About Me

I am currently working as a certified ESL teacher at a private school in Wuxi, China. I have also taught Primary School, Middle School, and High school in Suzhou, China. I am now currently a High school Teacher in Wuxi, in the Jiangsu province. I am also tutoring older students who are planning to travel to English-speaking countries. Some of my older students that I am tutoring are preparing to take their entrance exam for various Universities. I also volunteer for our school’s summer camp program. It is something I enjoy doing and at the same time the students learn a great deal about the western culture. I also worked at the SMIC summer camp in Shanghai in July of 2010 and 2011. During the last nine years I have been a volunteer teacher for the iCity charitable organization in Suzhou, China. I also have been doing a lot of volunteer work to promote our School.

Hello March ……. 🦅

March is the first month of Spring which begins between March 19-21. In the Southern Hemisphere, March is the same as September in the Northern Hemisphere. Each year March and June end on the same day of the week. It is the time of year when animals start to wake up from hibernation.

The month of “March” is named for the Roman god of war, Mars, and this was the time of year to resume military campaigns interrupted by the cold of winter. Interestingly, March (or Martius) was the first month of the calendar year in the early Roman calendar.

In Celtic astrology, the third and fourth moon has an important place in March. The year's third month celebrates the northern hemisphere's famous spring equinox (March 21-22).

In addition, it is impossible to speak of the spiritual meaning of March without addressing this month's birthstone. It is aquamarine/heliotrope (also known as a bloodstone). Although very rare, it is easily recognizable by its dark green color and its red spots. Legend has it that warriors once wore it during their battles to calm their bleeding, ease their pain and heal their wounds.

May the upcoming spring fulfill all your desires and rejuvenate you in mind, body, and soul ……. 🦅
