in school. He must have went through a lot in trying to get a tutor and persuading his son to study.Afterall, the agent has been very helpful and apologetic. She promised for a new assignment. Afterall, I boarded Bus 3 to home and not a cab to the tutee's house. Afterall, I'm at home with my parents =)
