I get lots of support from my friends, and I want to thank John too for telling me that I will get through Korean irrationality and unpredictability and will be able to find those few souls not so lost as others so they are able to recognise the light I am shining on their xenophobic heads. Those rare people will be able to trust me enough to give their kids into the hands of foreign educators like me and my husband. I appreciate the support and love my friends give me. I do need it, and it keeps my spirits up. To speak with fervour at times I feel I represent many foreigners who Koreans invite to work in this country but do not recognize them as true and trustworthy professionals, instead after giving them work expect them to behave like mindless sheep with zero creativity and individuality.
These days this support from my friends and my husband and the thoughts of me being heroic sustain me through the trenches of doing business in Korea. So far we have sucked terribly in attracting a single customer. I made a flyer ordered 8,000 copies of it printed and posted in apartments around our school. I have gotten two phone calls which are dead leads (in marketing term it means the people who called will never become potential let alone paying customers) . So after this I am like HM. It really sucks.
