Fear Can Hold You Prisoner, Hope Can Set You Free So little consequences can i bring to these children, but i never say no to trying. I tried, i failed, and i tried, and i failed......but i don`t want to stop trying. I am still wondering how to communicate with them since i must find a balance between being their teacher and their friend--- Not quite a teacher, not quite a friend. Neither too distant nor too close. Friends who know me well can understand my emotions and smiles. But these children can`t. Sometimes i smile not for the sake of happy moments. They have got terrible problem with pronouncing words and memorizing vocabulary. They are too like babies. They don`t like morning reading at all. Their lips seem to be hard-working, but actually their mind are not working simultaneously. Well, i must admit this indeed gives me a headache. I failed to motivate them. Actually I didn`t know how to. Or even incredible, when they are reading in the classroom, i don`t know where to stand. I just walk around the rows, which must disturb their concentration. Whenever i think of my happy adolescent time with morning reading, i feel pain now. They look like well-behaved children, who are not supposed to do wrong. They look like dilligent children, who are not supposed to do nothing. How come they only scored 20 points average last term? I am so afraid that i can not live up to their expectations. What should i do to make up what they have lost? What sense should i make for their lives? Until now, i have never complained anything to anybody. I simply let it go. But when i am stressful and depressed. I will have nightmares. I think i am a prisoner cuz I am too young to learn how to compromise the reality. The battle between my inner and the outside world turns out to build me a prison. JUST KEEP IT UP.

"The battle between my inner and the outside world turns out to build me a prison." Beautifully said. Unfortunately I have no advice. I was the worst teacher who ever lived. It is well that I stopped teaching =)

Well feeling for them and understanding that they have a problem is the first step...NOt many in this time take seriouse interest in others but you must draw a line between sympathy and empathy.You owe it to them and to ur self to be objective .Once you get too emotionally involved you strart making mistakes .Treat them like people because thats who they are but the difference is that they are a bit of a challange and hat in a way makes the dailly hum dum more interesting and brings out the best in you and you will be surprised to knwo how much you posess :o) you have a good and big heart but try having fun and discuss things out loud with friends and trusted people they might help out with ideas or just be a good way to vent off . Expectations hmmm!! dont expect anything and you will get everythign :) keep up your good work but dont turn a fun challange into a tragic ditch . Tink.
