It amazes me that I have laid off blogging for more than a month and this is the first one this year. Well, I entered 2007 with an anxious heart, both concerned about what I want to do as well as what course of studies my boys will be embarking on. I was just praying about whether to go back to school to teach when the call came for me to be an adjunct teacher in a nearby school. Of course I was excited. I was eager to try it out for 8 weeks and see if I can cope, not knowing that my patience would be put to the test. I soon found that I had to teach a group of 10 to 11 nine-year-olds who are both weak in Math and English. I just cannot figure out why some of them have no concept of numbers and place values. It is very trying for me to make simple addition sums easy for them to work out. I have to pray every day that I would not lose my temper with them when they just cannot follow the lesson.
