Afterthought

It's been a crazy year so far. Before i even realised it, NIE is over, practicum has passed. Its been almost a year since i graduated from NUS.

Churou asked me yesterday over lunch why I joined teaching in the first place.Hmm, There are so many reasons involved. The pay is good and it was offered to me during the recession. There is no office politics(Ya, right). You have school holidays. Then, there is the other side of the story. You can really make a difference to society through your students. Interact with young people and teach them what is on the syllabus and in your own heart.

In a way, teacher is a selfish bunch. We demand that people listen to us when we talk, enjoy the air of superiority when only we know and is the monopoly of the knowledge in the classroom, wants to feel good by knowing that we make a difference and likes to nag and be paranoid.

So if you ask me why i wanted to join teaching, honestly, I do not have an satisfactory answer for you because I do not even have one for myself.

P/S: My toy collection is growing at a increasing rate this year!!! So much for trying to curb my spending.
