discouraged again


For the second time within 24 hours, I walked out of another EL class dejected.
Yes, you read that right, dejected.

I'm really trying very hard with these classes of mine.
I'm not expecting results, I only expect them to try in EL class.
Is 'trying' too much to ask for as well?

And I always beared in mind that "Students do not care how much I know until they know how much I care."
Did I not 'care' enough?
Am I not showing enough 'care'?

I think I'm such a joke.
All the late nights put into churning out this set of materials about YOG, what did I stay up for?
YOG, does it really matter to them? Does it really matter what is going on in Singapore?

I don't think so.
Indeed, such a joke.


This is my table.


This bookmark is placed on my table, and I see it it everyday.
So what if I label them 'success stories'?
They look down on themselves, that is half the battle lost.
They don't even bother trying, that is the other half of the battle lost.


I'm going to try again.
My deadline, 19th August 2010; and I'll decide if I should request to have them again.
Maybe, they don't need a joke like me afterall...
