What A Day!

I feel good. I feel REALLY good. Today is one of those days where i can go to sleep satisfied, knowing that i've packed in a full day's work, and hopefully touch some lives at the same time.

It began with heading down to Changi Airport at abt 10am to try to get in some mugging before work began for Spiritmakers (SM). Managed to complete a little bit at least, though i'm still getting too easily distracted, dammit. At least i finished "fred the great". =P

The maths and science trail with SM today was really good stuff. My kids were fun to work with, and attentive when they're supposed to be. it seems that all the conditions came together to ensure today's success. The teacher who was accompanying the kids had a number of good inputs that added to the whole learning procedure. Everything went so smoothly, we even had the time for an extra station!! At the end of the day, I'm quite sure the kids had fun, AND learned a little more about maths and science, and that's basically all anyone can ask for.
After the whole thing, i had a really good conversation with agatha on the bus ride back to yishun and over dinner.

All in all, a day well spent.

I guess my experiences today reinforced my love for teaching young kids and hopefully in someway, moulding their future (cheesy i know, but hey, sometimes cliches work best). And yet, i really dun wish to go into the teaching profession per se, i doubt i could take the mundanity (this word exists according to dictionary.com) of day to day teaching and the other responsibilities that come with being a teacher nowadays. But i guess, education is still the field i would want to go into in future. Certainly, judging by today and all the other projects i've done with SM, its one of the most rewarding, and not just in the financial sense. Like Joel likes to say, "It's all about the kids."
