Just a heads-up, people! As of Oct. 21st, 2021, I am full vaccinated with 2 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. That means, in about 2 weeks time, I will be more than ready to work beyond the borders of my daily confines and tutoring locations. This is exciting news! Many people feel trapped during the summer and we are lucky to have such great medical healthcare workforce holding the frontlines for us. My mood has significantly changed after the 2nd dose. I was so happy to get the vaccine, the side effects did not exactly "bother" me at all. Going out to teach has made me more productive as well. It is safe to say that online teaching, while interesting and amusing at first, can not replace face-to-face instructing and mentoring. Teachers can not effectively teach when student-teacher relationship, like any human relationship, requires more than just audiovisual information. Human relationships require us to have the real-life connection to happen. For now, it is just healthy vigilance and face mask in crowded areas while we wait for the oral pill(s) to counter the COVID-19. Hopefully something like the Tamiflu pill which, when taken diligently for 7 days, will kill off the influence A and B virus infection. They say miracles don't happen that often. The "miracles" that do, most of the time were an outcome of hard work and patience. That's what happened in Taiwan. Thank you Taiwan, and I hope to contribute more soon.
