Aloha..how are you, people??
I'm doing ok but quite nervous because my 1st class for this semester will start tomorrow morning at 9. huhu surprisingly, i haven't photostat my class structure for both subjects. I guess I'm too busy with the Gala dinner that our team will organize this coming Thursday, that i neglected many other things that i suppose to do this week. Mm thank God the class starts at 9, so i think i have ample time to do the job^-^
Well, did i tell u that I've already move to my department?=D
Somehow i think that its good that I've moved on with my life..and I'm very grateful to have a good, nice people around me that always gives me the welcoming smile whenever i feel really hopeless with something or SOMEONE!
Mm I have a story to share with you people..
Last week i have a mentor-mentee session with my students, it is sort of like student-academic advisor relationship which many universities are doing for academic purpose. The different with the one we are having at the college is that, we, the lecturers are just not guiding them for academic purposes..we are also responsible to groom their behaviour into beautiful manners and spend some quality time with them whenever we can. We also share their problems, ups and downs, lead them to become a good person. In other words, i'm just not their mentor..i am sort of like their mother in the college..huhu or maybe they can call me their sister ??(budget diri muda sangat..hehe betol la, i baru 22..hahaha).
Well, it sure sounds like a very tough job, isn't it??
All i can say is that it is a tough job..!
Back to the mentor mentee sessions that i have last week on Thursday, it is my first time meeting my mentee (my so called sons and daughters)..hehe. I'm a bit nervous meeting them in the 1st place because the first meeting last week is where i should advise them on the classes they need to register this semester. For the cleared paper students, i don't have any problems because they can just sign up for the class they want according to the online systems. My greatest horror is to face the repeaters..i have 3 students that failed their papers last semester and now they have to repeat the paper again.
And while I'm busy checking their results, one of the repeater's mother wants to see me. Uuu I'm so nervous to meet the parents. I don't even know these students, i never teach them. How am i going to explain to the mother, why her son failed 2 papers?
Huhu thank God the mother seems to be calm enough when she decides to see me. I can't remember how many hours it takes to sit together with the student and his parents to discuss his problem. But I'm glad we did discuss it together. This way, i get to know the students and his family better. And I'm hoping that we get a better idea on how to solve problems, not just asking why it happens that way.
I'm giving my best to help these sons and daughters of mine in whatever problems they have. Pray for me!=)
