Why I need to Jot This Down...

We have seen the year 2010 had opened the curtain yesterday, and now, it is the symbol of the beginning of another journey we are supposed to do. Some people got a new born baby, some people are anxiously waiting the school to reopen and start their first class teaching. Some people also waiting to be called for a job, a promising job, while others does not know what to do next in their lives. These are the scenario happened each year, whether we are among of these categories of people or not.

Life as a university student gives me a wider scope to look at, to learn about. It was totally different from my previous life, life as a primary and secondary school student. Being among brilliant friends I suppose will show you what is your ultimate purpose by entering the tertiary education level. Make friends with them, learn with them, study with them and even does assignments with them. The crucial part was receiving their advises about being a better person or a better friend to be with. It educates you to become someone you could never imagine that you can become. But these kind of friends are very hard to find. Just picture you and your best friends together going through lots of hardship, loads of assignments with short time to finish, and they are willing to sacrifice their resting time just to submit it on time, along with you...
So hectic but yet so addicted. You will understand my saying once you leave the institution.

Now, reaching up the level by entering life as the teacher, gives me a nervous feeling on how to drive my students towards a successful road...need to prepare mentally and physically. I can't expect someone to succumb to me and help me to go through all this suffering...suffer from being a novice teacher, lack of experience and references. Sometimes when I think about it deeply, I felt a sense of frustration and the need to improve myself, yet in my mastering the language itself and stack of knowledge. Recently we're being dumbfounded by the fact that the Literature Components in English Language have been undergone a massive changes, whereby everything in the genre were totally changed! And another reason this overwhelmed me so much is that I hasn't look yet at the text and receive new syllabus for it... Asking myself why is this happening, and trying rapidly to find solutions to this, I really need someone to tell me it's okay, we'll get over the problem, but none does it to me. If only someone from the ministry/department got a pure heart to tell or warn us earlier for us to get prepared and study all the texts first. This action definitely are killing all English teachers across the country! Why such action taken? Even now if the tsunami return, we got an alarm system to warn the people, but this is totally out of the force. The force to rebuilt all the notes and teacher's understanding all of it before they go to the classes and teach the kids in a short period.
