Thank God for good Christian teachers

I saw this on one of my favourite teacher's (Tan Lay Leng) blog. It really inspired me to be a good teacher like her.

3）巨大的心意“Miss Tan, you are dearly missed!”
“Miss Tan is going for the gathering?! OMG! I can’t wait!”
“Miss Tan, you are always our favourite teacher! All these years you are not forgotten!”

十六年了！1993 年这些家伙是小学里高头大马的小八生。是小八。不是小六。他们升不了中学，必须留在小学多两年。其他的小学生对他们是又怕又有一种不可捉摸的感觉。连没教他们的老师也怕他们几分。可他们是我教书以来最疼爱，最特别的一班了！有人情味，肯努力，重义气。我教得很过瘾。

就快见到他们了。紧张得很。好比要去第一次的约会。

I happened to be one of her students then in 1993 in class 8B. Yes it is 8 extended in Primary School. This was because I failed my English in Primary 5, therefore I was 'demoted' to Primary 7 extended then. You probably won't heard of Primary 8 unless you are in my era! Thank God that I was motivated to study hard and I went into Secondary school express course. I came to a conclusion. Good teachers will motivate students to study well and he/she will be remembered by them after many years had passed!

Thank God for looking after our Nation and my work so far!

Today is Singapore 44th Birthday. Not only I want to thank God for keeping Singapore safe, having clean and green environment, excellent transport system, I also want to thank God that we can have the freedom to worship Him in Singapore. I also thank God for helping me in my work so far. Almost months had past since I am appointed as an Allied Educator. Thank God that I am still coping well with my work.

Thank God that I enjoyed teaching primary school students and also learning new things from my mentor. Thank God for a good mentor! She is that kind of person that don't really shout at students. Her teaching style really makes me respect her and I idolize her sometimes haha. She is also handling a difficult class. I often amazing at how she can handle her class so well. It of course comes with many years of experience. One sad thing is that she may be leaving next year. I hope that she can still stay on and I can continue to learn from her.

Thank God I also started to teach music last week. It is not easy to teach students music and to make the lesson interesting. However, I think it is a good training ground for me now. I prayed that I will be close to God. I struggled with my spiritual life recently. God sent me test after test. May I be found faithful to Him! Lord please keep me!
