Its been a week since the second term of my second year has started. Everything seems so quiet and smooth so far. I've been trying to focus on my 3 students; ignoring the fact that I was told last term that R & A are coming back to me. Finally. I've seen it coming.
So what I did is: prepare their IEP's, which by the way are the same ones of last year since they have forgotten ALL what I taught them and became even worse. What I need to do now is sit back, relax, and wait for my director to open up the subject with me soon.
Students UPDATE:
- G has shown remarkable progress this year. She's such a cute fast learner who's eager to learn everything new! Well, everything other than language and communication skills. Thats her weakness.
- H is also amazing in terms of understanding new concepts and terms related to cognitive skills. But she's struggling so much with her physical movement because of gaining weight. Thats an issue I'm supposed to discuss AGAIN with her parents.
- M. Until now, I did not notice any improvement with him in all areas. Its so hard to work with him since he has very limited cognitive skills at the moment. I'm not sure if I'll ever achieve anything by the end of this year, which might actually cause little problems.
Career UPDATE:
I think I'm happy where I am right now. I thought, for a while, that teaching wasn't what I wanted. But when I got the chance to leave, I just couldn't. At the moment, teaching is my passion. Its changing me to be a better person, which would definitely affect my professional development much more than those so-called workshops that the ministry sends me to. I'm still learning every single day, even if I don't really notice it. Teaching makes me a happy person, and that's why I need to continue teaching and stop worrying about the future.

As I mentioned before, people who are meant to teach can never leave. Whatever they do over time, they'll always find themselves being pulled back.
I'm very very optimistic judging G's performances and am really looking forward to seeing her improvement more and more everyday. She reminds me of a very enthusiastic person i know and i hope one day G will be able to go out on her own and achieve things no one imagined she would :) Allah ywafegha
As for the other students, you seem like you've worked so hard with them and seeing all that fade away is very PAINFUL ! But, on the other hand, now that they're back you can make sure they get back to their potential levels of last year soon.
I love your hardwork and I love reading about the development of the kids :) i really look forward to one day work with them.. maybe in a work environment
Allah ywafegch.. Do what you do best because I know you can make a difference :)
S2
good luck in everything huni :)
S2: Yes I do admit that teaching is different than any other career one can ever choose. Every single day is a new day for me. I'm moving around all the time, and on my feet all day. I'm dealing with a very special group of children whom I grew to be so attached to them!! So that sums up the reasons why I couldnt leave.
And yeah you're right, G's progress is amazing and very noticeable. My very main goal for her is to have her own life later on and not to depend on others. I believe in her.
As for my other lost 2 students, you'll get to read more about them =) so I'm gonna leave my comment about that on hold.
You really should try spending sometime with them. Working with such students is so inspiring in ways that I cannot even describe. Its an experience that you should live and not read about. And inshallah you will get the chance to soon =)
Thanks for everything.
Sarooy: Thanks :)
I really appreciate your hardworking article writing skills. Butterfly Garden
