1st Reflection : How I made my "Grand entry to the World of Blogging" :)

Good day everyone! :) Sooo, just when I thought I would never join the world of blogging... Here I am blogging! LOL Actually, we were assigned to set up our own blog to complete one of our assignment - reflection on Pedagogy class for 9 weeks (to be accurate). When I first heard that we would have to set up our own blog and write for every week, I thought to myself "Oh my what did I just put myself into?" To be honest, I am I find it quite a challenge because I am not really good in expressing things out as I am quite reserved. Looking on the positive side, its definitely a brilliant idea that my classmates and I are exposed to the world of blogging and the reason behind the creation of this blog is none other than my beautiful Pedagogy in Education lecturer - Madam Ng. A petite and cute looking lecturer and my first impression when I saw her was definitely - "Oh myyyy she looks sooo strict! Will I survive this semester??" *Yes Madam, I know you would be reading this :p hehe* but honestly, after hearing Madam explain things, I definitely loved her style of explaining and her over view on her teaching methods. :)

Hmm. I must say it was quite challenging for most of us. Newbie's in the world of blogging.  I never liked putting my hands into the world of IT to be honest. Its the most complicated thing for me. hehe :D Downloading software, apps and mor was just never my thing. I just don't know why. Maybe I am not that patient! LOL *A big salute to all IT students. I feel you guys* LOL It took us an hour plus to get download essential software and to get the blog set up - includes time of me ranting when it keep showing I failed to even start up my account at the very start. hahaha :) I think its fair enough to not love IT now? No? hahaha :p Well, thank God for my awesome friends who had so much patience guiding me and helping me out through the whole process. Especially Shevaanni. Thank you so much for being so patient and helpful! :) We had troubles here and there but it was all good since we are well guided by our lecturer and very helpful and awesome classmates. The bond between us just got stronger :)

THE VERY HAPPY FACE WHEN MY BLOG WAS SET UP SUCCESSFULLY! *does the happy dance* P.s : That's my two awesome friends - Shevaanni and Siti Nur Diyanah. The three S ;) #SQUADGOALS :p

Lessons I learned from setting up this blog is firstly "Sherenne, you just need to be patient". lol Jokes aside, Yes patience is virtue. No matter what situation we are put in, we need to have patient in order for things to fall into places. At first, we were all  grumbling when we couldn't download due to the slow internet and few other problems, but to think about it back. Its all part and parcel of life. Obstacles do come in between, how we handle it in times of distress is what makes us into the person we be and things becomes easier when we are calm. For example, lets say in a classroom filled with students of different characters and background. Patience takes its place. Take a deep breath, stay calm and take wise actions to handle the students. :)

                                                    All i need is....ACTUAL PATIENCE :)

Moreover, I realized how important the help of people for example friends around is to solve certain problems. Being quite a reserved person, I tend to keep things to myself and not reach out for help. I realized when we open up and ask for help, things becomes more handy and we are able to solves things fast and efficiently. For example on that day we didn't ask around for help from friends and lecturer, I bet we would have longer time to actually set up the blog and time would have been wasted. :)

                              YESS they surely do. Blessed to have such amazing classmates :)


Next, I realized how important is it to step out of my comfort zone and try out new things an to look at it in a positive way. Though blogging isn't on my favourite list at first but yet I do realize how important it is as an educator to actually step out and discover new things in order to expand my level of understanding in the world of IT. We no more live in the era of chalk and board, its all about IT nowadays so as future educator, I do realize its vital for me to keep up and be up to date with the current flow of the era. I am starting to love blogging now. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Thank you so much Madam Ng for exposing my friends and I to the world of blogging. It is indeed a new and exciting exposure to all of us. :)

That's all from me now the newbie in the world of blogging. Thank you so much my beautiful people for taking your time out to read. Have a great day ahead :)

Bits and Pieces About Me, Myself and I– Sherenne Ann Thomas :)

       

     Hello there! :)  I am Sherenne Ann and I am from Klang. I currently pursuing my 2^nd year of Bachelors of Education and I am planning to major in Language and Literature. It has always   been my dream to teach and also my mum’s dream to see me being an educator in the future. I have faced many obstacles before I could actually pursue my tertiary education in the field of education - but I believe it was all my mum's prayers that has placed me where I am right now and I believe

those hurdles would pay off someday. God willing :)

           

                The superwoman who has inspired and always encouraged me to be an educator and the person I am right now. Words cant explain how thankful I am to be blessed with a super mummy like her :) 

          My passion in teaching started sparkling when I joined work as a teacher in the kindergarten in the year 2012 to fill my time while waiting to get called for public university entry after my STPM( which I didn’t get through hence I joined UNITAR). :)  To be honest, it was one of my best and most meaningful moment of my life. To teach and watch the students you teach progress and grow gracefully right in front of you is probably the best thing an educator can ask for. This kindergarten is really close to my heart because I used to study there years back and to get the opportunity to teach in the same place I used to get my early childhood studies is such an honor and blessing. :) Though, I taught the students in the kindergarten for only 8 months plus, but I learned a lot and made me appreciate every teacher who has taught me because it was never easy being an educator. Takes a lot of effort and hard work, but the plus point would definitely be – it’s one of the most rewarding job ever. Good and encouraging compliments from the my principal a.k.a my boss - Ms Bala helped me a lot and inspired me to be an aspiring educator. Someday I wish I could be like this amazing iron lady- hardworking and inspirational and is very passionate everything she does. I truly admire the way she handles each child and holds them close to her heart.  I will cherish all the moments I had with this beautiful people in Tadika Sri Cemerlang really close to my heart as they have given me countless beautiful moments that I would cherish a life time :)

                                         Few of the artworks that we did together :)

                                          Spot me? :) Hehe I know I am almost in their height :)

P.S Here's a video I made for the kids I taught on my last day with them. 

                                                       
          My philosophy in education is that I believe education is a never ending journey and as an educator it’s my responsibility to provide the best education environment in order for students to get the most out of every teaching and learning process. A conducive yet fun environment where students would learn the best. I believe as an educator it’s important that every educator has the burning and aspiring passion in order to strive for the best to produce a more holistic student. To love, care and facilitate each student without looking at their background and level of understanding and to nurture them with unconditional support and motivation is my belief in education in order to produce the best results in the future for the betterment of the country and world. I believe in learning without boundaries, where students learn for application in life and not just to be put down in words for exams.

          My goal in life is to keep improvising myself from time to time in order to achieve the best in life. I believe we are all not perfect in certain areas of our lives and the only way we can learn and be satisfied with our living is through learning .Being happy and content in what I do is also one of the goals I would like to achieve in the future. I believe there’s no way one can be successful other than being happy with what they do daily. In addition, my goal is to strive my best to make my family proud and to give repay all their sacrifices they have made for me and give back what I have learned throughout the years to the society, nation and the world at large.

I choose to be an educator, how about you? Choose a wise one ;)

That's all from me for now, I would appreciate sincere comments from everyone who reads this blog as I would use those feedback to improvise my blogging skills(which I have yet to learn more) :) as I am still new in the world of blogging( I am quite outdated, I know) hehe ;)  but oh well there's always room to learn and improvise I believe ;) Thank you so much for taking your precious time out reading, I do look forward for your kind feedback. Good day, beautiful people! :)
