As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guangxi. On
my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart
sank when I arrived there. It was out of what I expected. It didn’t look like a school at all! The
school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6.
And the third one was for me.
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told
them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out
their levels. To my surprise, though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed, yet
they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.
I was busy preparing lessons and reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely
and hard-working children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have
also learned a lot from them. I understand their life more, and we are now good friends.
I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I’ m very happy, and the experience has been very useful to me. I love the small village and the children. In fact, I would like to go on working here.
