This morning I woke up to a nightmare. An unusual one, because I had a baby. The baby came out of me(!!). Totally freaked me out because the baby did looked like me when I held her in my arms.
I'm gonna take it positively, so I'm guessing that it's a sign that I have a big responsibility coming ahead of me.
Oh yeah, a weird feeling throughout the day is that I feel that there is a person out there who needs my help, or at least, someone who just need to hear my comforting words. I think.. having another human being to support you is a basic need that we all yearn for.
A suddent thought came, of a Primary 6 girl who can't even do multiplication when I was doing some voluntary work a while ago. I wonder what happens to her now.. did she really get through her UPSR? She was a quiet girl who wouldn't admit her weakness to me. All I got was short answers from her mouth. I guess she lacks the confidence of her fellow classmates, which was further proved when I looked over that she's actually the last in her class.
I remember feeling real sorry for her because she can't seem to shake off her anxiety with math. It's not like she doesn't have the intelligence, but she suffers from not remembering her multiplication tables when she's anxious of not getting the answer within the time that all her friends have. She'd bite her lips and twiddle her pencil when she starts guessing the answer. She thought I didn't know, but I can see it entirely that she's having a hard time figuring it out. I was disappointed that I could not make her stop 'guessing' when it is more important that she remembers or even understand multiplication.
Anyway, I hope I can improve my teaching skills and further help children like these in the future. So waking up today, I felt that I was born to save as many lives as I can. I'm ready to reach out my hand and give all I have in the name of love.. chewwah. I'm looking forward to do more voluntary work, so please e-mail me to find if I'm available for your project!
The nightmare kinda put a smile on my face.. because it's too funny. :)
