RE-SL Little Wings

As we all know, lesson 2 was a disaster. It was not well done at all, and we made many mistakes. This is completely unacceptable, especially since we already made the same mistakes last week. This is the fault of the entire group, and definitely not of any individual. We all should have chipped in more extr effort and time to do up the lesson for the children. And I think we all owe Rattanin and apology for pushing all the work on art to him for the previous 2 lessons. I feel like crying, it's so sad, so tragic.


How now?


Well, we definitely have to pull up our socks and work harder. I think we have already scrutinised our lesson and found out its innumerable mistakes, so i will not go on the expound on them further. But looking ahead, I think the most important thing is to have sat down to have a rehearsal of our lesson, which we will do countless of for the next lesson to ensure that we have hope of doing better. I want everyone to know that we can do it, but many sacrifices have to be made.


I remember when I signed up for RESL, they asked us to explain what Service-Learning meant to us. And looking back, I now see how much sense this made, and that the more we serve, the more we learn. I think what we need to do now is to look ahead, at what we can and should do. What I mean by this is that we plan our next move. This is for the children, and their parents, and the kindergarden, and it is serious. We cannot afford to waste a minute of their time by having a lousy lesson, as this is would be instead, a disservice. This would in fact harm the young children, and they would then have been better of without us. Since we are already here, in RESL, why not give our best, our very best, our all.


And we must. If we do not perform well for the next lesson, we will have to evaluate ourselves, is there a heart issue that we have to do with? And are we ready for the responsibility and duty of teaching children? The burden is heavy; the price, costly. If not then, why continue this meaningless activity. I am sure Mrs. Lim will not hesitate to remove us from SL, fail us, and let us be retained for another year. Why waste the children's time, their parents' time, the school's time, and our own time? Why continue such a disservice?


There is work to be done...


Like the old saying, "don't cry over spilt milk", we cannot let our previous lesson crush us any longer. We must come out victorious. Do we cry when we can work on it? No, obviously. What failed, failed. Let us look ahead, and work. This is not about redemption, or trying to improvre, this is about doing what should have been from the start. Starting now.

I guess only the next lesson will show us whether we are ready. And if we are proven unsuited, then there is great still a price that we must pay.
