My Wonderful Moment at SMK Secret (Week 1)

I arrived at this school with very high spirit..:-) During my first meeting with the PK 1 of this school, I got to know that there is 92% of Chinese students at this school.. Wow!! What an interesting statistic for me as first timer.. I started to think that "Well, you have to learn a lot about them." This is going to be different from my past experience and form my theory class as I could see the environment, the situation, the scenery is very much different. My introduction to the staff room has made me happy being here as the teachers are very friendly and very understanding. They welcomed us in such a way that we could not ask for a better one. We got to know each other and that pleased me very much..
What a wonderful first day for me!!:-)

For this week, I did not start teaching yet. I have got the chance to observe a class where an excellent teacher conducted and other than that, I have nothing to do except finishing my ROS. But I would like to share on my experience talking to a Chinese boy. On my way to the class, I met a boy who was walking to the toilet. He asked me "You sapa?" and I said "I am going to be you teacher." Then, he just went without giving any word or smile to me. This is what very interesting to me. As a first timer being in a different community, I was shocked to face this kind of situation. I thought maybe they did not like me or they wanted to show they did not care for who I am. That is where I got it wrong. After talking to a teacher, I got to know that the situation I have faced is actually normal. It's not they hate me, but that's how they interact.. I was shocked but still that was something interesting to know..:-)
