| This blog has pretty much been abandoned by me in the past 3 months, I actually didn't have anytime to do anything other than lesson planning and going on Facebook to try to escape from lesson planning! I can't believe I am actually done! 2 years of hard works have all ended a few days ago, I am now officially graduated from my BEd degree, and need to look for a job pretty soon! It's been an awesome two years, I have learned a lot, and I can't believe I am really a teacher now! When I look back, I can see God's guidance along the way, He is truly amazing and I am excited to see where is He leading me to next! Lots of things happening lately, our family has finally decided to get a condo, and we will be neighbors with Siu Lyn and Siu Doo!! This is exciting! This will be a very noisy neighborhood! We have put in the offer, we need to talk to some bankers to get the financing stuff set up, then if everything goes well, we will be moving in the new place in August! Honestly, I can't wait to have my own room again! I will need to start planning on how to get all my stuff fit into that tiny room though! I have been feeling a bit strange lately, need the Lord's strength to help me get through some situations. Somehow I feel that I created a situation for myself to get over... It's just something I know I have to do, but it takes some time to accomplish. But I know I just have to do it, in order for me to follow God's lead. I just pray that it won't take long, although it won't be an easy thing to do! I want to take some mandarin courses, anyone knows where is a good place to go for this? May be I should ask Pastor Nie to let me volunteer in the mandarin bible study class in U of A, so I can improve on my mandarin also! So much that I want to do, I want to go to PEI for a short mission trip over the summer, but it all depends on the process of my job search! Anyhow, I will talk to Dennis tomorrow for some more details, want to do more for God, coz I really think I haven't been doing enough for Him in the past! | | |
| I am killing time in the computer lab right now, I have an apppointment to go over my evaluation with my faculty supervisor at 4... I wish I have brought my laptop so I can work on my presentation for tomorrow! Oh my goodness! 2 years of hard works are coming to an end tomorrow! Tomorrow is my last day of school, I only need to do one final presentation about my practicum experience, then I am totally done with this degree! I can't believe it! It's just awesome to be finishing soon (again!) I will probably keep upgrading myself, but not going back to school full time probably in the next few years! Need to find a job soon, I am actually a bit excited to see where is God leading me to this time! Will I stay in Edmonton? Or to other city in Canada? Or will I be ending up going oversea to teach afterall? I am not too sure about where I am going, but I am pretty sure that I am in God's good hands! My practicum has been well, I miss the kids so much though! I can't stop thinking about all the silly things they have said and did, I miss seeing their smiling faces! I am glad that I get to work with kindergartners in my 3 months practicum, I really love them! And I am very sure that's the grade I want to work with in the future! I am really hoping that I will end up teaching kindergartners the rest of my life, just like how my mentor teacher did! I learned so much from her, she is so experienced! Although she is quite picky, but she meant well! I am glad that God put me in her classroom, and I have learned a lot from her! My allergy is killing me lately, I have allergy symptoms all over me, rashes everywhere, especially my back and my arms! What's going on? I don't even know what I am allergic to... This is so weird, even after I took reactant, it still reacts, especially during late night! I wish I know what's bugging me and I can stay away from that, but too bad I am still not sure! I have never had allergy reactions before, where did this all suddenly come from? | | |
| I can finally have a little break tonight, practicum has been crazy, no time to sleep at all! We have teachers' convention tomorrow and on Friday, I will need to go back to King's to work with my professor on some lesson and unit planning, I am glad that she is here to help me out! I was totally stressed out and she offered to help, I am glad that I entered King's, the way they support their student teachers is just outstanding, I bet U of A probably can't provide that! I need to use these 4 days wisely, I have a lot of things that I need to get done! But when I look at my calendar, I actually only have 3 more weeks of teaching left, yet there are still so much to do!!!!!!! I was totally overwhelmed last week, doubting God's calling for me to become a teacher! I am still finding my way, but I am glad that God taught me one thing, which is nothing comes easy! Hardship and hard work does not mean God is telling me this is not His will, but He sets the bar high and want me to grow by doing my best and going through all the difficulties! I am hoping that I can one day become an excellent teacher, who can help my students to learn lots, and most importantly, to learn about God! Beside trying to survive in the practicum, I was trying to figure things out in other areas in my life too, lots of things to think about! Like should my family get a new condo now? What kind of job should I look for after I grad? Will I be able to find a job? Should I look for jobs in daycare again or should I aim higher to try elementary school? Should I stay in Edmonton or go somewhere else like Calgary? I don't know the answer to all these questions, all I can do is do my best in my practicum, and see where God leads me after that! Having faith in God is so important, yet this is the thing I struggle the most with everyday! May God gives me strength and guide my ways in all areas in my life! | | |
