Are you ready to roll?

I normally will be asked what to expect when one becoming a special education. I said, for someone like me, without proper training in the special education, expect the worst. So in case things don’t go that great, you won’t be so down as u have mentally and physically prepared for it.

This is very contrary to the other advise people will give, as people would say expect the best, shoot for the star.. But if the star is not shining at all..?

So am i ready to roll? I never think I am ready for anything, always there will be a worries and doubt of my capability in performing something. All I have is, what if, what now question .

But here is the thing that make me alive. Things like, when I am teaching the kids ,

Me: (showing a picture of gasing). This is gasing. (Then pointing at the picture again and ask the pupil). What is this?

Pupil : Paper! ( answering like there is nothing wrong wit it )

honestly , when this kind of thing happen , I will be cracking out loud. Especially when I tried to explain the it twice or more. But all they see is the paper.

Another scenario happened yesterday. In my English class , I am introducing the words boy, girl , man and woman . boy and girl is easy as I asked them to stand up if they are a boy or a girl. Then when it come to man, they were kind of lost.

So I give and example

Me: Man is like cikgu Ali. Now anybody can give me another example of a man (of course this one is in bahasa ya…)

Guess what the answer

Pupil: Superman!

So how would u handle the class? There is nothing wrong with their answer actually. They have the ‘thinking-outside-of-the-box’ kind of thing…

I do always read about joke as such, I do found it funny, but when it happen to myself. i have a blast! So are u ready to roll in special education?

You will not only roll, u will rock the world!!!
