my teaching career's starting on Wed!! officially.. but with all the horror stories abt contract teaching.. i'm already having my reservations of how rewarding it's gonna be. it's like, if pple dun give u a chance to perform, how can u show how capable u are, rite?
i shall fight for my chance, i shall show them i'm indeed capable!! haha.. easy to say..
was feeling quite depressed when i got my posting, was v scared i can't teach them properly, scared of getting cold feet, scared of a large workload (cos got v few teachers, saw from their website)..
but now i got over it.. i think no matter what, even if u've successful given only 1 student a boost, that's really a difference right? what made me accept this job in the 1st place? i want to be able to help students, no matter what, the gratitude they give me when i've explained something effectively to them, is really what i'm looking for rite? maybe that's why i love my jc 2 tuition kid so much.. she always so polite, always say "thank you" after the tuition, always nodded in agreement with wat i've said, wat i've explained, that i feel so wonderful everytime after her lesson.. v touched :)
i hope i get more nods, more "thank yous" (and hopefully more presents on teachers day?? ) haha.. still quite a long way to go i know! so silly rite?
and another comforting thing about teaching is the amount of holidays i get.. haha.. haven't started working, i'm already thinking of break! lemme list down the holidays.. dun turn green with envy hor!
- national day holiday (9th and 10th Aug)
- teachers day(1st Sept)
- 1 wk break (3rd - 11th Sept)
- dec holidays (30th Oct- 1st Jan 2006)
ok, ok, so estatic i don't need to blog any further.. hee.. i feel like jumping around like the ninja turtle on msn emoticon.. lalalalala..
shall enjoy my sat and sun b4 i start work..
