SNIPPETS : TEACHING INTERNSHIP 📒

It's crazy how instead of talking and worrying about an upcoming quiz like before, we now talk and worry about what kind of job we are going to look at and to anticipate after graduating. I would say life is starting to hit us in a different way.

I started talking with my friends about more serious matters making us stop for a while as realization that we've entered adulthood for real hits. It's kinda funny actually.

Am I scared of the thought? I don't think so, probably because I have something fixed in my mind already. I know that some things may not work how you envisioned it to be, but at least I have something that would somehow be the basis of my future decisions in life. I may take a detour at some point, but I definitely don't see myself being in a place I don't want to.

I guess this is just how Leos navigate life in general? Or maybe it's just my own take on life hahaha. I'm kinda stubborn and I hated being dictated that it makes me wanna rebel at some point hahaha so I'll mark my word to it!

My internship is coming to an end! It has been a journey and I won't deny the fact that I've enjoyed every bit of it. I've encountered different types of people in my students, talked to them, shared whatever I have from bodies of knowledge, values, etc. And I know that I would have done none of these if I hadn't chosen this course.

I am so grateful to be able to return to my Alma Mater with a different role, reuniting with my teachers who showered us with support right from the start, and with my close friends who've also taken a similar path at the moment. I also made new acquaintances that I am so happy about.

The feeling of nostalgia mixed with new emotions as I stand in the same classrooms which witnessed my growth as a student just made my experience during this internship a hundred times better.

Pouring efforts in preparing my lessons and in making my students happy never became a hard task but rather it just came out naturally from the heart.

I am so grateful for all of these wonderful people surrounding me, they made my life better. They say that you gotta learn to stand on your own and not depend on others like your friends!

Well, I understand the idea, but you know what? Why do we have to act like we're alone when in fact we can all just learn to be independent together. It is possible to learn how to stand on our own while leaning to the people we love. Yes, it is truly possible.
