Chronicles of a "Cher!": Part #1


Feelings of apprehension. Feelings of doubt. Feelings of excitement. Feelings of achievement. Feelings of mine mixed with others.

"What? You're going to be teacher? You look younger than a student!"
"Buy more clothes. You need money? You can borrow from me first, and return later."
"Quit la, be what teacher, you want to teach them the wrong things right?"
"What school will you be teaching? Ah? Careful ah, don't let the children bully you!"
"Not bad, not bad, good job. $65/day? Up la!"


With such comments, the question is not whether I am confident of myself, but whether it is possible to not carry these comments with me when I report the on the first day of work.

Day 1- a greenie.
I walk in trying to look as mature as I possibly can.
Is the skirt I'm wearing right? Do I look pro? Eh, I look stupid. Smile smile smile, remember to smile!

Sign in at the General Office.
Its 0715. Good. Early.

Go to the Staff Room and look for the Teacher-in-charge.
Ok, ok, where's the Staffroom?!?!?! How do I get pass the Security Password?! What?! No one in the Staff room!? Alright! I need to wait. Ho-hum.

Wait for the Teacher at the Staff Lounge.
Its nine!!! No one yet? Do I really have to read the last book on this table - the Webster's Dictionary?! Oh puh-leese!

Meet H.O.D
Fierce.

She smiles, she encourages, I pass the test. :)


Written and pondered over, but emotional at 1:25 AM


ME, what I aim to be...

A Writer.
A seeker.
A thinker.
A learner.
A disciple.
