Practical is around the corner...

Practical. Practical. Practical. This is what should be ringing in most of my course mates’ heads because our practical starts next year in six months time. Time flies very fast. I am nervous, anxious, excited, scared and all kinds of mixed feelings empower me when I think of practical. Dr. Jaya spoke a lot about practical in class. He said by end of this semester we will know the schools that we will be going to. He also asked us to list down eight names so that we can be together in a house.
Different schools, different teachers, students, managements and facilities. Which is the best school to go to? It’s still a question mark to me. I plan to go to Malacca once I know which school I’ll be going to. Amelia my class tutor, she is a good student who got an A for her practical as Dr. Jaya said because he was the one who evaluated her. So Amelia will have a special class for us to teach us how to teach students effectively during practicum. I can’t wait for the class.
I really hope I’ll get good students who will not make my life miserable during the observation. The lecturers have told us a lot of stories about the student’s attitude while the trainees are teaching. Some may not respect us just because we are temporary teachers and some will make a scene while the observation. We need to prepare for all this scenarios. May God be with all of us! Good luck teacher trainees!
