Wednesday, August 25, 2010Being a teacher wasn't something i wanted when i was young...I could still remember vividly during my pre-school days, my teacher asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I replied "A lawyer". That was when i was 5. Years later, after i graduated with my O level, i thought of the same question again.. "Chemist". And i was very serious about it.. because my love for chemistry grew by the days. So much so that I took up a Diploma titled "Chemical Pharmaceutical Technology" but it wasn't what i wanted... Yet I completed my course with an above average results.. Just before i graduated from poly, my lecturer asked me.. "what do you want to do after this?" I replied very confidently "I can't wait to start work in the industry because i want to show the world what i can do..." I was bent on making a name for myself in the industry.. not as a chemist nor an engineer.. but rather in the Sales and Marketing line.. From my boyhood dream of becoming a lawyer to Sales was a 360 degree change... until i started taking up tutoring.. Ever since i started tutoring 4 years ago, i realised i'm being drawn into an amazing stage.. where my performance as a tutor will be closely watched... it was tough at first.. parents judged me on my age and my dress code.. but over time i managed to win their hearts and build a strong rapport with their kids.. I've had many students over the past few years.. some did exceptionally well.. while others nearly made it.. I'm proud of myself as a tutor.. and love my job as a role model .. As i'm nearing the end of my academic calender.. i asked myself this very same question again.. "what do i want to be when i have gotten my degree" It was a fight between a teacher and a sales manager .. Days ago, I've sent out an email to MOE inquiring about the programmes they have for Degree holders. I'm really happy that I do not have to go through the whole Diploma nor the BSc programme again as it will take 3 years and 4 years respectively. They have a Post Graduate Diploma for degree holders, but what worries me is the recognition of my degree. After all, i'm not a NTU, NUS or SMU undergrad. Their reply came back today, and their answer to that was simply a "grey answer". Nothing substantial. This really disappoints me. I guess i will be applying for the PGDE sometime in Feb next year.. and hopefully the answer will be a YES! Louis froze in time on 2:16 AM
