This is my final sem!! And i'm taking 6 modules, of all the semesters! I think i would really enjoy my modules even though it's tough trying to handle 4 core modules. If i don't enjoy it now, i might have another chance in another 3 years at least. Well, people are starting to ask what am i going to do after graduation! I'm like maybe nie or Nparks, i'm wondering if it's because i don't have a choice or i really want to.
Actually, i would say my DREAM job is work as a park ranger in any national park overseas, simply becos i love being in nature! On the other hand, i've been thinking about teaching ever since i'm year 1, asking my relative teacher for opinion and advice every CNY. On part of me is really drawn to education because i believe it has the influence to bring real changes. Changes to promote conservation, not just the typical recycling but also reduction of carbon footprint and awareness+passion for the environment.
I was really affected about what my prof said about teachers in singapore. He said that they're inferior teacher who destroy the passion for learning and the curiosity of learning. It really struck me. I totally agree with him, learning it fun and learning by rote are vast worlds apart. One develops a person into thinking/passionate individuals while the latter may just be a exam machine. I ask a ex-teacher about what i want of it everything, she said teaching is totally not what i thought it was. Teachers are taken for granted in term of the amount of work they 've to do, may not be for teaching. I feel that teaching would not be the primary priority anymore, not even students.
Then, my super interest prof did another sharing today. He said that choices have to be made not only based on interest but also value- to myself and others. Only decision based on true values would allow us to persevere when we meet obstacle. Another learning point;) If i ever become a teacher, i really hope to become like prof ip.
