… and only one and a half left to go! Where did the time go? And what happened?
Standing in for my English mentor all of last week gave me a good idea of what life as an English teacher – particularly the one running the drama-related extra murals – was like. Honestly, I don’t know how one manages two compulsory curriculums at FET-phase. Very few people do, it seems. It is a bit of a frightening prospect that one could be employed with the expectation of managing three or four!
This past week was also a personal trial on many levels. Not only did I have to deal with my own issues of having to deal with colleagues who don’t seem to be as passionate about our work as I am, but I also had to try and find a way to help people see outside their own cages…
It was also a week of lovely highlights, affirmations and good old fun!
This was a week I will have to hold on to in days to come.
It helps to know why one teaches, and even more so to feel appreciated for it.
