Yuki Notes

I set off for work at 6:55 today. I’m not working hard recently. To make matters worse, I relied too much on my wife in childcare and housework. I'm a little depressed. So, I need time to organize my mind and exercise.

I'm getting used to going to work early.

At the begging of this fiscal year, I decided that I come to the office at Seven forty-five. In these past two weeks, my achievement ratio is 85.7%. Although it is somewhat less than perfect, not bad. I want to make a good habit carefully.

I have finished The EIKEN Test in Practical English Proficiency for the first time in my life. I don't know what the result will be.

The second chapter of my career as a teacher will start. There are three things I want to cherish. First, I come to the office at Seven forty-five. I want to work with time to spare. Second, have a mind “This is my school, they are my students”. I think that it is most simple and powerful way to make a excellent school. Third, I would like to try new teaching style. I want give opportunity of decent education in all kinds of ways.

I heard the notice of my job relocation next academic year. Although I was a little surprised, I'll look at the bright side. To tell the truth, commuting time got longer made me unhappy. My new workplace is relatively small campus. It’s probably a chance. I want to make a excellent school.

I took a promotion examination today. I think the result is terrible. They considered me not a team reader but only a worker. Although I am frustrated, probably their view is true. I couldn't speak about our school mission, the whole image, a specific number, hypothesis, and my achievements.

I have to break through my present state. I need not compare myself to others. But I should be able to become great player.  It depends on my efforts.

A state of emergency over the coronavirus has been declared on April 8. Our high school is located in Osaka prefecture, one of the three most important cities in Japan. Unfortunately, but as a matter of course, an entrance ceremony and opening ceremony was called off. For students, the school was shut down until early May. Honestly, I don't know when our school will be started yet. To make a chance for education, we were preoccupied with responses to that. In fact, I had some homeroom class sessions, using Zoom in this one week period. Although my class is made up of 30 students, all were not present. That is not something so simple for assorted reasons, for example, the internet environment, student's life habits, and other skills. To communicate with students, I'll work hard to do all I can do.

I want to make a school that protects student's life. The most important thing is to prevent the danger of life. I have to reduce the incident that students hurting someone, and hurt by someone seriously. I think it contains the trouble caused by natural disasters, personal relations, pubertal development and so on.

I started work at 6:30 and finished work at 18:15 today. Although I was little sleepy in the morning, a quiet school office was very comfortable for me. Moreover I was able to go to aikido practice at night. I want to make getting up early a habit little by little.

My New Year’s resolution is as follows. 【Health】 I practice aikido 6 times a month. I want to become 2nd-dan in 2022. To make my body fat percentage below 20%, I jog once a week. 【Work】 I get a teaching certificate in English and Bachelor of Education by March 2021. And, I want to pass 2nd grade of the English proficiency test by March 2021. I study English at least 15 minutes on weekdays and write a journal about once a week. Become an expert in educational guidance and social studies. Write a blog about my awareness once a week. I want to be able to work of developing  human resources in my 40. 【Private】 I do housework for a comfortable married life. We never try too hard at housework, because of dual‐career couple. I vacuum two or three times a week and meal prep on the weekend. We will discuss whether want children or not. If we want, we have to receive infertility treatment. I want know each other's values  and b...

This year have brought me a lot of changes. There are five things. I became a regular employee from April. I took charge of class for the first time in two years. I passed an examination of fundamental teaching skills at my workplace. I got married and began new life. I got black belt of aikido in August. I think I got the foundation of happy life. I am willing to commit to our school for a long time.

The small comment by my student hurt me. I felt distinct malice. I think educator must be open-minded. But practically, it’s difficult to respect everyone. I can’t deal with selfishness. I don’t know if I’ll be good teacher for all students, but I want to respond to someone who need assistance carefully.

I am ashamed to say, I did poor attitude to student’s guardian on the phone. It was like a complaint handling. Although I should not got emotional, I couldn’t suppress irritation. I’m not good at communicate with person who have aggressive personality. I want to exercise and I’ll sleep early today.

I think students don't like me is  I’m not good at English. It is understandable because my students seek improve English skills. But more important reason may be that I'm not communicative person. I have to change myself little by little.

In 2016, I was a homeroom teacher for 1st year students. Although it was a worthwhile job, I experienced divorce in summer of the year. My private life was full of misery. Three years later, I became a first grade teacher again. Different from previous me is what I am thinking about marriage life with my partner. Keeping myself busy, I am positive for the future.

Nowadays, I’m excited about opportunity to reconsider my teaching job. Knowledge of the carrier education,  developmental psychology and learning English make me aware of something new. And  I am happy to have a reassuring colleague.

I don't like trip that much. I never want to be the leisure class. Even though I’m suffering, I like current job.
