Signing off as a TT
Hi hi,
After 2 weeks of enrichment/induction programme which ended yesterday, we are suddenly full-fledged t'chers? Gosh! Father Time is certainly in a rush. Unbelievable! Emotions started to flood me when I was clearing my locker yesterday. The rain made it worse. Am going to miss everyone & every thing here, and the luxury of time to do things my way - the slow motion way. Am going to miss the times spent with coursemates, ranging from the 'picnics' during our tutorials to the heart-to-heart exhanges of news/ideas/encouragement/silly jokes... ; and even those long train rides that offer us chances to increase our understanding of one another thru serious talks or simply to talk rot, to catch up with our sleep, to reflect or simply to stone. :( Hai...
These past 2 weeks, we visited an army camp (complete with 'joyrides' on their vehicles, and a whole range of exhibits), Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve (where we were tasked to sew a nest like the weaver bird- hey, that was fun), an ITE campus (where we toured some of their workshops), heard some metaphors/philosphy some experienced people have of being in our business, heard stories of why some kids exhibit strange behaviours and how we should/could use our love to bring about changes to their lives, heard some inspiring words to keep us going (remember the pencil), picked up some knowledge of medical conditions like asthma and diabetes, and were given tips on how to deal with colleagues, difficult ones. And yes, we, the audiences tune in when we have energetic and lively speakers with lots of interesting anecdotes. A reminder of how we should deliver our lessons. Lectures become lullabies in reality.
And oh, R's wedding was a nice break from the above. No wonder everyone went berserk in trying to seize every teachable, er... no, wrong - kodak moment. :P
With that, and the release of our postings and our results, marks the end of our TT status.
