累了。
为了你们， 累了。
不想放弃，但你们没给我任何直得撑着的理由或力气。
明知你们有实力， 却自己先放弃， 我更帮不了你们。
一个人要为那么多人撑， 不容易。
On a more positive note, half of my kids seem to be doing great going towards the finals.
I really hope they score!

UM Convo 2012
Even more awesome than before, or perhaps I'm just missing UM and the people in it.
Flash mobs, cheers, graduates being thrown by juniors, bouquets, teddy bears....
Aaaah~ memories...
Congratulations to all who has graduated this year, including my sifu, Amos Aw(Masters) and KT friend, Chin Hai (Medical Imaging).

Reflection month
Now it is advised that I put more energy in next year's kids - the ones I haven't made mistakes with yet.
Wise indeed~

Contemplating...
Thinking if this is for me.
Can't remember if I ever did before this, but this morning I came to the brink of breaking down while talking to my mom on the phone, while dressing up to go to school.
Stressed. After 9 months being a teacher.
When things pile up and pressure builds, staying strong underneath all these is hard.
With finals coming up, I really have to drill the fact that my kids are not statistics.
Treat them like human.
I am not the only one they have learned from.
Whether I made an impact or not, I can only try my best.
Even if I have not, I can only try to do better next time.
Can't go around feeling guilty about the past.
I do want the best for my kids, but they have to want it too.
I'm grateful that I do see positive change in some kids I taught.
Rejoice for them, Juin dear. You have done something by just hanging on.
