(A/N: Please play this song while you're reading, thank you) I took a deep breath and shrugged myself out of all the negative thoughts.
Well, finally I'm outside the gate of the school where I surely make great moments with.
I was walking in the hallway of the school when suddenly a little girl bumped into me.
"Annyeonghaseyo, Are you perhaps lost?"
"Ne, Unnie" She said with teary eyes.
"Oh, no please don't cry. I'll help you" I said flashing here my sweetest smile.
"Gomawo, Unnie" she said and held tightly on my hand.
We went straight to the principal's office.
"Ms. Young, Hi there, Welcome" said the principal.
"Oh, Gomawo. Uhm, Sorry but this little girl seem to have lost her way to her classroom."
" Oh, really? We have here Mr. Park to take care of her." she said. "Let me first introduce you to the faculty and tour you around."
"That would be nice, Thank you Mrs.Jeon."
*Time skip*
"Here's your schedule Ms. Young and you may start this afternoon, for now let's have a lunch with the whole faculty."
"Sure Mrs. Jeon, Thank you so much for welcoming me here in your school and for hiring me as well. Thank you for believing in my capabilities even if I'm too young to teach preschoolers." I said bowing, as a sign of respect. "Jeongmal, gomawopta."
"I believe in you Ms. Young, I know that you can be a good english teacher here in our school and will contribute a lot in the school.

I searched for the room where I will be assigned and found the girl earlier sitting on the bench being bullied by some of her classmates.
"Hi there, What's going on here?" I said softly, being extra careful for the girl not to be afraid of me. "You shouldn't do that,
that's not very nice, how about if you apologize to her and promise to never do it again, Is that a deal?"
"Ne, Teacher. Mianhae Teacher, Mianhae Hye-jin"
"Good girl. Did you have your lunch already Hyejin and Boram?"
"Eopsoyo, seonsangnim"
"Oh, Arrasso let's go now to the canteen."

After accommodating the children to the canteen I went back to my business which is finding my room. It took me a few minutes to find my room since the school was a bit wide from what I'm expecting, This is undoubtedly an International School.

I was amazed when I first saw my room. I can't believe it, this is so cute. I can definitely see myself teach her for a long period of time. I can't help but admire each stuffs in the room from the toys, books to the visual aids and generally the atmosphere.
The bell rang and heard giggles coming from the door, revealing cute little pre-schoolers. They were smiling at me as if I've been their teacher for a long period of time.
"Annyeonhaseyo Songsaengnim" they said in unison.
"Annyeonhaseyo, I'm your new teacher. My name is Teacher Dovie and I hope you'll all be good girls and good boys in the class, Arajji?"
"Ne, Songsaengnim"
I started teaching by singing routine songs for pre-schoolers and noticed that the little girl from before is also in my class, smiling sweetly at me.
After singing songs and translating fee korean words in English I let them draw their families. I checked each of their work that Hyejin's work is somewhat different.
"Hi Hye-jin, what have you drawn? Van you explain it to teacher Dovie?"
"This is my Mom and My Dad and the person standing here in the stage is my uncle and his friends which is also my family"
"Oh, nice. Why are they holding microphones? Are they singers?"
"Ne, my uncle and his friends are singers and kind. My dad said they are very famous so whenever uncle take me to school he always wear masks."
"Oh, I'd like to meet them someday Hye Jin-ah"
"Ne, teacher."
The bell rang and the children all got their back packs and said goodbye to me and to their classmates and head on to their parents waiting outside.
I noticed Hye-jin talking to someone on the phone feeling a bit down.
I gathered all my stuffs and went to Hye-jin, thinking that maybe I should just take her home.
"Uncle, when are you picking me up? Ne, I will just wait for you here uncle"
"Hi Hye-jin maybe we should wait outside for your uncle then cause teacher is going to lock the door now. Don't worry teacher will accompany you outside, in the swing" I said giving her a reassuring smile.
