Getting used to this exhaustion

Apr 13, 2010 18:21

Thank you Granddaddy for giving me my Mummy so that I can exist in this world in the first place. You will be happy and live in a big big house, and have good food to eat and lead a shake-leg life up there okay.

Sat-Sun-Mon totally wore me out, I was rushing from place to place and worsened the bruise on my knee. (Aiyo ugly purple patch now) Right now I'm gonna be busy with Probation now that the whole thing is over.

To be honest, I find it truly an honor to be able to guide a new generation of leaders, to be able to develop them and be responsible for their growth. I've always liked teaching, but I think I'm better as a student... It's only from late last year up till today that I realize that teaching is not an easy task. Students always complain about this-and-that but they never see the hard work and extra mile put in by their teachers to make sure that their learning journey is as good as possible. Being a learner, you are responsible for only your learning, but as a teacher, you are responsible for the learning of a group of people. How's that for duty.

My hopes for the Probates are simple (I stopped being an idealist long ago because I find that it makes me I'm not practical enough): Do a good job, earn the respect of the cadets. I think that speaks volumes for itself already. My hopes for Peishan and I: That we can be good role models ourselves and prepare the Probates adequately before POP.

Tired but there's nothing I can do about it. In fact, exhaustion gets better with time, like wine. It tastes better and teaches more valuable lessons.
