Ever since work began last wednesday, I've noticed myself really looking forward to mornings, wherein Id wake up early and get myself ready to work. I think my attitude towards work comes with the new year ushering new resolutions and new hopes. This new year, I would want to change my work habits-in terms of coming to school earlier than usual and finishing my tasks ahead of time. The passion to work with kids and to experience each new day with them is still there- and I believe its escalating to greater heights, wherein there is simple and pure joy that I feel everytime I go to work. It's actually hard to explain, but there is this certain sense of excellence that I would want to put all the time, its a virtue that I have hold unto since I was a kid.:)
Just last monday, I felt quite queer as I wasnt that enthusiastic in finishing my tasks for work. Maybe it must be the weather or the thought that summer is about to come. Then, I had to re-do a portion of our assessment for my other class since most of them needs to be reassessed since their skills during the asssessment aren't consistent with their daily performance.. our directress decided to re-do it, which means added work for this week.
I never had problems in terms of work load, in fact, I would even find it joy whenever a lot of tasks are assigned to me. I guess, I ve been accustomed to having tons of work to do way back in college, and that now at work, whenever tasks are given to me, I see them as a challenge and not a burden. That is why, when I was told that I had to do the assessment again, I didnt complain at all, even if I felt that there was no use to re-do it again, still I had to comply with the standards of the school and what our boss had decided.
The burden that I have now is more out of physical exhaustion. My 2nd class has really been extra hyper these days and it just pains me that I do not have much energy and at times, patience for them. What do I do about it?
I am more challenged with this. The more I have learned that patience is indeed a virtue and that the more I learn new things from other people, the more I realize that there are many things that I have yet to learn and to discover and to master.
I may be physically tired, and emotionally tired too, but then I hold unto the promise that God is the only one who can be my source of strength.
