It is one of those exhausting day again. Woke up feeling really tired. No energy to do anything... no appetite for food. I'm sick of canteen food. The first 3 lessons of the day killed all my remaining passion for the day. I asked myself again, is it worth it to be firm? Some chose to stay in class. I gave up. Brought only 19 out and 6 of them quarrelled. I don't want to scold them anymore. It is already Term 4 Week 2. They are left with 8 weeks to be with one another and they are making themselves and myself unhappy. I surrender. No wonder so many teachers quit or left the school. No wonder our passion for teaching die. No wonder many of our health deteriorated.
I am reminded that I must be a God pleaser and not a men pleaser. So I shall still be firm. But I need to be kind to myself and stop being affected by others choice. It is their choice to decide what they want to do with their life. I choose to be firm. Even if they are not happy with me. I must remind myself that I CAN NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE. Be nice to myself!!
