Embark on Lpat

Two weeks ago, I catched up with a TUF alumni who gave me some useful advice. She suggested me to take the Lpat exam so I did. 

I originally planned to take the DSE English exam and aimed to get 5*. I don't think this goal is easy to achieve, and passing the Lpat exam is much difficult than getting 5* in DSE. I feel stressed. 

Right now, I need to focus on improving my English and studying for my exam. Therefore, I plan to write random blog entries to sharpen my English writing skills. 

If you ever spot any grammatical mistakes in my writing, please let me know. I will be delighted to hear from you. Thank you

The Education System Failed Me. Now I Want to Fix It.

I love writing my thoughts and sharing them with people. Yet, it has been a year since I wrote my last blog post, even though I thought I could maintain a habit of writing monthly when I started. I guess I was just too naive back then. Clicking open my blog today, my mind flew back to writing that very first entry. It was not long after I started mentoring that I began writing here. It saddens me that the mentoring program ended long ago. It has been a month since it ended, and I left the school over seven weeks ago. The fact that today is the 1st of September — the day the new school year begins, is painful. It is a stark reminder that I have to officially say goodbye to that chapter of my life, and that my path will likely never cross with my previous students again.  Why did I join Teach Unlimited Foundation, a non-profit education organization, at the beginning? It was because I was desperate to make a change. I wanted to make things better and cultivate a sense of happiness in...

The end of the year 2 induction training month

Times flies! I can't believe it has been 3 months since my last attempt to update this blog. It takes hours to reflect and write something. Moreover, writing in a second language takes work. Therefore, I barely update this blog.  My latest blog post draft was the first thing I saw when I logged in to this blogger account. I am quite surprised that I actually tried to write a blog entry during the last few months. I kind of wish I could go back in time to when I drafted that post as I no longer remember what I was thinking at that time. Starting the year 2 journey makes me feel so grown up. Firstly, Linda, who I consider a sage in this organization and one of my main sources of security, is leaving us. Secondly, during this year's induction training month, we went to an event, where we had a chance to meet other youth workers and build connections with them. There, I exchanged my business cards with others like the real adults do and it was the first time I have ever done so. I...

Childish happiness

Image
Since graduating from university, I have worked with teenagers as my target service group. My older colleagues on the previous team often advised me to project a more mature image in front of the teens. They emphasized that I should avoid showing any indication of liking toys, children's stories, or other items typically associated with youth. Honestly, I find it exhausting to pretend I don't enjoy those types of things that many adults still appreciate. It has led me to ponder why certain simple pleasures become linked with being immature as one ages. Yesterday, I visited a bookshop and grabbed a few Little Miss books. I'm at a loss for words to describe the sheer joy I experienced while reading those children's books. The stories may be simple, but they overflow with imagination and entertainment. How can anyone not appreciate these books? We all crave inspiration that pushes us to think outside the box, don't we? Moreover, the characters are exceptionally well-cr...
