These days, have begin to like teaching. I enjoy teaching, and that love for teaching is being strengthened, reinforced whenever I go for mentoring. I did consider becoming a teacher in future when I was in j2. But then again I can’t control a whole class of mischievous kids. Oh wells, the introvert side of me strongly dominates the extrovert side. The most I can do is probably giving one-on-one tuition. But one cannot earn much giving tuition leh. Gah, can’t imagine being an accountant in 2.5 hrs time. Desk-bound job…sianzz not looking forward to it.

Anyways, my tutee din come todae! She must haf been tired after her camp and play performance during the weekend. Gah, if I knew I wouldn’t have gone todae. But I had a rather good experience mentoring todae though! =)

Initially, my mind was not at mentoring coz I was trying to rush FM presentation slides before mentoring, so my mind was still on my work. Then somemore my new tutee hardly respond to me. Everytime I ask question then she’ll pause for many minutes. Having a taste of my own medicine (quietness) yea. Pek chek!

But then I remembered what a children counselor taught us during one of the life-skills training for this mentoring programme. She said that children are very sensitive, they can sense when ure mind is not with them. And she taught us how to clear our mind and bring our mind to mentoring the kids. So wells, tried to forget about the FM presentation and the whole mess of tutorials/test, etc. and gave my mind fully to mentoring.

And it worked yea! My new tutee seemed more relaxed, started talking a bit more and even laughed at times. Yea man! We were more effective that way. And we had more fun yea.

I was doing the talking almost all the while k. Normally in sch, I talk less than 5 sentences a day, unless I meet rosemary or wl during the day. haas, its tt bad. But not close to anyone in NTU (I don’t think I ever will) nor my roomie, so wells nothing much to talk about. Won’t be surprised if there was a day in NTU when I didn’t say a single word. But during mentoring, I was talking for most of the 1.5 hr. Amazed by myself.

Mentoring made my day! WheeEeE…=)
