haha i bought stickers for the kids

and im so badly want to paste it on their ws

the kids must have sensed my eagerness:))

oops.

i realised...

its not just about passion

its more than that

its love for it

and actually missing it

a whole lot of activities coming up

it felt impossible to be part of every one of them

but alas, everything falls nicely in place:)

and more to come.

i've never been that afraid

the fateful day fast approaching

how ironic that everyone around me

has so much faith in me

(for that i thank every single one of you for being my morale booster

but it didnt help much still)

wheras i do not have faith in myself at all

not a single bit

i wonder why they thought so highly of me

asking me to go to a certain uni,

go for scholarships, and what nots

im not pressured into living up to their expectation

because i really dont know what to expect at all,

how it will all turn out 

and besides i know they genuinely care

and im grateful to have them

shut my eyes and i have nightmares

awake and i fear

i wonder how i will survive the week

terribly afraid:(

happy st valentine:)

i have too much spare time in between lessons

not alot of it, really

but enough for my mind to wonder off

hence it would be nice to keep track of what im thinking of

this best describes my thoughts

after each lesson

its a child's life you are talking about

make or break it.

I've come to a frightening conclusion 

that i am the decisive element in the classroom.

It's my personal approach that determines the climate.

It's my daily mood that makes the weather. 

As a teacher, i possess a tremendous power 

to make a child's life miserable or joyous.

I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.

I can humilate or humour, hurt or heal.

In all situations, it is my response that decides 

whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalaed, 

and a child humanized or dehumanized.
