Time to bid goodbye to NIE...
Well, NIE has been my home for the past 4 years, and despite complaining about it all the time, truth is I love the place. It's so sheltered, and everyone around me is so loving. Now that we have to bid the campus goodbye, I kinda miss it already...We will be entering into the world of politics and more politics.
I just got my posting: Clementi Primary School. At the start of Practicum, I applied to Clementi Primary School, in the hope that I would get there. Seriously, I did not know why I made that move, but it was just like something told me to just try my luck there. Guess I got what I hoped for...=)
However, it's really a mixed feeling. On the one hand, I was very comfortable in Jurong, but it is just not comfortable enough to tempt me to stay on. I can't place my finger to what the problem is, but it just made me uncomfortable enough to apply out. I mean, afterall, I was used to Jurong Primary already...However, on the other hand, I didn't want to leave Jurong Primary, because it sort of became the "comfort zone", and it is never a nice feeling to step out of the comfort zone, whether it's for the better or worse...(I really hope this time it's for the former).
Anyways, I was telling da about it, but he doesn't seem to comprehend the frustrations and the dilemma that I am facing. He keeps saying "But you chose it what, and you should be glad that you got it. Why you still want to complain?
Told Soo Wei, and she was really helpful, and very much more encouraging. She even offered to help ask her friend who had been teaching there, to let me know how the school is.. She is sooo... sweet. Thanks!
It's just the anxiety, and it has been bugging me for the whole day. I don't know. It could be just the jitterbugs, but I really can't help it. I keep thinking, and what I tell myself to soothe my clammed up nerves...:
What if the P doesn't like me? (But she looks like a nice person).
What if the class that I am allocated is ill-behaved? (It's up to me to change the situation).
What if the class that I am allocated doesn't perform under me? (Seriously Pat, you can't help EVERYONE. What's important is that you HAVE changed some of their lives...)
What if the colleagues are mean? (How can you make a difference if you keep thinking like this? Think Positive, Pat...)
blah, blah blah...WHatever. Please keep me in all your prayers... =O
ANyway, will stop thinking negative for the time being. I still have a few more days with my friends from NIE during the Induction programme, and I shall enjoy them while I still can. I really hope we will stay in contact throughout our careers...
This photo was taken in ITE Simei today. On the top row, from left: (Liyang, Celina, Cherine, Amy). On the front row, from left: (Hanis, Azlin, Soo Wei, Me).
Hey, I love you guys man... Please make sure to stay in contact! I miss all of you already!
