Recently, the information and events at NIE have engulfed my mind. While I work through the registration and administrative procedures, I somehow have lost my focus. What is the true meaning of education? HOw do we manage classes? How can I be an effective teacher? Such questions have been in my mind for some time and I have not found any answer which is satisfactory.
Something struck me as I watched tv a few minutes ago. Education is Love. It is that urge to walk the journey with the little ones and support them as they built their own foundation. It is the urge to want to share their ups and downs that keep me going. WHen they are happy, I share their joy with them simply by standing aside and smiling. When they are sad, I want to lend them my shoulder to cry on and help them get through the challenges and make sense of life. Perhaps this basic principles will help me get through the challenges that are to come?
