Full pledged

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog. I know and well aware that I haven't been as active as I wanted to be. You can definitely tell with my last entry being 21st July, and today is the 10th September! So where had all the time went?

I guess after I became a full pledged educarer, life became a race. Hustling through the many hats I wear from time to time. From being a wife, to a colleague, to a teacher, to a caregiver, to a first-aider, to an admin, to a friend. I often go home later than I was scheduled to because there are days the children need a little bit more of me, and there are days I need to give a bit of me in other areas.

Some days, I ended up bringing work home. I am not complaining though, I haven't felt important in a long while. In this industry, I felt important, I felt my presence being appreciated, I felt like I can contribute more, I can impact more, and all these feelings, all these affirmations makes me happy.

I often find myself looking forward to upgrade myself, so I can certify myself properly with the challenges I had taken. Like how I relief a class I was not yet qualified to when the main teacher falls sick, this week, I took the older children. Whilst I did struggle, I embrace it and asked around how they manage so I can improve myself. I apply what I had learnt, and try to improvise as I go.

There are days and moments where these children begin to get out of line, boundary and enjoy testing me, but there are also days and moments where I outsmart them and earn a wee bit of respect and love from them. Well.. 4 more days to go before I return to my own class with familiar faces and at a more comfortable level for me.

Oh! I had two drafts of reviews but I lost some info and pictures because well, my phone is filled with children's pictures because I am an educarer.

Until I blog again,
Jun
