i can't believe i've graduated!!!! =) =) yea well ok... i can.... hmmm... i'm starting a new chapter of my life, yet it does not in any sense feel as though i'm starting a new chapter. feels like my new career is nothing new to me. filled with a bundle of joy as i embark on this journey... feeling tweaks of excitement when I think about how i could really make a difference, positive hopefully, to tomorrow's future. to the little ones.

where joy lacks, i wish i'd fill. where wisdom lacks, i wish i'd impart. where skills are uncovered, i wish i'd hone. where a life is, i wish i'd touch. through His life which shines in me.

i've heard of too many horror stories for me to even begin listing here. i pray i shall be set apart from and over all the negativity, stress, inability to cope, and truly enjoy this calling for this season.

it's amazing because initially when i applied for the teaching award, a large part of the reason was because of the monetary incentive. and then God just started to show me how lovely the children are. and i started to really look forward to teaching because i get to see all these cute little things! Ahaha. and then now, i look forward to teach because i get to make a difference in their lives, and play a significant part in moulding their lives. I pray i'll never lose sight of this sense of purpose. =)
