An important event or period in my life
The most important event or period in my life is just Now here in America. Why is this period important in my life? I think two things as the reason.
First, this period of time will make me more independent. I’m here without my husband but with my two kids who are 5 and 8. As soon as I arrived in America almost a month ago, my challenging and hard time started. First, I had to set up by myself without a car. I was so accustomed to go around with my car in Korea, it was very inconvenient to move without a car, especially in this huge country. Buying things that I need in new life is one thing but using them is another thing. I mean, I can buy things what I need but I need somebody to help me to use them like assembling parts into a complete whole, replacing bulb, fixing shower and so on. All of them are very small and trivial things but my life became terrible without them. In Korea, my husband did those small things without even asking me as well as carrying heavy things. He exactly knew that what things we needed, when we needed them and how to set up them, too. But the small and trivial things seemed to occupy my whole life in America. I found that I was so dependent on my husband. I felt that I was very useless and weak. However, I had to be less weak than before because of my two children. As a mother, I need to get stronger. Now I manage to live new life without husband even though I still need somebody to help me. Maybe this period of time will make me more independent and less weak and when I go back to Korea, I’ll be able to help my husband as he did.
Second, I hope my English will be improved through this hard time. I always wanted to be a good English speaker as well as a good English teacher. However, during teaching English in Korea, there was a limit to my English ability. In the past, I had lived in America more than 2 years but during that time, my jobs were taking care of my kids and supporting my husband and I couldn’t even dream of studying English. Now, I’m here again and my aim is to improve my English and learn technique or skills in American elementary school. I am here for myself. I want to be selfish this time. With the experience of teaching English here, I want to be a real professional teacher and have more confidence in teaching English. These days I couldn’t sleep much because there have been many assignments and I have to do them after my kids go to bed. However, sometimes I feel happy in the middle of the night doing homework. Why? Even though I cannot travel to New York like other teachers who are alone here and I am busy with helping my kids, but , at night, I feel that this moment is just for me and just for my development and I feel that this moment is very precious. I’ve never studied this hard ever before. At present, it is the hardest time but someday I hope it will be one of my best memory in my life.
