Two weeks which was long yet short

Thanks to Jia Yiing, I got to teach for two weeks in a real school!

At first, the two weeks seemed SO long as I had to prepare for EST lessons and moral lessons. EST lessons were tougher as the material had to be more challenging and scientific. The students' proficiency are very high.(maybe they can be the English teacher already) Even I find the material challenging. I felt intimidated. Entering EST classes was quite scary at first.

I am thankful that advanced students did not point out my errors if there were, that I did not realize. They obediently completed the task given despite the noise that they make.

I see different type of students. Some who are very cheerful, who can talk non stop, most of the time very loudly in class. Some are not afraid to come out to the front to speak. There are a few whom you can sense the rebel in them, they just go against everything you say, sometimes I feel even think twice about pushing them too far in fear of an outburst in class. A few are quiet and they smile at the back of the class, and you know that they are paying attention and are well-behaved. Some are out of control, you just want to scream. The upper secondary students are more matured and more thoughtful. Some may not care about your presence at all, but there are one or two sensitive ones who can sense your disappointment and joy. There are a few that makes you smile. Overall, they are good kids.

Looking back, it was a productive two weeks. I may grumble for having to wake up early to go to school and sleep early because I am too tired at the end of the day, but I had done something useful that 7 days :)
