FIRST STEP, BISMILLAH
January 25th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

So it has come to this! Bismillah! We’re officially done with school in 2 weeks time. Then this is it. The real thing. I am sure everyone’s really worried about where to go, what to apply, how to apply, when are the deadlines and etc. Even I am very nervous. What if I don’t get accepted in any Universities? I don’t want to start working just yet!
There are so many things that I am interested in and I want to learn more. I don’t want to just be safe and not explore other opportunities! I love being with children. But I just can’t teach them. Portfolios, lessons, observation and stuff that teachers do, I am not good at them. Even the field supervisor said I am not a good teacher. Truth hurts, they say. Though that one time the other field sup said I’d be a good teacher. Oh well.
One thing that I am good at though is creating learning corners. That, I must say, I truly enjoy doing. Plus just randomly, naturally playing with children. And yes, routine care! I love changing children’s diapers and bathe them! Then the little children will smell so good and oh so kissable and huggable! But sadly, I have really had a lot of chance to do routine care through out the three years of attachment days.
So while waiting, hopefully for acceptance letters from the Universities, I’ll probably find a centre which needs a tod/playgroup teacher.
