| Pursuit of dreams require perseverance.. |
With the actual experience of teaching, i have come to realised that teaching is really not as easy as it seems. I was given two classes on different ends, a sec one express (best) class and a sec three normal technical class. Somehow my heart goes out to the NT students. THe attendance is often irregular.. and i knew these children aren't interested in academics, so i really treasured my time of contact with them where there is opportunity to just build their esteem. So my lesson objective is to build their esteem. Looking at the content i have to cover, which is rather sparse, it gave me chance to really plan the lessons, building in it the element of inspiration and motivation. For the express class, though they gave me all the attention i needed.. somehow, i do not feel as connected with them. Perhaps i am a more grassroot person. And i really see the need of the NT students.
However the need of the express students are as real. yet, it could be the subject matter that makes me less prefer it. Pray that God will continue to open doors for me to go deeper into their lives.
Shi fu called me a number of times these days. Today she asked me if i was going down to find her.She said she will wait for me to wash her hair. Rushed down and talked to her. CAn sense her sadness, to have both daughters aways from her, leaving her alone in the salon, i can totally understand how she feels. Washed her hair, blew it and set it. lingered around and cut "meixue's hair".. Am really tired.. but i guess it's like Jesus, when He saw the crowd, He had compassion. I heard shi fu's voice and had compassion. Hope to see her happy, each time i leave, i will say " i will come back again" somehowi feel that she has the fear of losing another person.
Today was lesson observation.. super "boo boo". cos i had some lessons back to back, i brought my lap top along. I forgot to take it out for the next class, and it got locked in the classroom, since the sec ones were gg for recess. When to haunt them down.. open the door retrieve8d my lap. Thanks to the student who rushed up to retrieve it for me and sent to my sec 3 class.. so when i started it was late. Wanted to show a video as a pre-act, the lap top was projected onto the screen, but somehow, when the video's playing, the screen on windows media player is just not projected. i wasn't defeated..ha.. so i took the lap top, held on it to show the student.. "failed!"So ended up describing to them the story. LEt them fill in the first form to realise that the form was not for entry into malaysia but entry into singapore. But nevertheless God is good.. It was a really funny experience though.
More open doors to touch lives!! This is my desire. I don't the purpose of answering the call to teach. |
