โTeaching Quran in Pekalongan feels like carrying a trust. The santri tradition here is strong, so parents truly value Quran teachers. Thank God my schedule is nearly full and I still arrange it myself.โ
โThe kindergarteners around Buaran are adorable, and watching them start to spell out letters makes my day feel meaningful. Since the students' homes are just a few alleys away, I can still head back to prepare meals for my family without rushing.โ
โAt first I hesitated because I had just graduated with no experience. It turned out there was training before I started teaching. Now many of my high school students are preparing for UTBK toward UNDIP and UNS, and I am glad to see them grow.โ
โNear the UIN Gus Dur campus there are many madrasah students who need extra Arabic. As an alumna, I feel my knowledge is genuinely put to use. I can withdraw my payment whenever I need it, and that helps the most.โ
