Called This as My First Experience

How does it feel when you do a job that you really like? It's fun, right?! Yeah, that's what I feel right now. Recently, I got a new job it has been a couple months. Still, teaching as an English teacher but the students that I was taught were difference. My students this time were Chinese. Yeah, for the first time when I started to teach them I was so nervous because we had a different culture. I had to adapt with them, yeah I  used my first week to make some approaches with them. Digging up what they liked, finding out the materials that they needed etc. Because that was my probation week. Hehe. You know that teaching kids we have to keep their good moods in order they can keep following our lesson. If we destroy their good moods, we will face some obstacles and we have to make their moods come back soon. Well, being a teacher is not easy, we have to make our students understand what we have been already taught and, for the bonus, they can earn the perfect score.
This is my first experience teaching a foreign students, and it's very challenging. I have to make adaptation with the Singapore curriculum. Our country has a different point of view for the materials that has been used in the curriculum with the Singapore. That's why I regard my teaching experience this time is so challenging. Besides, I have to adapt with their culture, I have adapt with their curriculum. Great! I really like my job this time. Every time, I have to push my brain to think. Making a plan, preparing for the worksheets, and thinking how to make the lesson fun. That's the three things that I have to prepare before I start to teach. Hehe though, sometimes I got stressed when I didn't find the match materials for teaching.
So far, I still can handle all the obstacles since I  can learn a lot from it. I'm glad inasmuch as  becoming their teacher for couple months they can accept me very well. The culture problem between us is no longer a big deal.. Alhamdulillah

You know being a teacher is insisting you to study harder. Thus, it's another way to make yourself smarter because you can't be foolish in front of your students, right?! Haha
Keep practicing, studying and keep listening...

Representation of White People in Two Maya Angelou's Novels 'I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings' and 'Gather Together in My Name'

Introduction   An autobiography is a book about the life of a person that written by that person (Wikipedia). I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings and Gather Together in My Name are the autobiographies of Maya Angelou. According to Microsoft Encarta (2009), Maya Angelou, is an American author, poet, performer, and civil rights activist, best known for portrayals of strong African American women in her writings. Characteristically using a first-person point of view and the rhythms of folk song, she writes of the African American woman’s coming of age, of struggles with discrimination, of the African and West Indian cultural heritage, and of the acceptance of the past. I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings is the first from six of her autobiographies. The title I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is one of the stanzas from the Afro-American poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. Maya used this title because the title symbolizes the black people. The Cage symbolizes the limitation and the Bird symbol...

Question, Lesson, Expectation, Thankfulness...

When I opened my eyes in the morning, I always thought about something. "Can I see the beautiful morning every day? Ah, who knows." That’s only a question and I didn’t really want an answer. I just wanted to send this cosmic question out into the void. I started the day with full of expectations, “What will happen today?” I wondered and expected that something good would happen. Because sometimes I wondered about my life, "I lead a small life. Well, valuable but small… I love my life." Formerly, I always regretted if I met someone that hurt me. I always wished that I never met such people like that. If I could turned back the time, I chose not to know them. But I was wrong, I ought to give my thank to them. I realized that they were taking the important part in my life. They have taught me being a tough woman and taught me being a better person than yesterday. I learned valuable lesson from my grandpa (RIP) and an elder woman. I met her in a hospital. ...

I called it "annoyance" haha!

Do you ever feel being underestimated by people? How does it feel? Angry?, Annoy?, maybe those can portray your feeling, because I feel the same as you. Some of people in my life always underestimate with the major that I take, uh! I hate that. When I met someone then he asked me, "What major do you take?" I said proudly "E. Dept". Then you know what? he showed such expression that I hated so much. And then he asked again "Why don't you take the engineering major or medical major?". *Oooohh God!, I really really hate such question like this, could they not to interfere with my decision?. It's my own decision, please appreciate! Sometimes, I wonder with all questions like that, what are they thinking about this major? Does it something wrong? huh?! If you have the question same as those questions, go to HELL ! ha ha *so mean! You never know what do we exactly learn about. We learn many things, more than you imagine. Without us, you never can communi...
