Working On Weekend

People like weekend, but for me is not. Because I have to work on every Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I need to go to Alberta Chinese Academy to teach students who from Grade 1 to Grade 3 sing Chinese songs and school choir. On Sunday, I teach piano at home. After ten hours teaching, I have to finish my homework. So, last night when I went to bed, it was already 11:30pm. I am very busy on weekend, but when I was teaching piano to my students, I felt very happy. I have been teaching piano since 1999 after I graduated from university in China. I really love my job. I feel that I am a lucky person because before I moved in Calgary, my sister has been living here for 3 years. she has many friends. My first piano student is her friend's daughter. Right now I almost have 20 piano students. My students like me, and their parents trust me, so I have more passion to do my job although sometimes I feel so tired.

It sounds like you are a great teacher. Is that what you want to be one day full time? I think you'd make a great teacher!

It's wonderful when you can find a job that you enjoy, even if you are tired out from it.

I totally know what it feels like to really love your job, but be so tired from working. I work at the Zoo doing sleepover programs for kids. It takes a crazy amount of energy, but it's worth it.

Wow, I didn't know you were a piano teacher. I played the piano for ten years, but reading notes really isn't my favorite. Actually, I'm really bad at it, so I just play without notes.

When I was a child, I did not want to study piano. However, when I was in junior high school, some of my classmates learned piano and I was full of envy. But I thought I was too late to start playing piano,so I did not study. Now I know that I should not care the time problem if I love doing a thing. If there is a chance, I wish you could teach me a little bit.
