Teaching what I like :)

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful :)

It had been decided earlier today that I'll be teaching biology next year. Alhamdulillah and yeay =D

Biology plus either science or english. Sebabnya ada satu je kelas bio di sekolah ini jadi kena top up dengan subjek-subjek lain.
In teacher's world, it is absolutely normal for teachers not to be given the chance to teach what they specialise in.

In simple words, tak semestinya kita akan ajar apa yang kita belajar. Ikut keperluan sekolah.

Hang belajaq bio ka, kimia ka, tup tup hang pegi sekolah esok-esok cikgu BM yang tak cukup, maka hang ajaq lah BM.

I would love to teach Biology :) tapi kalau tak dapat, I don't mind teaching English, Pendidikan Islam(but not the jawi part), Sivik, Science, History, Geography. Even though I'm not an expert in those subjects, I believe that I would still have the confidence to teach those subjects and make the lessons lively :)

But I don't think I have the heart to teach Add maths! maths! physics! chemistry! Kemahiran hidup! PJ!BM!

I was not born to become a mathematician. But when I told that to my sister, she said 'never ever say that kita tak pandai maths. It is all in the mind'. Jadinya saya berusaha lah belajar maths dan dapatlah A1 for both addmaths and modern maths. She's right, it is all in the mind(to a certain extent). 

I used to be quite good in Add maths. Tapi tu sebab nak dapat A. I don't want to teach add maths!
teaching add maths would mean = long hours of revision(again) as a teacher. Pastu mesti berdebar setiap kali nak masuk kelas mengajar sebab tak ingat dah semua formula. Pastu mulalah kelas jadik bosan dan tak lively dan budak tidur. I think I had enough addmaths during my secondary years.  I think I attempted questions in about 10 addmaths books and attended 4 tuition classes for addmaths alone both during school time and during school holidays. LOGARITHMA? nightmare :( I hate learning LOGS! Malas nak positive thinking. LOG memang susah. Period.

Physics pun sama. TAKNAK AJAR FIZIK. I hate learning physics.Not because it isn't interesting. Tapi sebab susah. Subjek sains yang paling susah bagi saya. Hubby pun sama, hubby pun tak pandai fizik hehe :D
We both got A2 in physics. We are match made in heaven in that sense.

Chemistry OK. Tapi kena pandai persamaan! Dan kena ingat ion-ion punya cas. Kalau boleh taknak. Kalau kena ajar, means long hours of revision jugak. Tapi kalau kena pilih between addmaths, physics and chemistry. I think I'll choose chemistry.

Kemahiran hidup OK. But I'm not good at sewing! Dan memasak bersama budak-budak tingkatan 1 dan 2 agak merbahaya. Pelajar lower form memerlukan supervision yang super tinggi dalam apa jua amali. DAN kalau kena ajar bertukang, I'm dead.

Allah is being too nice to me, again! He gives me the chance to teach something that I'm good at, something that I'm passionate about. Teaching biology enables me to easily deliver islamic message. Because biology is all about God's creation.

wow that's me holding a small rodent! surprisingly! When I was staying in Cardiff, there was a mice in our house and I used to run away and scream at the sight of the mice. But for the sake of accepting my lecturer's challenge. I pulled a brave face and hold a mice! 

Susah payah belajar biologi, now I can finally teach it to others :)
