Heavy heart

When i first stepped into this school,

i remember telling my family that i felt really inadequate learning how to teach in an all boys school. I've never faced an all boys crowd before and even more difficult is the thought of facing boys at that age, where their propensity to rebel is at its peak. Not only that but also the whole package of learning to teach in a school, how to deal with collegues (collegues?!..never had them), well, basicallyof learning to face the world (wahseh..sounds like superwoman!). This element of unknown was both exciting and scary to me. It seemed like everything that i've acquired will now be put to test, my countless biology classes and microteachings will now be thrown into the sea to see if it survive the storm. Everything was huge and i felt really inadequate.

But i'm glad that He has seen me through it.
I'm grateful He has been there through every step of the way.

The storm is over. My 14 weeks of tedious, sometimes downright silly lesson plannings are now a part of history.

There were ups and downs. But i guess in everything the downs are there to make the ups~up.

I really enjoyed doing what i did in that short span of time.
I really enjoyed teaching and i know i'll be happy sticking with it for quite sometime.

And so, as i walked out of this school for the last time, there'll be a number of things i know i'll miss.

I'll miss driving to school early in the morning because if the morning skies are clear i get to spot these....


What i call natural eye candy...


I'll miss being greeted by the school's Pak Guard and waving to him while driving in every morning. He was the first of many friendly people whom i met when i came to this place and each morning as i drive up to the school, he'll be there standing next to the main gate greeting and waving to every teacher that drives in.
I'll miss the interaction i had with the students and the teachers.






And as i ended my short stint here, i left not only with a heavy load of things (books, files, papers and i dont-know-what) but also with a heavy heart.
