Passion: Teaching

I still remember when abah mama asked me to apply education course after SPM and not forget, after matriculation too. okay. That time, seriously we had a hugeee argument because i didn't want to. I really dont have intention to study in education course. I wanted to be QS. That's all i thought.

I still remember, after few years (almost 2 years kot??) in QS which is i was so in love, i decided why not i try something new?? Something that is different from QS?? So i choose to further my Master in Education. It was not an easy decision to make at first because at that time, my career as a QS was stable. The colleagues were so good to me. But for me, further study is something good. I can gain valuable knowledge. Then, i applied Master in Technical and Vocational Education. QS is something in technical practice. So this is not so different. From this new thing, i learnt about how can i manage the class?? What teaching aid should i choose? What teaching method should i select? How can i be a good teacher?? To be one, i should learn first. Gain something that can make me be the one.

I still remember the Micro Teaching Class which we did on second semester. Everyone was soooo excited. Why?? Because for the very first time, we were actually teaching a class. Even it is not the real one, just the classmates, i felt so much nervous. So much excited. By choosing the subject, preparing the slides made me excited enough. We learnt how to write Learning Objective. A good one. Also what Induction Set should we prepare? (which for the very first time i heard such word - Set Induksi). All of these, we learnt how to write a Daily Lesson Plan (Rancangan Mengajar Harian). The Induction Set should be very good. Something that we can attract students in class. Something good to start the class. There was one time, during Micro Teaching Class the lecturer told me. "You're good in teaching. You got sense of humor" (unsur kecindan). I felt proud.

I still remember during my practical time in Polimas, Jitra. The first class i entered. Cost Estimate Class. I felt so nervous at first. I was so afraid if i couldn't answer any questions if students asked me. I think i should avoid WHY? HOW? WHAT? words. At night, before the class, i prepared a lot. Study a lot. Alhamdulillah the class went smoothly and this happened to others class too. Lucky me. Every time after a class, i felt proud of myself. Because i thought, i shared something precious. Something valuable with my students. The knowledge.

I still remember the supervisor praised me. He said i was good. I felt proud. The observation lecturer came to observe. He praised me too. He said i got knowledge that i can shared with the students. The real stories about QS field which i gain during my practice as a QS. And the second observation lecturer. He said i got sense of humor too which i can make my students laugh during lesson class. Which i can make my students not feeling pressure, sleepy. I felt proud.

At last, i realised. i got passion in teaching. I feel like every time in class, i was eager to teach. Eager to share something with the students especially something that relate in QS. Alhamdulillah. I am so much grateful towards Allah for giving me this opportunity to be a teacher. Even in a short time. Hopefully i get this chance again. AMIN... =))
