Before the pandemic happened, I was already home. I was out of high school for a few years and waiting to get admission to the university, so it was nothing worrisome to me to have to stay back. I only bothered about having to share the same space all through the day with others, who usually went out to work daily. I was used to my quiet, undisturbed way of living. But I found a way to adjust, though.
Writing was a companion. Always has been very dominant. However, during the lockdown I realized just how much of grace I had in the area of teaching. I used to teach once a while back in the dayl(my mates and younger kids) but that covid period revealed how passionate I was at it although I relegated it to the back due to how poorly it was regarded(I hope you get this). I'd call it a big flex.
Currently in university, I've received compliments on my teaching style. A colleague says she enjoys how I explain to her like she was three years old. Another says whenever I explain in pidgin English, it sinks in faster and sticks. That period took a little from my solutide but it opened my eyes to realizations.
The pandemic had us in a tight corner but even then, if we think about it, lots of good things have come to be.
As for the economy, we'll adapt. We always have.
You know, they say that if you can't teach something well, you probably don't know it well enough. That is, there's a good level hardwork and diligence you put in to learn something, so your passion to teach flows...effortlessly. Have you ever considered starting a school and making big someday?
Frankly, I have not given a thought to owning a school. Vaguely though, I've imagined what it'll be like to own an establishment for young children. Not exactly sure what I want to do with it, but I guess it would border between academic and extracurricular activity(not any of the regular stuff we're used to doing). But more on the latter.
You must be great with kids to love them this much to want to do something for them. I imagine your zeal will spark something different and special. Regular stuff is old and boring, you know.
