Dear Blogger ...
it is been a while. but i always believe "better late than never".
17 January 2015 was my 4th years of teaching. Meaning to say my 5th years away from my families. And my 4th years as government servants. i felt so blessed. there is no word could describes i happy i am coz be able to in this positions. All the hard works the sacrifices was really paid. TQ to a my mum and dad, my brother and sister and to all my families member, relatives and friends near and far coz believing in me, support me and be there for me when ever i need.
Life never been this easy. Teaching is often referred to as a job, sometimes as a career, or even a profession, but it is far more than that. We consider the choice as a way of life, or even a way of being. The teacher's journey represents a lifelong commitment to learning, not only about your content area, grade level, curricular changes school policy and technological innovations, but about true passion for new knowledge and skills that make you more effective as professional and a human being.
It is remarkable when you consider the teacher's journey is one of adventure. Each year we encounter new students and became a part of their lives, just as they become members of our community. We are witnesses to their sorrows. We watch as they learn, grow and mature as well when they falter, make mistakes, and fail. We do our We do our best to support, encourage, and inspire them to succeed. With our words, as well as through our actions, we model for them what is possible and what they can achieve. It is certainly through our skills, knowledge, and expertise, but also through
our very presence, that we demonstrate our faith in their abilities. The teacher’s journey is filled with trials and tribulations, just as one would expect during any adventure. Much of the time we feel lost, without an accurate map or working compass. There are obstacles to overcome and adversaries to face, but also exciting and novel experiences. Best of all are the relationships we develop with many of our students, some of their parents, and cherished friends and colleagues.
The rewards of teaching are immediate and long-term. We get to hear students speaking a new language we have taught them, playing an instrument they had never held before and analyzing literature in a book they have read for the first time. We observe students learning to write, multiplying polynomials, dancing or creating an artistic masterpiece, as well as mastering many objectives. We know, if not for the environment we created and the nurturing we provided, the students would not have these experiences to call their own. We get to know students’ individual differences, abilities, and interests. Our greatest source of joy and satisfaction arises from knowing we have made a difference. We may have not reached all the children in a significant way, or even most of them, but each year/semester it is just enough to sustain us and feed our faith in the power of teaching. As time goes on, former students come back to visit. They notice what is new or that we’ve rearranged our rooms. They tell us how their lives have changed. They share how what we did made a difference to them.
Having u guys surround me was the best experiences of all, and i really appreciate it..
Love,
Mr Larry
