Passion and dedication. Those may be the words that people use to talk about the characteristics of a teacher. But in a special school like the Vietnam School of Circus and Variety Arts, the teaching job is also a journey filled with love, enthusiasm, and a lot of hard work. Circus art is a special profession. It is difficult to recruit new people to do this job. Students, who are studying at the Vietnam School of Circus and Variety Arts, come from many provinces and cities across the country. They have lived and studied in the school dormitory from a very young age. Teachers in the school not only teach them acrobatic skills or how to perform risky technical moves but also act as their second fathers and mothers. They take care of their students' meals and sleep and teach them living skills. Teachers are also friends, who help to get their students through a difficult puberty period.
