Rachel's World: Last Day at NIE

Yesterday was my last day of lessons at NIE...many thoughts came to my mind, all the kind, helpful and fun-loving frens that I have come to know in NIE, barely a 7-month course before I go for my practicum in Edgefield Primary School. I wonder too to myself if I am proficient enough as a teacher to go out and supposedly impact the little children...haha we were made to sign a letter to our school principals that goes like "I am proficient to teach composition at lower primary level" or "I could teach Grammar with specific strategies" or "I need to observe another teacher at lessons before I could conduct my lessons" some statements with check boxes whereby we are supposed to check beside the correct statements to tell the principal what we are able and good at teaching...
How to send out a letter like that?:P Highly stressful letter man...

I am going to miss them all my NIE colleagues...despite the crazy mad rush of exams and assignments, high tension and high stress levels...I felt good that we made it...
Here's to all my NIE frens and colleagues! Happy Chinese New Year and a wonderful practicum!

Dragged a very tired body to Touch Community Centre. This week is another week of 4 presentations including my Reader's Theatre performance where I played the role of a witch! Valentine's Day, rehearsals, my tooth filling (*ouch*)...stress, emotions cumulated to a splitting headache and acute cramps. I nearly fainted and wanted to hold on to someone and lean on someone's shoulder for rest...there was no one there physically...
I turned to God, I cried out for help, it was shivering cold on stage and I guess those below could not see how our hands were all cold from the blasts of cold air...I was trembling badly to play properly...God came, God soothes and God overcame it all again...

"He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" ~ Hebrews 11:6

I seek You for comfort, for strengthening, when my physical body and tired mind screams out in protest, I could only fall in Your hands alone.. Lord Jesus, hold me lead me and comfort me. You are there when I need You my all sufficiency and all my anguish is in Your hands. HOLD MY HAND when I could not take it anymore, from stress from tiredness, there is joy in the Lord! I rejoice in my weakness cos I know You would be made strong in me!
