Native Voluntary Teacher








Me           :See the picture above to answer this question:
Which one is the native teacher?
You         :Geez, that's a perfectly easy question. The ans…
Me           :Incorrect! If that’s easy, why are you still making mistake on it? The answer is not a perfectly bla blab la but the top right and bottom left picture.
You         : ZZZzzzz

Okay so let me explain this new voluntary teacher, her name Is Laura Verena de Guevara. Though, by talking to her, I feel that she seems to be ignoring the ‘Verena’ name; besides, her name on facebook is without the “Verena” too.
She has father, mother, one older brother, one best best friend, and one boyfriend.
This nice person is from Germany. Why did I say nice?
1.     Polite
In my imagination, people from the West Country love to use bikini or stuff like that and they also love to insult so much. Laura at least understands that she is in Indonesia and she keeps her clothes tidy and not sexy. Insulting is just something like, “Aww, that sucks!” or”Damn!” but not in angry condition at all.
2.     Doesn’t ask much
Some people can’t adapt well and want the stuff that they usually with. However, this so called 20-year-old girl is different. She adapts with the facilities that my family prepares and doesn’t ask much stuff; which is definitely a great help for us.

Oh, wait. Don’t tell me you still don’t get the hang of these?
Oh dear! How can I say so much about her? Its because she is staying with my family.
And its for free,just for 4 months.
She teaches us (students of Krista Mitra Junior and Senior High School) without we need to pay anything to her, but we must prepare the things she needs for her daily life.  That’s what so called voluntary life in Germany.
Well, it’s my consequence at the first time when I said to the teacher that I’m willing to take care of her as part of our family. However,:
1.       We have some problems with the electricity in our house. The electricity can’t really handle 3 air conditioners (AC) at the same time. The users of the AC are my parents, Laura, and me.
Since she wants a separate room, it means more electricity needed. And yeah, each night, either my parents or I must turn off the AC in our room in order to keep the electricity on.
----I admit that it must be hard for her to adapt in such a hot country compared to her country, but I’m also need AC at least D: It’s pretty annoying to study in a hot condition.
But I said it once more that this is my responsibility of my words. I must not complaint in any matter. =)

After all, comparing everything, we still always have much more better things than the worst one. So why do we just focus on the bad one?
