New beginning.. i am waiting for inputs from you guys..
It hit me today, how this is really going downhill. Feeling a tad helpless. No one's really blogging and updating tasklist anymore. Probably only silly me. I don't know why I am still doing it, probably just the faith that this will influence you? My belief that I have to do & show to influence? Must push comes to shove?? Anyhow, many times, I just felt incompetent to lead this group, and it is as if it's a personal effort to push. Why are you guys waiting?? Is it that I do not demand? Enforce? My nature of leading by example is definitely not inspiring. It hit me that day, AC when you replied "it's not helping me...." when I asked about the blogging and tasklist. I appreciate the reply. It goes to show, this is just not working out, and no one's saying it.
I do not wish to call it quits. I do believe that this will help. Or at least, I hope. Creating the environment can help this much, and I do need the support too if this is gonna carry on. I urge all to start from within. If you truly think this is crap, say it. Pls do not go through the motion, or just avoid this anymore. It's four here, not one.
ok, ranted enough. I had sent the tracking list by the time you read this. And what I had just done is not about going through the motion. I do feel stretched too, yet truly want to do the best I can. This responsibility for growth on all is big, HUGE. I need the strength, reaffirmation from you pple that you still want to be in this together. I know it can be draining at times, and we all have things overwhelming, get lost in our own stuff at times, get tired along the way etc. Yet, all I want is for us to share, to stretch together and download any challenges. We are not even talking. really. and sometimes, I do not know where to start too, so, pls, speak your mind. Maybe our natures is really a support group, the tracking is not our style, i really don't know.
I probably getting too emo on this. Maybe a pang of thoughts. well, it got to start somewhere, I think there's no better time than now to let my thoughts flow and be open about how I feel.
Speak pls.
Heya!
Blogging time - just some time to reflect on my week and I realised that my ass had been kicked by A.S.S (more so than the students!). It's been more hectic than normal lessons as I was going (almost) crazy with the influx of students taking the level up! There was literally no gap between students and it was like mega 1x1 consecutively, back to back, sometime, 6 students at one time, and up to 4 different levels/topics at a go! Xiong!
Yet, I would say it was worth it. I believed that no one, no one had ever pushed these groups of students to 90%. Very few had ever experienced at their current level, how it's like to be holding >90%. Yet, we did it. It's amazing! Their faces of relief and joy, that they had done it is my reward.
I can now understand the saying "when you demand on others, you demand much more from yourself". When I demand that 90% from them, I am literally demanding 101% from myself. I am happily exhuasted. Time to sleep!
