Diary on 15th Dec

I worked as a substitute teacher in a Japanese school today. The school is for Japanese children living here for a temporary period. It only offers classes on Saturday’s, and their aim is to keep up the education in Japan. The students are varied from nursery school to 2nd grade at secondary school.

I got this position through my friend who is working there as a regular teacher for 3rd grade at primary school. I took over her class and taught Japanese and mathematics. The class has only has 5 kids. All of them are so energetic, so I sometimes struggled to take control. By the time I finished, I felt tired. The kids took almost all of my energy!

After work, I had dinner with my friends at a BBQ restaurant. We got together because one of us, who is also Japanese, is going back to Japan tomorrow. The first time I met her was in my language school. Since then, we sometimes hang out and travel together. I'm always impressed by her personality. She is an outgoing and open-minded person who doesn't hesitate to go somewhere or go to join some events.

At the last moment of our meeting, she gave me little cupcakes for my birthday. I was surprised she remembered my birthday is coming up.I was so happy!

It is always sad to say goodbye to someone, but I hope I can meet her again in Japan or maybe in other countries!
