And then I got even more excited when I got home and saw Hongki on teevee. Whee~

Anyway, because I have a date with F.T Island and Faizah this Saturday, I went for my Japanese class today.

Then in class, this lady asked me what I was doing in school. So I told her. And when she figured that I would be a teacher after I graduate, get this, she laughed her ass off. She laughed in my face for close to freaking ten seconds. Without an ounce of sensitivity and with tonnes of ignorance, that was the reaction she chose to display right in front of my eyes.

Well, fuck you, lady.
And no thanks, I do not need your so-called empathy.

I have SO have had it with remarks and reactions like these.
I have been keeping very quiet about this but I think it's time people realise that there ARE people who aspire to be teachers.
There ARE souls who are in it not just cos they have no other choice.

I, for one, have always wanted to be a teacher.
That was my plan in life. I have got some experience, so don't tell me that I don't know what I'm in for.
I'm sorry if you think that people like me don't exist.
I'm sorry if you get amused or disturbed that teaching is THE willing choice some people take in life.

I have had enough of people telling me in my face that NIE is a dumping ground of sorts. You tell me that, full well knowing that I'm slogging my ass in there. That tells me just how much respect you have for me; and how bloody ignorant and assuming you are.
I have had enough of how small and stupid people make me feel for wanting to be a teacher.

It's amazing how no one sniggers, laughs and smirks at any profession except for teaching.

I do not ask for people to change what they think about teachers and teaching; it's almost impossible unless you try teaching for yourself.
But what I ask for is to keep your insulting remarks, complaints and whatnots to yourself or to other like-minded people.
Stop being fucking ignorant of the feelings of others and be so comfortable with it.

I wonder who were the people who characterised teaching as a noble profession. I wanna go to where they are.
