SBE day 1 ~ 'Hello St Agnes'

Today is my 1st day having my PBS at St Agnes, which was my former primary school. This was how the day went by:

I reached the school around 6.55 am and directly went to the main office. Unexpectedly, I bumped into the principle whom at that point of time, I didn't know that she is the principle. I only realise that she is when I saw her name tag! And I was a bit shocked when she said that the school didn't receive any letter about my 'coming' for pbs there. So, she just asked me to wait at the office because they are going to have assembly soon. 

Okay, I just waited with a worrying heart and confusing mind :( what should I do next? During waiting, I was hoping that there will be at least one from other IPG doing pbs together with me here. But it was just a dream, and I guess, I have to walk on this project alone here.

After the assembly finished, I met the principle, or the GB. At first, she looks quite strict, making me felt a bit awkward. After having a little conversation, I notice that she is rather friendly. She said that she is willing to accept me there for my 1 week PBS although there is no official letter from my college with one condition; I have to follow all the school rules, particularly when it comes to punctuality. Thank God.

Then, I met the PK 1; Mr Tony. He is so funny, just like the old days. He was my Science teacher when I was in primary 6. After talking for a while, he brought me to the staffroom. There, I met my former teachers; Cikgu Moston, Cikgu Elizabeth, Miss Chin, Cikgu Wilfred, Cikgu Julia, Cikgu Lilah, Cikgu Latifah, Cikgu Juliana, Cikgu Alice, Cikgu Mastikah and many more. I was also given a place to sit and a mentor who is teacher Alice; my former English teacher. I am lucky to have her as my mentor. She is so friendly and willing to help me with anything for my project. She did also give me some advices on how to be good English teacher, thank you teacher!!

The day ended with me strolling around the school, snapping some random pictures alone. Though st agnes is my former school, still there are some difficulties somewhere. The situation is now different. I guess, most of my classmates are so lucky because at least they do have some friends doing SBE in the same school together. But for me, I have to struggle all by myself and try my best to adapt with the environment here. This will be a tough week for me, but don't worry, I am going through it slowly and I believe that I am going to leave meaningful experiences at the end of my SBE here in st agnes. 

Tomorrow, I am going to meet the students!! 1st hour class,at 7 am in 6 Rajin!
