After a long day, Zhang Tian finally got back to his small room, feeling tired. He had started working at seven in the morning and it was eight in the evening now. He had to prepare his lessons for the following day.
This is a typical day for Zhang Tian. Comingto Guizhou Province to teach has beenquite an experience for him.
Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher's certificate last year.
His parents, like most, hoped he would go to a big city to find a teaching job. Like wise, his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing. Zhang Tian felt differently, however.
He wanted to start anew lifestyle. He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his early school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most.
For that reason he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school. Bringing with him lots of books, clothes, and two pairs of trainers, Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart. He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.
However, not everything livedup to Zhang Tian's hopes. Theschool was much smaller thanhe had expected, with only three classrooms. In front of the classrooms, there wasa playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days.
Living inthe village was also more challenging than he had thought, The power and watersupplies were unstable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he hadto learn how to cook.
The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind, but hequickly gave up on the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.
The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only Englishteacher.
The other two local teachers were responsible for maths andChinese. To make school life healthier and livelier for his students, ZhangTian introduced more subjects to the school - music, art and PE.
lt is notsurprising that PE is the kids' favourite subject! Their school lives are nowmore attractive and interesting, and they enjoy playing football in theplayground, as well as singing songs theyve learnt.
The school is now full oflaughter and music. Zhang Tian is planning to organise the first-ever schoolconcert! Everyone is very excited.
Zhang Tian's first year is almost over. lt has been a tough year, but he has enjoyedworking with the children. What made him feel satisfied was that his studentswere able to read, speak and write in English, and they became more confident in learning.
Besides teaching, Zhang Tian also brought changes to the village. Hecontacted charity organisations about rebuilding the playground and setting upa library, and helped the villagers sell local products online.
The contributionhe made to the village was great, so he became very popular among thevillagers and they treated him as one of them. The village is like his secondhome now.
Although he had only intended to stay for one year, he now feelsready to stay for another year. He feels so happy that he followed his heartwhen choosing what to do with his life, even though it may not be what othersexpected of him.
