Supposed to be we won’t receive salary for the month of April because as our school states “no work, no pay”. Since last year , the manager gave as an opportunity to sign-up for 12-month salary with a condition: extra
job from 7:30-8:00 AM and from 4:00-4:30. All we need to do is to be punctual in going to school and help with the student’s spelling task: everyday they were assigned 3-5 English words…they spell them in front of us teachers then we’ll sign their spelling notebook if they got it all correctly. This task may sound easy but it’s a bit tedious once we signed up for it.
I fall short with this extra task but I see to it that I excel on my teaching job which is my main priority. The end result- a deduction of 3K to my April’s salary . I accepted it with a grateful heart because the salary I received is enough to help us survive this May. If not for this blessing, I don’t know where to get extra job just to finance this month. I don’t have structured settlement payments to sell nor rich friends where I could borrow money.
Hopefully this year, I could do my best in performing the extra task in order to avoid salary deductions. I don’t have regret in the past because I got late in doing my task because I’m taking care of my son who just started his preschool years.
