I couldn't feel my passion towards teaching so strong before. I did not regret participating in the compulsory Meranti Project last thursday and friday. Before the 2-day workshop, I had a mindset that it gonna be a "brainwash" and uninteresting workshop. However, I was wrong and I had learnt alot from it.
On the first day of the workshop, all of us were told to write and share about our own life journey. Seriously, I didn't really think much about my life which I had been through throughout all my living years. As such, writing/ drawing my own life journey did took me some times. I mentioned about my happy family, primary school life when my discipline mistress took away my opportunity to become prefect etc, my secondary life which i met my 14 close frieds etc, JC year which was the most depressing period for me and what I am thinking now. In front of the whole class, I also expressed my greatest gratitude towards my eldest brother- I realised that it was him, who is always be there for me and provide me with advices when I am facing with difficulties throughout my life journey until now. Thank you, gor gor!
During this life jouney sharing session, I realised that I am really xin fu. Really really xin fu. I was totally touched by the others' life journey. I didn't imagine that they had went through the kind of life obstacles which I could only see inside the drama. I was awed by their courage to say out to the class and I am really grateful to them for sharing their own life experiences with me. Because of them, I learn about courage; Because of them, I learn how to cherish people and the things I have with me; Because of them, I learn that I am really fortunate.
I also enjoyed the 2nd day of the workshop too! We role played the scene between teachers and students and I can feel the true classroom environment which I will be experiencing soon. Luckily, I get to feel this now and I had learnt some possible strategies from my group about how to deal with the students and rectify the problems in class. The most memorable part of the day will be the last acticity whereby we would form two rows and move like a conveyor belt, talking to the other opposite about one thing I like about him/her and one thing I would like to see more of him/her. Although I was kinda of nervous, I actually like interacting in this kind of interesting way. Haha Wei Yi asked me, "Is my smile permanent?" and "Can I frown?". LOL. I find these very funny xDD And I am really happy that Murale said that he can see my confidence level improve and dare to speak out more :D And he asked me to continue to be more confident in myself ((:-- It was him who pointed out that I had low confidence during my GESL project and it was him again who said that my confidence improve! Thank you Murale for your enouragment! :D:D
Overall, I feel that this workshop is really meaningful! I had gained not only friendship, but also the assurance from my group mates that I could do and be better. Most importantly, my next direction in life seems clearer to me now (:
