I’m almost done with my TESOL course. I only have one presentation left on Tuesday and I’d be done with the 5-month certificate course that took a lot of my time. As early as November, I’ve been receiving calls for job interviews. Two schools have actually hired me, despite my inexperience in teaching English. I really like both schools (and my classmates told me that they’re two of the best franchises) but “hagwon” schedule means going to work at 2PM and getting off at 10PM! The schedule is just impossible for me since I also have a toddler to take care of. One of the schools even told me that I could work part-time if I want, but the schedule they suggested is still until 8PM. There is a daycare center near our apartment that takes care of kids until 10PM but I thought that I wouldn’t really have quality time with my son on weekdays with that schedule.

I’d really like to go back to work but my son is still my priority. I wouldn’t be able to earn as much as I could but that’s fine. We can always earn the money later but time is something that you can never get back, right?
