The Passion to Learn

I have always enjoying learning. This is partly why I started working with kids at a young age. Starting in elementary school, I began volunteering at a church Sunday school, teaching toddlers and preschool kids. Since then, I have never been too far off from the realm of education.

It has been 23 years since the first time I began teaching, and I am still teaching, both as a professional and also a volunteer. Although I am no longer working at an actual school site, my home has also become a place for me to teach. My two adorable kids--a boy at 33 months and a girl at 7 months—are my students at home. I teach them on a daily basis, either through play or through projects. On the academic side, my son, in particular, is learning ABCs, phonics, numbers, counting, and tracing. He is also learning the very basic music theory, Chinese zhuyin and the Chinese language. While the academics are important, how one should behave properly is also equally, if not, more important; and so I also spend time on discipline by using words of encouragement and tough love.

But to be a better teacher also needs to have a desire for learning. My kids are my students, but I am their student as I learn how to provide the best education for them. This site is a blog of our learning development—the process and the accomplishment—and tips to education that hopes to express our passion to learn.
