working...

after STPM, wat most of the STPM students do is that we find a job.. to earn some money, gain working experience and also doing something with ur free time while waiting for the uni letter.. for me, i chose to work as a primary school teacher, teaching in PJ, BM, kajian tempatan and seni... at first i thot it was easy, a lot of benefits.. as i heard from others.. Benefits are... we can influence the young generations, impart the values in them, children are adorable..the pay is quite reasonable. work half day.a lot of holidays esp school holiday. well, it sounds true.. but not when u really enter into this field..

after 4 months of working.. i feel tired and exhausted.. of cuz, there are somedays i feel that being a teacher is meaningful.. teacher can really infuence life..when u heard a student telling u that learning in your lesson is fun and she likes my lessons, i will feel so so so happy and feel that is worth it after all the hard works..
Nevertheless, the world is real.. there is 50 students in a class. u only have 1 hour to teach.. u have to rush for the lessons at the same time, u have to ensure the students understand it.. not forgetting that the children at this age, they like to walk around, like to disturb their frens, like to talk and etc.. within the one hour, u have to teach, settle their prob, correct them for the mistakes they do in the exercise books and ensure them passing the homework..is stress.. it is because im not experienced in handling so many children.. yes, teachers work only half day but do u know teacher have so many books to mark.. just take one tulisan book.. a class 50 books.. 2 classes,100 books..the next day, they are passing up buku aktivities, another 100 books.. if the teacher have to mark essay, a class 50 essays to mark!!! almost everyday i have to stay back till 4pm or later just to finish marking..if u teach the wrong thing, it will influence the kids for life.. so, teacher have to prepare for the lessons before hand.. still got ko-kurrikulum have to handle,a lot of paper work...if the student in trouble, u have to take care...
if u are a married teacher.. not only u have to do the above thing.. u have to also take k of ur family members.. once u reach home, u have to cook, then do the house chores.. then have to teach ur children to study.. after all this will be 10pm dy.. then only u have ur own personal time..

a lot of people said teacher is so easy.. maybe in one sense yes and maybe not.. dun be too judgemental in that.. this occupation requires not only physical strength but more on emotional strength..u have to really settle ur emotion daily..controling 50 students in class is not easy..next time u wanna say being a teacher is easy think twice.. if u think u can do as wat i coded above, then only u have the right to say so...teacher is a holy occupation and i really salute all the teacher esp the primary school teacher.. they have to handle both the work and the family..
to all my teachers in my life, thanks for teaching me patiently and really pour ur heart and love to care for me...i honor and respect u!!
