Tonight (4th july) i went to Agape shelter --an orphanage home with friends. Everyone of us will bring a dish there and we got ard 10 dishes!!! After we enjoyed the dinner, we played games with the children there. The children enjoyed themselves but i dont really. I found that it's kinda hard for me to get along with the children. Is this what we called 'Generation Gap'? Oh my God, i am only 26 years old, and i already experienced generation gap??!!! what happened to me?
This really worries me!!! This year is my second year of teaching, actually i am bored with the paper work and also the school admin work. i HATE doing all these things but at least for now i feel happy to go to school because i enjoy getting along with my students. I am 26 and they are only 17, although having a gap of 9 years but i still manage to get along with them. To me, the most exciting part of being a teacher is to mix ard with my students.
But, imagine 10 years later when i turn 36 years old, my students are still 16/17 years old. They are young and i am old, is it tht i will experience the same feeling as what i felt in Agape shelter just now? NoNo, i dont want tht kind of feeling! But what can i do? Can i escape on it? i hope so, i really hope so...
At first it should be a happy gathering but how come i am feeling down??? Again i have to ask myself: Am i thinking too much???

It is obvious that you are letting your mind running too far!
ReplyDeleteI think it's the dance which makes you chicken feet!
Things aren't that bad. What make you feel contented now may not be the one that give you the same kind of satisfaction many years later. Age is not going to be the obstacle as 10 years later, you can still mix with your students with your new role as a guide and loving-mom =)
Indeed we need motivation to keep moving on. I myself find this path a hard one to move on. But, if we were not to sacrifice, who will? It will be even worse if we put the future of the next generation to those 2nd senior (you know WHAT I mean).
Do not mix your work with your private life. Work is work and there is never a full stop for it. Being too responsible is not a good thing. Perfectionist way of working is not suitable in our working environment. It is sad to admit that we have to learn to protect ourselves and push away those which are out of our ability. Being selfish is not only good for ourselves, but also try to save unnecessary chaos if what is give to us is unable to achieve the standard that people pin on us.
Work smart, play hard. That is what I always believe in.
Cheer up, friend! Jom let's go makan-makan to release the stress. Haha...
Thanks for ur comment.I know i shouldnt mix my work with the my private life. Recently, i realised tht: 为别人而活快乐就得靠别人；为自己而活快乐就无处不在。And i totally agree to u tht: with working environment like this if we care too much then we will either end up 累死or 气死. Anyway, thanks for ur concern. I will be alright...
