An ode, to the dedications of the school teachers who are willing, to work in the distant region schools, to make sure that the children there are entitled to high-quality education just like the kids in the cities are receiving too, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
Back when I was a student in college, there was a dialogue class, taught by a young instructor. She’d just returned here from studying abroad, she was very youthful, and, loved by all of her students. She’d shared her experiences in learning and teaching with us. She’d told us, she once worked in a distant region middle school, but after a year of working there, she’d given up on the government assistance programs, and went abroad to study. “I’m ashamed to say, that I’m, a deserter of the education field. Because I wasn’t strong enough inside, I hope, that if you all start teaching after graduation, you won’t be like me.” She’d told us the students she’d met in the distant area schools.

Turns out, she had always been a studious, an outstanding student since she was young, raised in the cities, she’d never been to the countryside. Just gone on her dedication, and wanted to work in the distant region schools, and, in just one semester, she was tried, very hard, by all of her students’ problems. There were students who were from cross-generation families, single-parent households, those who had gotten pregnant and already had a kid too, some of these children were all very, “socialized”, and, she couldn’t steer them into the right directions of life, with absolutely NO teaching experience before that, in the end, being overwhelmed with the pressures and the stresses, she’d chosen, to vanish from the field of distant region education.
Looking at my classmate, she’d selected to work in a distant school in the east, and, the problems that my former college professor met, she had too, but she’d told me, “if you want to stay working in the distant regions, having the love and the dedication isn’t enough, as you’d come into contact with these children who are helpless, you must, also be strong, with that strength from the inside, carrying you through, perhaps, it’s, a faith, or, the heart that you refuse, to give up on any of the kids.”

I’m very impressed by my former classmate, she’d often said, that teachers are employees of society, not only an educator on the forum of knowledge, but also, someone who touched the hearts of students. Perhaps, the hardware the distant region schools had don’t measure up to the hardware of the schools in the cities, but, the most deprivation in these distant schools is in not having enough cultural stimulation. And, I hereby, raise a toast, to all of my peers who are willing to dedicate their lives, to working in the distant region schools, thanks to you guys, for helping these children, to acquire what it takes, to face their own futures.
So, this, is still, on how trying it was, to teach in those faraway, distant region schools, with the lack of resources, and the families of the students usually are not whole, which makes it harder, which is why a lot of the teachers threw in the towels, quickly enough, after they’d, signed on to work in these distant region schools, but, the children in these areas, are in need of the most help.
