It wasn't a very good day for me not just for myself but rather because really unpleasant stuff happened to 3 pupils, 1 has been at home for 2 days due to fever, another (my dear) was admitted to hospital last night due to high fever + vomitting + headache. The third one, sadly, lost his parent yesterday. I hope that the 2 who aren't feeling well will recover soon, which I know they will. However, I feel most sorry for the third pupil. At such a tender age, a child wouldn't know how to express his grief, unlike adults who might react with anger or frustration or even allow tears to help ease the pain. I worry for him because he's not good in his schoolwork and I dread to think how this could affect him emotionally even more.
As for me, someone hinted quite directly that I should be on time when taking her class for a lesson (which I only have with them once a week). I didn't know if she was trying to express her unhappiness or was she trying to be helpful. It's kind of difficult to fathom based on just her words and her tone. However, it's not possible for me to be on time since I have my own class before that and by the time I pack my stuff, bring my stuff back to the staffroom and walk to her class, it's already 10min pass the actual time.
Difficult to please everyone. Like I've said before, the whole world has expectations. I can't even meet my own so why should I try hard to please people? I'm trying very hard to cope, yet I don't see the level of understanding of certain people. Even today, the one higher up there said something that seemed to belittle what I'm doing all this time. That pissed me off even more.
I hope next week will be a better week for all the little ones and myself too.Labels: Work
