Okay, soit's anotherday, I'm sobusytothepointwhere I justcannotgetanythingdone, like I cannot, mentalhealthandworkisreallike, it's neverfeltthisoverworkedinmywholeentirelife, but I knowthatit's gonnagetbetterin a couplemonthsbecause I'llbeleavingand I'llhavelike, I'llbeabletofocusonthatonejob.
でも、あと2ヶ月もすれば、退職して1つの仕事に集中できるようになるので、きっと良くなると思います。
So I justreallywantedtoquicklytalkaboutforlike 10 minutesaboutmyteachingjourneyandwhere I'm atnowwitheverythingandhow I feltaboutTeachingthroughoutmywholeentire 20s.
Sosomeofyouguysmayknow, I studiededucationincollege, that I wasintheeducationprogram, I studiedsecondaryeducation, whichismostlyjuniorhighschoolinhighschool, but I reallylovedworkingwithkids, soallofitwasreallygreat.
I wasaninternfor a Japaneseteacher, so I wasteachinghighschoolkids, japaneseandthen I wasteachingslstudents, studentsfromallovertheworldanditwasreally, reallyinterestingthewholeexperiencewhen I wasintheStatesandthen I movedtoJapanforthepurposeofteaching.
So I feellikeotherpeoplethatcometoJapanjustget a teachingjobbecausetheyfeelliketheyhaveto, itmightbe a littlebitmoredifficultof a transitionthansomebodythatreallylovesteachingandeducation.
But I'm gonnasaythisthatwhenyouteachinJapanthereisnoresusuallythere's noraisesattheendoftheyear, there's rarelyanybonuses, there's rarelyanybenefitsandthingslikethat, whichisanissue I don't knowaboutintheStates, but I knowthatintheStatesit's verydifficultthatjob, it's lowpaying.
I teachfromagedzero, likebabymommy's, youdon't teachthebabies, youteachthemothershowtospeakenglishtotheirbabiesAnd I teachallthewayupuntillike 13 yearsold.
So I'vebeendoingthisjobforsixyearsand I stayedatthiscompanyforthatlongbecause I liked, youknowthewaytheytaught, I liketheirmethodandeverythinglikethat.
I had a goodamountofholidayswhich I loved, itmadeusfeelmentallystablethroughoutthejobbecausewhenyou'reteachingkids, it's a hardjob, butnot, mostcompaniesdon't understandsometimeshowtaxingitison a teacherandtheirbodiesandtheirmindandyouknow, youalwaysalwaysinanycompanyrunintopeoplethatjustdon't getitnowthatmyhealthhasdeclinedsomuch.
I can't physicallydoitanymorerightnowbecauseofmyhealth.
今は体調の関係で物理的にできなくなっています。
Sothisis a gooddecisiontomakeitallispreferencewhenitcomestoteachinginJapan.
これは、日本で教えることを考えると、すべてが好みであると判断していいのではないでしょうか。
Somepeoplecomehere, theyexpectedtobe a certainwayandthentheydon't likeitortheycomplainlikecrazy, it's a hardjobifyou'regoingintoteachingkids, it's a hardjobandwhenyou'reteachingadultsit's a littlebiteasier.
But I don't wanttoteachadultsbecause a lotofas a woman, I'm goingtoberealaboutthis.
しかし、私が大人に教えたいと思わないのは、女性として多くのことを本音で話してしまうからです。
Like I don't feelsafeteachingadults, especiallyadultmen.
大人、特に大人の男性に教えるのは安心できないような。
Myfriendshavegonethroughsomanytraumatizingproblemswiththatbecause a lotofmenjustthinkit's a dateandthat's theissuewithteachingadultsforme, I'd ratherjustteachwomenandkids, that's mypreferenceandthat's what I feelcomfortabledoing.
I feellikekidsarejustmorefunandkidsarefunnyandtheymakeyoulaughandtheymakeyoufeellovedandthey'rejustsoinnocentand I, I justwantedtokeepatit, butitisveryexhaustingandmentallyandphysicallyexhaustingand I justneedtostopfor a while.
SowhenyoucometoJapanandyouteach, youhavetocomeintothatmindsetlikeisthiswhat I'm gonnabedoingfortherestofmylifeoristhissomethingthat I wantto, youknow, dofor a whileandthenchangetosomethingelse?
Thewholeexperienceinteachingiscompletelydifferentandthere's a lotofthingsthatarewrongintheeducationworldandthere's a lotofthingsthatarerightintheeducationworldinJapan, I'lltalkaboutthatinanothervideo, butpublicschoolsareverydifferentcomparedtojustlike a kiowa, whichisbasicallyschoolsspecificallyforenglish, whereveryouare, you'regoingtohave a verydifferentexperience.
I thinkthere's a lotofthingsthatneedtobechangedandupdated, but I lovedworkinginthepublicschoolsbecauseyou'vegottoexperiencewhatthekidsdoon a dailybasis.
It's justveryinspiringandtheyworkveryhardandyouhavetogointoitwith a positivemindsetandjustnotcomplainbecausethisiswhatyouwanted, hewantedtobeinJapanandyou'reteaching.
彼らはとても熱心に働いています。あなたは前向きな気持ちで仕事に臨まなければなりません。
Sothisisyourjob, youhavetojustgointoitwithoutbeingnegativebecausethenyou'regoingtohave a miserable, miserabletimeandthat's all I'm goingtosay.
これはあなたの仕事ですから、ネガティブにならずに突っ込んでいかなければなりません。
There's a lotthat's goingon.
いろいろなことがありますね。
I stillhavetochangemyVisa.
やはり、VISAを変更しなければなりません。
I'm doingtaxesrightnow.
今、税金の計算をしています。
I'm workinglikethreejobs.
私は3つの仕事をしているようなものです。
It's very, veryhard.
とても、とても難しいことです。
But I'm excitedaboutitbecause I knowthatintheendit's allgonnabeworthitbytheendofMarch.
でも、最終的には3月末までにはすべてが報われると思っているので、ワクワクしています。
I'llbein a comfortableplaceand I'llbehealingmore.
心地よい場所にいて、もっと癒されたいと思います。
