1st Week 2nd Day

I've gotten to know 6 trainee teachers who is attending in my current posted school.
2 - doing a 4-day school experience (BA)
3 - doing a 5-week school experience (BSc/BA)
2 (excluding myself) - doing a 5-week TA (DipEDinMT)

"Ada mata melihat,

ada telinga mendengar,

ada mulut bercakap"

I wonder why these teachers keep asking us this infamous question.

"Are you really in this? This whole teaching thing?"

It occured to me more alarmingly now that maybe more of those who joined the force isn't here with the passion. Like one would say (which might make sense to a big extent), "Passion can die, it's what behind it that makes up the decision".

I'm sorry, but I'm here after doing a long stint of 2 years. If I was taking the degree, I would be in my 3rd year, and still enjoying the ride. I have to admit that I may not be at the decent platform to teach yet, but I'm learning and I'm pushing myself to the limit. Naturally, I would love to crossover (++_________ hehehhehe).

In many cases, in this stint, there's no reason to judge anything, or anyone for that matter. I think I'm kicking a pressure up for myself now, as for the others who are doing the same general observation as I am isn't teaching at all. It is just too important for me, more so than that of people who are just doing observations.

I'm worried that people might take my words differently, or worse offended. I am aware that I should be careful with the words and the personality that I portray. It's not like I have to be fake, it's just the need to be sure that unnecessary things, emotions and factors should be avoided as much as possible. Moreover, I would be coming back to the school again next year. So yeap.

I'm feeling the pressure.
