Recharge

Monday is always a recharge for me, either physically or mentally after a hardwork in the weekends. Nevertheless, I almost wasted every Monday, watching TV, playing games and surfing blindlessly on the net. Sometimes, I will help to pay some bills after waking up and having my breakfast. And most of the time, playing with my pet cats and dogs and chatting with my mom relating the working experience and life experience.

I found that a day off is really not enough to boost me up. Especially when u work 2 job at the same time. It is really tiring, and make me really feel like having a vacation, leaving all the work loads behind. Working with children are fun, but with naughty one, they can really stranggle u, and stress u up *_* And, when u feel like scolding them, or hold their ear, well, that really doen't work for me. Cos, i don't feel like scolding them "really" into their face, and i only use the "minim-est" strengh to hold their ear. They are back to their normal way again after all the "effort" i've done. Unlike my collegue, whom is so experience in handling children (former kindergarten teacher). With a natural born "strict" appearance, and a "strict and firm" voice, all the children are really scare of her. Haha. I really try to learn from her; she is so professional indeed. But sometime, i think she is a bit too strict. Personally, i felt that she isn't really being observant enough, not saying that i am more capable in this, but, well, children are really emotional. In general, they are all same. But, they are all different individual from a different family background, education, teaching, culture and belief. Some of the time, i felt that her words are too harsh, even myself cannot bare it. I remembered a parent called and complain about that. In the end, the little girl choose to not having her to teach... I do not know how to say, but we did have a discussion after the incident occured... More motivation instead of scolding, unless they are being naughty, running around and never do their work.

I just wish to learn more about children's behavior, and how i can contribute to invest their future along this line. I hope i can do better from time to time, when i was here, working as a teacher ^-^

Brotherly Love

A 13 years old Sam, 11 years old Oscar and a 5 years old Dexter (oh yes, reminds me about the cartoon), they are brothers whom enjoy drawing and colorling very much. 5 years old Dexter is a kid full of curiosity, talkative, cute but naughty. He loves coloring oh yes, but he loves running around too, can't really concerntrate much when ask to sit and color an artwork. First, he will asked: "Teacher, look at this, my coloring very good hor?" Then, if I keep prasing him, he will do good at the beginning, and turn bad at the end of the class. It is because he thought that he is good enough and started to running around, distracting others in the class when I am teaching the others. I can't really stand him everytime, but a scolding is really not working on him. He will had this cute little smile when I try to scold him. My heart just melted when I look at that smile. He still do his own "routine" everytime he comes to the class. And, yesterday, he just got over the bridge and I just can't stand him, and pulled his ear. Poor thing, he got back to his seat, and started coloring with his "wetty" eyes/ I told him that he cannot go back 'til he finished his work today. At the end of the day, he managed to finish his work. But, a pull in the ear just now seems to be forgotten when the class is over.

He started to play in the office with the brothers when I am cleaning the class. (the mom came in late today, and the brothers stayed in the office while waiting for their mom to fetch them) One amazing thing really touched me. Dexter, automatically helped me to clean the class. When he saw me cleaning the table, he too, trying to use his hand, to collect the dust. Nevertheless, he put away my drinking bottle onto the other table, which had been cleaned. Then, when I try to sweep the floor, without hestitation, he quickly went and take the dustpin for me, pointing at the dust on the floor" Teacher, here got a lot of dust!" And, when the class is cleaned, he saw that the table in the office is dirty. (the surface is made from glass, therefore it is easy to collect stain as u can see) You know how Dexter wanna help to clean it? The little boy might watched too much cartoon that he use his own sliver to rub it with a tissue. I scolded him for being so dirty, and again, with his smile, quickly he threw away the tissue paper...

When all the cleaning is done, the boys started to play around. I can see that the 2 elder brothers love to bully him, but deeply, they have this brotherly love that really amazed me. Especially for a 13 and a 11 boys, normally, they don't care for the little one. But, they are different. By the time when their mom called, (the eldest brother own a hp) the 2 elder brothers quickly rush down, the intention is to "kacau" and "left behind" the little one. Dexter the 5 years old just cry out so loud because he do not know how to get down the stair. The 2 elder brothers quicly ran back, one helping to take the bag, and the eldest one carry him downstair, trying to comfort him.... That particular scene really touched me so much, and make me realized how important the love among sibling...
