on monday, Mr Neo gave me the opportunity to teach his class. While i might say that I would have preferred to teach macro economics, im glad i was made to teach the PPC and the concept of scarcity. it taught me to adjust and adapt. after all, its all part of the job. being professional is doing something in spite of your initial lack of confidence or even a liking for the topic. i managed to overcome my fear once i started speaking in front of the class. somehow, the fear disappeared just like that. my focus was to deliver my lesson properly. it was my very first try and it was really awesome. :)

Mr Neo commended me for my confidence and diction after the lesson and said that I should slow down when i speak. hahaa it was the normal pace in which i speak but i soon realised that its different when ure teaching. appropriate pauses have to be made.

there are so many things that i would like to do as a teacher. to help make their studying of economics easier, to help them work towards their vision in life. to help them realise that they have so much more potential that they realise sometimes.

yet, that one lesson made me realise how this is not so easy after all... it involves thinking on your feet, phrasing your words properly such that criticisms do not kill dreams...

im still finding my way.

Hopefully MOE will deem me worthy of the teaching scholarship:)
