and im back from my well-deserved short holiday break. it was fulfilling for my soul as i really relaxed and have fun without thinking much about work... but good and fun times never really last very long and before i know it, it was back to work and reality for me. haha. where the workload just piled up higher and higher.
anyways, the past few days made me think alot about life.
as a teacher, i am always thinking if i have given the best i could to my children. if i have taught them the best i could in terms of education and moral values. but sometimes when i get really busy with admin stuff, lesson planning and deadlines, i seldom have much time to really interact with them on personal level and chit chat with them and shower them with love... and when that happen, i feel that i short change them of the attention they deserves for that very day.
my n1 class is slowly expanding. which means there will be more children fighting for my attention. i would really wish to give everyone my 100% attention. but it is not really possible in physical terms. =/ and sometimes it makes me feel sad that i cannot offer my very best to all my children. well, either way, life still goes on as usual... as a personal reflection, i know that i have done my best. but just sometimes i need an outlet for me to rant my thoughts and stuff...
bottom line is, being a childcare teacher made me learn that a childcare teacher is not just one to teach ABC, 123, how to read, write and do art and craft. we are as good as their god-parents, siblings, maid, story-teller, role model, playing buddy and sometimes, best friend. and it makes me happy to be able to make an impact in their life even if they wouldnt remember who their nursery teacher is in 10 years down the road.Labels: Reflections, The role of a childcare teacher
