My life is brought back to the past when I was in primary school.

Today is my first day as a primary school teacher. Lucky for me, I have 3 days to observe the senior teachers before I start teaching next week. Won't be doing camps for now. I've learnt a lot since the beginning of this week as I had 2 days of teacher preparatory course. Makes me realise that being a primary school teacher is not easy. What's easy anyway? Wonder how did my primary school teacher tolerate all of us. It's only when we walk in the shoes of a person then do we know how it feels to be in their shoes.

On the surface, it looks so darn easy. Yet, when you are the person doing it, it's so damn difficult. When I was a camper, I was looking forward to be a trainer as I thought it was a damn simple job. Just have to lead the campers through activities, play with them and make them like you. Hell, no. It's so much more than that. A trainer has tons of responsibility and he/she has to ensure the campers' safety all the time. Crowd control and handling attitude problem kids are a killer at times. When I became a trainer, then I knew what did my trainer went through last time. I empathise with her. It's a little different about being a teacher. The responsibilities are larger. Activities are mostly in the classroom. Safety for sure is number one and many many more that I am still learning.

Being a teacher is a calling rather than a job. It's not about how well we teach but how well the kids learn. Besides, it's not so much about textbook anymore. 30% textbook, 70% others. Definitely not easy and very different from other jobs. A teacher must be a counsellor in some sense, be a role model to the kids by demostrating all the good values that a person should have and teachers are usually stereotyped by being people with a kind heart. They would go all out to help one another and not back stab.

Teachers, moulding the future of the nation. Am I up to it? Father Lord, please guide me as much as you can.

Hi darling, won't be able to spend so much time with you anymore. But you'll always still be on mind cause I love you. May our love endure all thunderstorms.

Dearest Joyce, really sorry that I can't company you this week. I'll make up to you. Please let me to. No matter what you do, I'll always stand by you and support you all the way cause you're my beloved friend. Take care and be strong. Hope you'll read this.

It's been a long time since I'm home. Even when I'm home, I'm usually too tired to even turn on the computer. Have been stuck in camps at DFAC recently that's why I hardly blogged. Some camps were great, some were horrible. After every camp, there's something to learn ultimately.

Do camps keep us apart to such an extent that we will quarrel each time we meet?

Do not have much to blog. I'm tired. Thanks to those who tagged me. Nice knowing that you guys are still missing me. I love you all!

I'll be doing my last camp soon. Will really miss the guys in innotrek. They are the best colleagues one can ever get.

Be back soon to blog when I get my inspiration.
