The wait...

I have sent in my application to MOE and also wrote them an email to explain my situation. I hope that everything goes well. For the past few days, I have been worrying if I would be able to go into teaching. ( This is me, the worrying kind of person.) But there is nothing I can do except wait and pray hard that things will run smoothly. So I thought, maybe I could put down my thoughts into writing.

Teaching is something which I want to do and do for life. I want to be a specialist rather than a generalist. Being someone who cares too much for the development of others, I think, I am more suited to be in the teaching industry.

My concern is that MOE may find me unsuitable or not good enough for them. Singapore's education system has come to such a stage that they are rich enough to "buy" teachers from the top universities. They need not employ people like me who is everywhere. Local graduates with a few years of working experience. And who do not possess a First Class honors.

I only hope that they see the benefits of my experience living overseas and my diplomas, and that I am keen on this profession to give me the opportunity.

Dear God,

I pray that I would be given the chance to make a difference in the lives of the young ones so that they may move on to be the best they can be. I pray that I may be off assistance to those who need it to progress through life's challenges. These I ask from the bottom of heart.

In the name of the Father, the son and the holy spirit, Amen.
