YM778.TV Chapter 74 Application form
Song Xueyun was standing outside the staff office, wondering if she should walk in or not. The letter in her hand was creased because of the force that she was using. She hadn’t thought that one day she would have to think about such a simple thing but when life pulls rugs from under your feet, a person has to do what he hadn’t thought even in the wildest dreams that he would do so.
Her mind went back to what she had encountered this morning…
She was getting ready for school when she recalled that she had to get an application signed by her parents. Before leaving for university trip, her father had signed the application form but it was still placed somewhere in his room
As she was going through the drawers in his room, looking for the application form, her eyes fell on some bank papers. Her eyes zoomed on the contents of the paper.
According to these documents, her father had broken the FDs that he had made for her College tuition fee. Her father was a university professor. Although the income he received was enough for a family of three to survive comfortably, it still was not enough for them as her mother had beaten cancer four years ago and they had debt on their heads..
There was a sum of money that he had fixed in a bank account for his daughter’s college tuition fee. He didn’t know why he took the money but she was afraid that her mother might be sick again. She didn’t want to be a burden on her parents but she didn’t want to miss College either when she was working too hard in school.
In the end, she only had one option left. To earn her own college tuition fee. She had more than two years and she believed that it would be enough for her to save for her tuition fee.
This was the reason why she was standing outside the staff room, holding an application for part-time tutoring services.
There were many students in Jingyuan High that sought tutors and most of them were students who were carefree enough to squander their parents’ hard earned money on school tuition fees and then pay the private tutors.
Song Xueyun knocked on the door after mustering up enough courage and entered the door upon receiving the assent from the other side.
“Ah, Student Song, how can I help you?”Teacher Jin looked up from the paperwork and found Song Xueyun standing before him. Although he was class Ten K’s headteacher, he still knew about all the top students. And this girl’s scores were almost perfect.
“I came to submit an application form, “Song Xueyun said with a small smile.
“Then, hand me over your application form, “Teacher Jin said as he grabbed her application form and froze for a moment as he saw the subject. “You want to apply for tutoring services?”
Song Xueyun nodded her head.
“What’s the reason?” Teacher Jin asked as he read her application form.
“I want to save for college, “Song Xueyun said and the teacher looked at her in a new light.
Teacher Jin nodded her head as in appreciation and said, “Currently, we are short of tutors and recruiting more. The process for screening tutors is gruesome as not all are serious and think it’s only for earning bucks when it’s an initiative to help all the students. Some need urgent help in their studies and others need financial help. I can put good words with the head of the screening committee as I can see you are serious. However, I have to make it clear from the beginning that if you receive bad reviews, you will be banned from participating further in the programme.”
Song Xueyun nodded her head. “I will not give you a chance to complain, teacher Jin.”
“Alright, let me talk to the head of the screening committee while you wait out. I will call you once I have an answer,” Teacher Jin replied while Song Xueyun went out. After five minutes, she was called back and was presented with a registration form. “We have three tiers. In the first tier, the Students don’t need much help and they are good at behaviour. Most of them are friendly and most importantly, the students who want to get help.”
“In the second tier, the Students are mostly from the last sections and are not sure as to how to deal with fellow students. Because of their behaviour, they are out in the third tier, “Teacher Jin added.
“What about third tiers?” Song Xueyun couldn’t help but ask.
Student Song, almost all the slots for tier two are filled and tier one doesn’t need tutors, “Teacher Jin informed her beforehand. He took a deep breath as he said, “The third tier students are either hopeless or are forcibly sent by their parents to add their name here. Their behaviour…well, you can imagine rebellious students not wanting to study in school as it’s not cool.”
“Before you decline like all the other students, let me inform you if you tutor any of the students in this tier, you can earn your tuition fee for college in just six months, “Teacher Jin replied and Song Xueyun paused. “I know what you are thinking. These students might be rich brats but they still need your help. It’s not easy for us to match tutors with such students easily.”
“How many students are on this list?”Song Xueyun couldn’t help but ask. She wanted to ask just how many such students the school had whose parents were ready to pay the amount that was the tuition fee of a normal high school.
“Merely three, “Teacher Jin said with a smile.
Song Xueyun pondered for a moment. She didn’t know how those three students were but if she could handle Lu Xuan, it meant she could handle anyone. Therefore, she didn’t think much before filling out the registration form and signing it.
