To the benefit of those who keep asking me why i wanna be an educator when i grow up.
You see,when i was in Pri. Sch..I often fancied being a teacher..When i came home from sch,ok this may sound super lame butttt i used to take out all of my stuff toys and placed them on the bed and get plain A4-Size paper and staple them and write qns and talk to dolls that stare at me blankly and i would bug my parents to get me whiteboard with some pilot markers and i would (yeah,u guessed it) 'teach' them easy stuff and talk to them and give and collect the 'Exam Papers'.
This was pretty much what i would do.And of course,i was convinced by my peers and teachers that i boo-ed @ studying and wasn't given the talent to score.So for those who've seen my report books,you'll know what i'm talking about..haha..
I mean which teacher will favour a borderline student.They will either mock at you or think you're brain is pea-sized.Though i wasn't that good in my studies,i reign on tracks but during that time..who cares if you're good at sports.While I was in primary school,the teachers do give constructive criticisms(well,at least some)
Then came the 2nd phase of life-Secondary sch..
I'll just skip to sec 3,for those who know me will know i can't speak fluent chinese in a conversation.I'll probably just stutter and stone..
Yeah yeah,i remembered vividly when i kept having D7 in my MT though i really studied during the mid-terms of sec3 and the Chinese HOD came to me and said'huien,i think you should drop your chinese and take on syll.B..bla bla bla..'
Her sacarsm was at it's peak.I mean shouldn't u be encouraging the student when its still about 1.3yr to 'Os'..super crappy can and at that time she told me to drop it to save my other subject so i did..she said i can't make it for chinese.
Such a caring person..
you see,the impact she left on a growing teen will forever be etched in me.but,i have to love pple fervently.so i've long forgiven..haha..
Secondary schools have many types of students and
for teachers who just wanna see students getting staright A1s for their exam and neglect/mock/look down on those who aren't making it big YET.I feel sorry and thankful for you at the same time,i feel sorry that you're just teaching for the sake of teaching. i mean why would u wanna consider even being an educator?That there is no purpose in your teaching career except to earn big bucks and climb up the position ladder.Continue climbing then,the higher u climb and when u finally think you're at the top of your ladder.It's not the right wall for you and there you go tumbling down your little shallow lives.and i feel thankful for all the judgemental words you say to me and all your lame/no-meaning comments that made me do well now.thank you,really..There are so many pple that have looked down upon me in my academic studies but i've so proven them wrong again and again that i'm not the person they say i am.That's why i wanna be an educator who encourages.It's not about money anymore,it;s doing what i like and its no longer just a job.im remembering all these encounter so that when i've become one they can play a part in motivating my students.
