โMany of my students are children of oil-field workers who want to study engineering. Watching them finally pass the UTBK into campuses in Palembang is a satisfaction nothing can replace. And I get to teach without ever leaving my hometown.โ
โAfter every maghrib, my porch fills with children sounding out verses. People in Patih Galung hold reciters in great respect, so new students keep arriving through neighbors' stories. The tiredness of teaching is repaid by a calm that fills the chest.โ
โI focus on conversation practice for junior and senior high students. At first they were shy to speak English, now they even dare to present in class. Living in Cambai, I only need to make short trips nearby to meet my students.โ
โGuiding toddlers as they meet their first letters and numbers always makes me smile. I set the teaching hours during my own child's afternoon nap, so both run side by side without having to choose one over the other.โ
