They changed my life..
Saturday, May 09, 2009
You know how I used to say that teachers really do make a difference.. Well, teaching these kids made a difference in me too.. Teaching changes lives truely.. How you deal with people and situations.. I can honestly say I'm still sad about leaving my class.. I'm sad not being able to handle their nautical nonsense and cute antics during my lessons.. How they ask the most brilliant but yet at the same time most nonsensical questions.. How every bit just makes me miss them..
I'm quite unsure why, but this class really leaves a big impact on me.. Maybe because for the past 10 weeks, 5Wisdom is the only class that I teach.. Everyday is just them and me.. They too were so accustomed to me..
It saddens me when they kept asking why I couldn't come back anymore.. When I explained that there is no vacancies for EMS teachers, tey asked again," Why no vacancy?" hahaa.. told you they ask the most ridiculous questions.. It might be taxing at times teaching a low-end class, but I would take the job in a heartbeat over the clever ones.. they are harder to control in terms of homework, but they are simple lovable.. till now, they are flooding my class blog asking me to come back.. how cute..
I'm really touched this time round and really feel sad that I left the school.. I had a great CT who truly cares about me.. Even though hes a ST (Senior Teacher), he really took good care of me.. The short evaluation after every lesson that he sat in just to tell me things to improve.. The times I sat with him for each observation lesson plans.. Providing me all the help he can to ensure that I get the grade that I want.. Making sure I eat! ahha.. yes.. he actually did.. once, after contact time, he made me eat and he took for me food and sat down with me and other teachers together to eat.. I could talk to him about anything.. He's very forgiving, telling me that it is ok to make mistakes now so that I can learn and not make mistakes later when I become a full-fledge teacher.. Always motivating me.. Before I left, he told me to work hard and he hopes I do get to crossover, cause he has helped me to get one step closer to get it by giving me the grade.. I really can't thank him enough for everything.. After I left, he msged me again which touched me so much.. =)
It feels liberating to finally end practicum.. but sad that all i'm left with are memories.. I really truly enjoyed myself there..
Thank you for the wonderful 10 weeks.. no words can describe how much all of you have an effect on me.. =)
But it's time now to take on a new journey in my education life.. to a new school, North Vista Primary.. Hopefully, it will be as good as Edgefield..
