i'm suffering from pathlight withdrawal syndrome! i will need alot of time to get over it :x
i have some problem with farewells, partings and letting go. no closure :(
why is it always like that!!! :'(
this week has been fun, and a little bit sad.
wed went for outing to changi airport with pp kids, and their excitement was so genuine and contagious, i got pretty excited too :)
was attached to dear e_e_ for the trip, never felt so much like a nanny.
food, wet tissue, dry tissue, colour pencils, crayons, stress ball, bluetack, plastic bag (just in case someone pukes. c_s_y did eventually puke from running too, but she puked all over the floor >.<)
the wonderment and curiosity that children have are an amazing quality. it's something that everyone unfortunately lose as they grow older and become nonchalant about everything.
dear boy e_e_ had so many questions and was so curious about everything. what a lovable boy, his smile totally melts hearts :D
ahhhhh i'm going to miss his good morning ms chuas coupled with the cute smile where the corners of his eyes will crinkle :))
i'm so going to miss holding little kids' hands and nanny-ing them! endearing children :D
i must admit, initially i wasn't too thrilled with having to switch to pp and i was sad about having to leave my t3 class, but after almost 2 months in pp, the kids have really captured my heart! :)) and it has made my experience in pathlight all the more fufilling.
thurs was last day with the students, at least it wasn't my last day in pathlight, so it's not that bad a shock for me. it's weird how i have been anticipating this day for so long, but partings are still hard for me.
had a track 3 farewell at noon, the video recordings of the students saying farewell totally made me cry. so lousy eh, i think i'm too sentimental. my fav big boy was so stressed out with the changes and the whole t3 together in one room, he didn't let me take a photo with him :(
that said, i hope the farewell party provided some sort of closure to them, so next term when they finally realise that farewell=we are not around, they won't take to the changes too hard.
it was the first time someone said goodbye and thank you message from a script and repeated after a teacher, but i was really touched by it all the same. i know he tried his best, ahhh i'm going to miss his happy-ness and skipping :)
hehe the farewell party was pretty funny, i wondered how many of them actually understood we were leaving. all of them were so happy!
i went late for pp support and i walked in on my class writing a thankyou message to me, HAHA.
next week will be my official last week, awwwwwww :( so many things i'll miss about pathlight!
it was a good decision to apply for the internship, i still remember my interview, i thought i was a goner cos my interview was so short, less than half hour. i'm not much of a talker :x
but nevertheless i got accepted, and i'm so so thankful for it! other holiday jobs experiences couldn't have been compared to THIS.
isn't it funny how we don't treasure what we have until we lose it?
& all along, its only what I thought.
