God! i’m only 22 and it’s my first year as a teacher but i already feel that i’m so outdated! i mean the world around us has never seen changes this rapid, but the teaching styles have remained the same ever since the Soviet Union time in my country! and it really makes me sad that a lot of young teachers resort to these outmoded teaching styles simply because there is no base or institution whatsoever to show them there’s a whole new world to explore. in fact, numerous inspections lead by educators with strong conservative views only discourage striving specialists from learning new ways and instead promote the system implemented more than half a century ago.
is it just the post soviet states or do my overseas counterparts have the same issue as well?
i was arranging the stuff in my teacher’s closet the other day and i found a piece of pie that had been in there for a good 6 months!
the funny thing is that is still smelt so tempting!

once again a video by my youtube crush Esther, whose faith and sincerity make me feel ashamed of myself sometimes.
most of the people in my country are not sentimental at all, especially men. yet i have seen grown men cry. all of them were teachers…
i think one is the most beautiful when they are doing what they are cut out for.
the city can be really dangerous if you haven’t slept for a couple of days…
This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the China Earthquake.
After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.
With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.
He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “
The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.
The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s love for her child!!
