在北京谋生，当幼儿园教师是一个绝佳的选择。薪酬比大多数跟我同龄的办公室职员要高，而每周的工作时间却还要比他们少20小时。但是，你必须每天都早起，与孩子们一起玩。我不会撒谎说我“天天开心”，许多年轻的中国教师都这么说，我不会像他们那样做的。但是，我愿意去做能让孩子们开心的事情。对于一名教师而言，最大的快乐就是你的学生不仅接受你是他们的老师，而且非常喜欢你做他们的老师。
Teaching kindergarten is a wonderful way to make a living in Beijing. The pay is more than most professionals my age earn working in an office and I work less than 20 hours a week! However, it takes a special disposition to be able to get up early every morning and play with toddlers. I will not lie and say that I am "Tiantian kaixin" or happy everyday like many young Chinese teachers claim. I am, however, willing to do what it takes to keep the kids smiling. The greatest joy for a teacher is to have students who are not only willing but also very much pleased to have you as their teacher.
