Today, I shouted at them! I lost my cool! I ranted! I let off steam and what not! It was sheer disappointment when I saw that 1 did not attempt my work despite giving them a week's grace. Another conveniently handed in a half-page compo (more like a journal) and not even having proper paragraphs. Duh?! At P6, they try to pull this stunt? I wondered. Which teacher can be THAT patient?
Frankly, I had earlier planned that I shall not lose my cool today as I was looking forward to Friday. But.....indeed...there's a limit to one's patience. However, after I simmered down, I pondered that it was right to lose my temper at the innocent ones. My stress level is that high. Im the midst of settling my late father's outstanding arrears, planning the prayers and marking, is simply crazy. No matter how I tried to clear the pile, it doesn't seem to get lesser. I'm literally pulling hairs out.
But, hopefully, this weekend will cool me off and Il be back in school in high spirits! 6 Honesty, let's together make this journey of us 'A journey towards excellence'. It's our motto, for now. hehe....Have a great weekend but don't forget my homework and revision.
By the way, I've forgotten to ask all of you with regards to your terrarium.
1) How is the plant surviving?
2) Did you have to water or look after it?
3) Why do you think the plant can survive in the container?
The above is also the assignment for the week, ya.

In High Spirits!!!
Hello people,
I'm back after such a long..........time. I shared with my pupils about my thoughts and dreams today. As I was walking home under the scorching sun yesterday, I started to envision the possibility of my pupils embracing sweet success. Yes! I want them to savour success at the end of the year! As they say, 'No pain, no gain'. We have to persevere and put in lots of effort before we can even 'smell' success. I remembered I shared with them how I managed to pull through despite failing my Mathematics in the earlier part of the year. From a 'D' to an 'A' at P6, mind you! Nope, I'm not boasting but I would want my pupils to know that everyone wants success but not everyone has the ultimate drive to strive for it. I saw their eyes sparkled when I related to them my story and I knew that some of them understood my intention.
Frankly, I'm trying...really trying to help them but I'm only human. I do not know what the future has in store for me....citing the demise of my beloved father as an example. During his hospitalisation, I was not sure if it was an injustice for me to leave them in the hands of others but I realised I had to prioritise. He needed me, my mum needed me. For 2 wks, I travelled to and fro to the hospital and yet still thinking abt my pupils. I was worried that they would pull a stunt on my reliefs.
6 Honesty, if you're reading this, please value this opportunity of a lifetime. It comes once and may not even be the same again. Success does not come easy; it needs sacrifice. Trust me, as I am typing this entry, I'm smiling as my eyes took a glance at my P6 grades - nothing less than an 'A' for ALL subjects.It's just bittersweet! If I can do it, so can you. In fact, I don't even remember what I sacrificed as it's not important anymore. What I know is that 'Where there's a will, there's a way!'
Good luck boy and girls...you know that I'm here for you....So now....stop staring at your computer and revise....hmmmmm......
