yeah !

today is a good day ! woohoo !! not just cos it's the weekends.. more because i had mini success in some of the intervention techniques that i tried. it was a challenging day today, and im really glad i overcame it. some breakthroughs in terms of interpersonal relationships at work too !

today also marks the end of the 3 week intensive induction program. as i chart my own observations, reflections and growth.. i was able to gain more insights as to which aspect i should work on...and stuff. amazing, i really love what im doing now. having worked as a psychologist..and now as a teacher. i am able to see from 2 perspectives...which is the gap that i really hope to fill in. now as a teacher, i get 'recommendations' from therapist that is pretty impossible to implement in class, because i do not have the luxury of a one-to-one coaching with the particular student who presents with a number of issues..not jus academics. but i am hopeful abt this..and am determined to work things out with the therapist and to find the best solution for my student. hopefully in future when i assume the role of a therapist/psychologist again... i am able to make better recommendations to better facilitate a child's learning, as well as take into consideration the limitations that a teacher has in class. after 3 weeks, the role of me being a SPED teacher, has finally sunk in. although it was by choice, i still needed sometime to get used to that idea. i don't feel that one can turn into a teacher overnight, just because one has signed the letter of appointment. but i believe that comes with experiencing, and taking time to own that role in one's heart. now that im not as overwhelemed with the new working hrs and environment.. i am starting to appreciate my choice better...and finally feel that hey, yes.. i am walking in the right direction. this was the path that i chose, and this is what i want. to teach. to make an impact. to transform lives.

falling into place...things are starting to fall into place ! nicely earned weekend..hehe, shall enjoy and rest well. im so ready for the next week ! yeahh~ let it roll~~ btw, it is gonna be stressful next week.. becos i will have to undergo observations..appraisal and stuffs. oh and another thing, although realistically speaking..u wldnt like everyone u meet at a typical work setting.. but somehow, i've always been blessed to have really nice people working closely with me. have always been fortunate in this aspect :) very thankful for this.

goodnight ! have a great weekend everyone, and 中秋节快乐！
