Salam....
Its really been a long time since the last entry....
Its February 2014 where my life as a trainee teacher continues.
Its going to be hectic as usual. This time I'm gonna face a lot of tough things along the way.

In a blink of an eye, its been 4 years I'm here.
Alhamdulillah, I survived last exam without any distractions and free from any sickness. I'm so grateful to Allah. I never thought I could make this far. I tried to be positive last semester and the result coming out splendidly. 
so now lets us hear thoughts from my former English teacher whose now become the Teaching Specialist coach in PPD. I adore and hoping to be like her one day.

"Thought it appropriate to share this as I will start my job as a coach tomorrow...i wrote this in 2011 and I will keep this as a reminder...
Teaching is a tough job. It demands the best of me everyday. There are days when you just want to curl up and die out of frustration. Teaching English can be so overwhelming and you seem to be knocking on empty doors. Then, there are days when a tiny spark, an 'A-ha' moment with a student, when a child's eyes light up because of you..and you are reminded again of why you are a teacher..

I teach because I love to see the change that happens. I am aware that I don't just teach English, I teach kids, kids that are imperfect, insecure, messed-up and lost but are wonderful in their own way. I remember that each of them has a dream, an aspiration and a hope of a better life. They are no longer children, yet they are not yet adults..They are trying to close the gap and they will make mistakes, learn and unlearn when given the chance. I teach because I want to be a part of that journey...i am privileged to be a part of their lives for a while. I teach because I want to bring them hope..and most of all, I teach because I care...."
