i am so damn excited right now im breathless. MY LIFE IS SO FULL OF PROMISE!!! hahaha
im gonna teach pris violin!!! omg. i cant even play it well myself la but yayayayayayayayay. i cant wait!!! we set date and time already.
i am gonna call mr ng later and ask him for fellowship tutelage for piano performance!!! i CANT WAIT to play wonderful Debussys and Chopins and Haydns!!!
i cant wait to teach at St andrews sec next week!! its this tingling excitement, coupled with nervous anxiety. i mean, after hearing so many horror stories, its scary! but im gonna teach art, its such an exciting subject.
went for teaching internship training the past few days. its really encouraging to hear the talks from teachers who find the career really rewarding (even though i know they pick those who love teaching)
what i really took away from these few days is that it really takes a lot to
not just teach, but to educate.teaching is simple, educating is the difficult part.
the teacher is an actor - a story teller, a parent, a friend, a disciplinarian, a salesman, he takes on many roles, but the bottom line is that he must really believe in what he is doing, he must really believe in the subject he is teaching.
teachers dont earn as much as bankers, as lawyers, as doctors. in fact, they dont earn much at all.
all of us want nice houses, good husbands, great kids, 30 years from now. but one of the things i really want is to be able to answer this question - How have you contributed to society?
maybe teaching will be the right job for me. just maybe.
lets see what happens within the next six weeks!
i definitely dont have what it takes to teach yet, but i hope i will someday.
and and and tmr im going shopping!!!
and im going to sph to advertise to teach piano. piano is like slack and big bucks mann. (see i told you i dont have what it takes to teach hahaha) minimum 30 per hour. if i take grade 8 students its at least 75! haha
ohohoh my life is full of promise =)
oh and for those of you whom are interested, A level results are out on 2nd week of march. so late right haha. its from the ministry itself (they told us just now) so its totally reliable. have fun for the next two months!!
