The beginning of the fourth week

Today is Monday. It is the beginning of the fourth week after my interview with MOE. I am still waiting and hoping that I can be accepted into the teaching profession. Thoughts of it pop up in my head every other minute. I think about how I can communicate with the little ones. I think about how I can make lessons interesting. I think about the activities that i can organize for the little ones. I think about how to accommodate other priorities in my life to fit in with the hours of the school system. I think about the career development paths that would be available in the education industry. I think about how I can upgrade myself so that I can be a more effective teacher not only in the classroom. I think about how I can deal with students facing difficult and challenging situations. THe list goes on.

But all these will just be dreams if I am not accepted. I have been praying so hard and hoping so hard but I have not heard anything from MOE. And there is nothing much that I can do now other than wait. I just hope that I can hear good news soon.

Dear Lord

The past few weeks have thought me that patience is a virtue and I should learn to take things in my stride. I have tried to learn from this experience and reflect on life. There are other things which demand my attention and focus other than this one thing. I have done what I could and hence, I should learn to put my faith in the Lord and trust that the Lord would do the rest for I know that I am progressing in a path which is destined for me.

Thank you Lord for the lesson taught. Thank you for teaching me to accept things that I cannot change, yet change the things that I can for a better future.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
