Finally had my induction done at SACPS.....it was truly a homecoming for me.....going back to the place I once belonged......and the school has only aged beautifully and gracefully....it's filled with warmth and laughter of old girls......everywhere I walked with my mentor, I saw a past etched with my memory of that particular spot.....with my friends of days long gone....of youthful hope and naivete......yet...all that beauty I gained was marred by an evil witch....... if things go well, I may not come into contact with her at all during my 5 weeks there...yet how long can i run? I only hope that my fears are all untrue....that she's not already spouting untruths to teachers who love me for who I am....for who they remember me to be....yet, I know I'll be able to win them over with hardwork, earnestness, passion and drive......
Seeing this school, and comparing it to the place I came from, they are but worlds apart....every child here is cared for and loved for who she is, and groomed in the best of ways to make her a more other-centered individual. No doubt grades are still important, but the inner beauty, the spirituality is what matters to the teachers here......and this is so much more different from that other place..........and somehow, though the vision and everything may seem idealistic and all, yet, I know that this is the place I want to belong to, the place where I want to forge new memories of my time in the school.....to build on the past I'd left behind, and yet am still proud of.......
Hmmm....Darling's gonna be super busy over the next few months to come...being involved in NDP and all......he's gonna be away for almost every Saturday, and maybe Tuesdays and Thursdays too........whilst it's going to be somewhat good coz I can focus on my work/lesson plans whilst I'm at practicum..... yet on the other hand, my stint at SACPS does not begin until Term 3..... which leaves me with almost 7 saturdays alone..... sighz.......I guess I'll use the time to work on my Recruitment programme!
Going to watch Nim's Island later on......
Tomorrow's gonna be another busy day.........visiting Darling's grandfather's grave; then going to check out Pulau Ubin for a church activity...then dinner to celebrate Nigel's birthday......and come Monday evening, Darling and me will be in Tioman enjoying ourselves and relaxing.....hmm.....I so can't wait....just hope our days there are filled with plenty of sunshine!!!!
