Kids and Life

I'm typing this blog post in my office. Thought of reviving this blog a few days back so here I am. The reason to such decision is due to my deteriorating writing skill. It has been some time since I last wrote. I realised this worsening when I was writing my testimonial on Optimax service. The words just could not come out properly. So I panicked. Haha. Anyways, I can already foresee this determination won't last that long based on my past history.

Life has been monotonous these few weeks. I have graduated from my university in the end of June. I started a part time job in a brain training centre for kids and teens. It only takes up half of my Friday and Saturday. So, that leaves the rest of the week free for me. I actually enjoy staying at home. Occasionally going out with friends and then returning to the comfort of my home, reading a book or watching movies and dramas, cooking, playing with my dog. Kind of relaxing. Well, this life is gonna be on halt for a while starting from next week though. I applied for a tutoring job in my uni, so will be busier than before as I would have two jobs at the same time.

The kids here in this centre. They are of different personality, of course. I am still learning on how to deal with different kids at the same time. To max out their learning and performance. I still feel so inadequate in handling them, in using the best approaches for their learning. It is impossible to use one method and expect all of them to get it. I need to be more creative. Still learning. Anyways, I would say teaching here is more stress free than teaching in a government secondary school. I remember being angry almost everyday at school, my blood pressure rising constantly. It was suffering. However, here, I don't feel that way. Probably because when the children misbehave, I just have to raise my voice a little, and then they will quiet down. Anyways, I hope and vow not to let anger to govern me if I'm sent to a gov school next year. I don't wanna live that kind of torturous life.

Okay, I think I got to get back to my work. Sorry for the empty-in-juicy-news-and-details post. If there's anyone still reading this.
