Troubled kid.

I have this new student, and i think that she has no or just a little interest in learning. She is still in high school. She seems very smart and kind, but that problem maybe is not in her or me. It's about her interests. This is the very first time i encountered a student like her.

I have various types of students ages 10 until 50+. Most of my students are willing to learn and only a few looked like they were just forced to take the class. But i never had a student like her before. I'm Kinda' having some difficulties explaining things to a mind that is never open. She seems like something is bothering her. I wanted to ask her but we've just started our classes, so i think it's too early to ask private matters.

I' m just worried that her family or even the school might think that she is not learning at all. I know that i got all the patience in the world, but she just doesn't want to cooperate. Whenever i asked her questions, she just say "i don't know." or "I'm not sure" She always say that. I just after the Chinese new year i would be able to persuade her to focus on her lessons and study. Wish me luck guys (cross fingers)

"I am the star" trip

Yesterday, was a very fun day for me and my daughter. It was her Educational field trip and My daughter had so much fun. I'm happier whenever i see my children laughing and having so much fun.

A month before the said trip my daughter kept pushing me to pay the fee. I told her that the trip was still next month. She is just so excited, and couldn't wait to go to the Ocean Park. It was her first time to go there, and mine too hahaha!

My daughter is so silly. Last week, She told her teacher and all of her classmates that she can't come to the field trip. Her teacher felt bad about it, because they wanted all the students to come. It's not about the fee. It's about the experiences that classrooms can't give. My daughter's nanny immediately told me that her teacher was surprised when she pay the for the fee.

I asked her why did she tell her teacher and her classmates that she can't go. She told me "because i want them all to think that i will not come, So if I'll arrived on the day of the trip. They will be surprised and happy to see me at the last minute." Oh well, She just love to be the center of attraction.

My daughter just love it when she always get all the attention. She is the first grad daughter in both sides of the family, So she is like the princess of the family. But i always make sure that things aren't always like that. I don't want her to grow up knowing that she is always the star. Especially right now that she has a baby brother. I'm always trying to teach her to be a good responsible and loving big sister
