Alhamdulillah. It’s official now. Another reason to keep on learning and teaching with utmost fervour. Hopefully the new post will fuel me to be a better educator. It’s been a painstaking journey to get to where I am now. Struggling with work confirmation glitch for a couple of years, Being manipulated\u00a0 (due to my own inadequacies of standing up for my right), burnout, you name it, I faced them all. I was unhappy with the teaching profession at that time. I felt situations were not accomodating me at all. In a nutshell, I was a sad, frustrated teacher.<\/p>\n

Then one day, I picked up a book that totally changed the course of my life.<\/p>\n

M Scott Peck’s The Road Less Travelled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I realised blaming everyone and everything will not change the situations nor will it solve any issue that I face in life.\u00a0 From the book I’ve read, I realised that the only way things will change is when I think positive and initiate action to overcome any obstacles or challenges along the way. I can not sit around, twiddle my thumbs and wait for a miracle to happen. To be a great teacher, one must be a good learner. I’ve learned from my colleagues and my own students on how to improve my teaching methodology and make learning more meaningful for my students.<\/p>\n

I also learn that it is not easy to initiate a change, to do something totally out of your comfort zone. When I started doing the action research for the first time, I was at first sceptical on its effectiveness. When I realised how the project I did had maximised my students’ enthusiasm in learning by leaps and bounds, I was motivated.\u00a0 When I came across this blog<\/a>, I was totally in awe of Kak Rahmah’s dedication in teaching. Her positive attitude and optimism somewhat fueled me to emulate her fervour in teaching. She is my role model and I am glad that she is kind enough to share her knowledge with me. She triggered me to ride the unchartered waters and I dared myself to present paper at international conferences. I had inhibition of course (who would want to listen to me? \/ I’m not good enough) but\u00a0 I told myself, you got nothing to lose. The biggest demon is insecurities , to convince yourself that you need to perservere regardless of whatever criticism you might receive from others. Life is not all about perfection, it’s all about progress.<\/p>\n

It is inevitable to deny that it is a big responsibility to be a Guru Cemerlang\/Master Teacher. People have expectations upon you, watching your every moves and wanting mind-blowing results and outcomes. Personally, I hope to learn more and improve on my teaching skills. I hope to network with more teachers and nurture my students’ love for learning. I would also like to thank all of the followers & visitors of this humble blog. I have an ongoing mission : learn to teach with love \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
