A male American teacher teaches at an all-girls school in Japan.
I just got done with college and accepted a job as an English teacher in Japan. I was so excited, since I am an anime fan and always wanted to go to Japan.
I had no idea what to expect at this job.
I met one of the staff member who was supposed to be waiting for me at the airport. I went up to her and shook her hand.
“Are you Lee Workman?”, she asked.
“Yes. Are you the person that from the school?”, I replied.
She nodded her head as she led me to the car.
Inside the car, we had a conversation about my new job.
“Can you tell me anything about the school I’ll be working at?”, I asked.
“You’ll see when we get there.”, she answered.
We pulled up out in front of the school and everywhere I look, there are girls in their uniforms. I was getting a little confused about the scenery.
I looked over at the staff member and asked her, “This is an all-girls school. Is it?”
She nodded. I was staying calm as I was celebrating in my head.
“Don’t get any ideas in your head.”, she said as she started to lead me to the Director’s office.
“Don’t worry. I’m not that kind of guy.”, I replied as I followed her closely.
While we were walking, all of the girls were gossiping and staring at me. I was looking around like I was paranoid or something like that.
“Can you tell me anything about this school, other than being an all-girls school?”, I asked.
She didn’t answer me as she showed me the Director’s office door.
I opened the door and entered the room. The Director was sitting at her desk, expecting me to walk in.
“Thank you, Kozue-sensei.”, the Director said as Kozue-sensei closed the door behind her.
“Workman-sensei, we are a prestigious institution and we take pride in our education. The only reason I considered hiring you is so that the Board of Education wouldn’t shut us down. So, don’t mess up!”, she explained.
“So, that’s why.”, I thought to myself.
The Director gave me my class list and sent me to Classroom 1-1. Kozue-sensei led me to the classroom and I was getting a little nervous.
“Are you scared?”, she asked.
“No. Just a little nervous.”, I replied.
I placed my hand on the door and took a couple of deep breaths. Kozue-sensei opened the door and pushed me in, making me crash into my desk.
The classroom went silent as I tried to get up. I stood up on my own two feet and introduced myself.
“Hello, my name is Lee Workman and I will be your homeroom teacher for the upcoming school year.”, I said to them.
I was too dizzy that I was introducing myself to the chalkboard. One of the girls turned me around and I introduced myself again.
I believe that this is going to be the start of a crazy school year.
