我曾是個全職家庭主婦，後來我做了個決定

「我曾是個全職家庭主婦，很少跟外界往來。我這人挺害羞的，後來有一年，本地一個學校問我能不能志願教孩子們美術，每天只要一小時。結果我教得特別好，第二年他們就說讓我全職教。我老公不想讓我去，他說：『你之前跟我跟我說只教一個小時的。』但我對他說：『我聽你的聽了25年，現在輪到我自己做主了。』

這一教，我就教了15年。我的口碑特別好，還有孩子從別的學校專門跑來上我的課。我退休時，學校還為我辦了派隊，孩子們又唱歌又跳舞的，讓我覺得我自己很特別。

教書是我做過的最好的決定，現在我覺得自己真是做了件積極的事。」

「I was a full time housewife. I kept mostly to myself. I was a very shy person. Then one year a local school asked if I could volunteer to teach art to the children. Just one hour every day. I did such a good job that the next year they asked me to teach full time. My husband didn』t want me to do it. He said: 『You told me it would just be one hour.」 But I told him: 『I listened to you for twenty-five years, now it』s my turn to take the reins.』

I ended up teaching for fifteen years. I built such a good reputation that children came from other schools to join my class. The whole school threw a party when I retired. The children sang songs and danced. It just made me feel so special.

Teaching was the best decision I ever made. Now I feel like I』ve done something positive with my life.」
