Just back from a counselling session with a group of 6 students, 3 of whom being called to my office for using vulgarity and 3 of whom behave rowdily in class...
Earlier I have given a good "wake up call" for my entire PEM class (Personal Mentoring Class) to behave themselves in class. In my so many years I have never scolded my class to this extent as I have done today...today's scolding session for my class was in fact the worst in my history of employment here...this batch of students has displayed behaviour that we had never seen before in our so many years here and the same feedback seems to be consistent among us, so I have pulled them aside and give them a good and thorough "lecture".
Thinking back, why am I doing all this? Why am I getting so worked up and angry over this bunch of teens? For what? For who? Boss is not going to reward you for this....for sure...? Why bother in the first place! I was reminded my job now is my vocation in life and when the occassion calls for it I had do to what needs to be done regardless of the earthly returns that may comes with it or not.
At the end of the session, they have apologise freely and promised to improve on their behaviour...I think they are sincere about wanting to change for the better...
I hope I have made a positive impact on this bunch of young teenagers under my charge and I hope that God will continue to shower me with graces to carry on with this vocation....
I felt much composed now.
