Two weeks ago, I made my way to marina boulevard to attend a career seminar on pre-school teaching. There, i enlisted myself for an early childhood traineeship programme sponsored by NTUC first campus. They're offering this scheme in a bid to hire more qualified teachers due to the rising standard demands of MOE and also to help upgrade locals who are interested but don't meet the pre-requisites. As per norm, opportunities don't jus come falling from the sky and in this case, candidates are required to go through a selection process afterwhich only shortlisted ones will be chosen to attend the 3 year diploma course under RTRC Asia, fully covered by the company. Yesterday, I had a 1 day attachment trial with one of their pre-schoolers' centre located in AMK and now, i find myself head over heels in love with the children! My schedule was divided into two parts that day. The toddlers ranging from 18-30 months in the morning and the K1s and 2s for the second half. Little ones were superrrr adorable and the big ones were one rowdy bunch i tell you, goodness!hehe. But as a whole, they all managed to capture my heart nonetheless. I'm enchanted by their every antics and though they could go real haywire at times, i still find myself having a soft spot reserved for them. It's just miraculous how i could get sooooo attached to them in just one day and funny part was, how i cried as i recounted the moments i had with them while narrating the story to my family.haha! ridiculous? I know! I couldn't help it, i just felt a tinge of misery in me for having such little time with them..hmm. Well aniwae, have i mentioned dat the attachment was part of their assessment in picking out potential applicants? Yup, it is and i sure do hope they're convinced about me, at least i think i handled the children pretty efficiently.hee. I'l be informed of their conclusion sometime end february so now, i'm just resigning myself to fate. Pray that it'l be good news pls ya! Insya'allah, amin. ;)
