Choral Speaking Competition 2014 - SKS9

What makes one extremely happy?

It varies but for most of us, it's when we actually witness our hard work and effort produced a tremendous result.

I'm a teacher and you know what makes me happy?

Seeing my students achieving something that we both wanted so much and they actually dedicating it to me.

When I entered this school for internship, I fretted out a little knowing that, I can always survive in new places with my communication skills. What terrified me was how the STUDENTS going to accept me.

As a teacher who teaches from the textbook?

As a friend who listens and solve their petty little problems?

Or as an elder girl that trying to inspire them in any way?

As time passes, I learnt the best way is to be ALL of the above.

All four of us were assigned to train the school's first ever Choral Speaking team for the competition. We picked the students through auditions and had countless practices that filled with harsh scoldings and motivations.

But when things get intense, the senior teachers took over and ever since that we four don't even attend the practices. We just felt like we were discriminated. You know, the normal emotion rush we had.

I don't know why but the students are quite fond of me. Well they do like my other 3 colleagues but it seems I'm always their "Teacher Choral Speaking". 

So their big day is today.  They competed with 12 schools and guess what they won the 4th place and qualified to finals. 

Annnnnnnndddddddd they all ran towards me and gave a group hug. Showered me with, "Thank you teacher!" and "We won!" 

I almost cried. I'm so proud of my kids that I don't even have words to express it. Yes, a teacher's pride is always her/his students' success.

Actions or Words?

Actions speak louder than words?
Everything in this world has been done in either social contextual or personal belief. Be it words or actions, both really depends on the person's intellectual and view on it. You can say wise words but don't act good or vice versa.  But if I can't accept your words/actions, your intention doesn't matter actually.

I had experiences with someone who said he believes my actions more and therefore I wasn't being truthful to him because I DON'T act that way. But does he know that I mean every single word I uttered and just because I am not really a 'action' person, I'm hurt by his accusations?

It all comes down to you.
You think his/her words are good, you will believe.
You think his/her actions are good, you will believe.
Because nothing else would matter as much as the person in your life. 

Updates!

This post serves no purpose. I was asked to update this blog more often. *taps the dust and coughs* So another attempt to revive this blog.

Guess what I'm a trainee teacher now. Like teaching in real life! No worries, even I don't think I can survive all these while.

So I'm already halfway through my practicum and trust me, I gained a lot of experiences especially in the sense of communication.  I have to step outside my comfort zone and learn how to talk to my fellow colleagues and my students' parents.

And living in a new place with new people. More experiences! *faint 'Yay'*

More updates, coming soon! Coming soon!
