Teaching is one of the toughest jobs on earth. No wonder some teachers feel like giving up to a profession which is not only physically and mentally demanding but also emotionally disheartening.
With so many work to accomplish, not to mention the regular teaching work and lesson planning, we can't help not to answer some of the big questions concerning us.
1. Do you plan to slow down in the coming year?
Being young and vibrant is a blessing. I can imagine my old co-teachers complaining their back pains and sore throat and other muscle pains caused by old age. It's good to know that I am young and I still have the energy to teach. I am given the proper motivation for my work. I guess, I just need to maintain my pace and passion in teaching students and I should not let it die down on me.
2. Do you consider yourself a workaholic?
I could say I am. Specially this month and this coming September, I don't know how to define the word "rest."
3. When you need more time, do you tend to cut back on your sleep?
Not anymore. I learned so much lessons in the past. I realized sleep is very important. I can't afford to cut back on it. Time management is still an effective way to beat any deadline.
4. At the end of the day, do you often feel that you have not accomplished what you had set out to do?
Sometime I feel like I am not accomplishing anything when I don't plan out my day. Iused to list down on paper the things I want to accomplish in a particular day as "To-do-list." If I fail to make a list, I am sure nothing will happen.
5. Do you worry that you don’t spend enough time with your family or friends?
Yes, I really worry not spending quality time with people whom I care and love. I hope I can be with my family always. But to my friends I can spare some time specially when they invited me to a party.
6. Do you feel that you’re constantly under stress trying to accomplish more than you can handle?
I have this mentality. I just don't know how to avoid stress.
7. Do you feel trapped in a daily routine?
Yes.
8. Do you feel that you just don’t have time for fun any more?
I still find time to enjoy and have fun while working.
9. Do you often feel under stress when you don’t have enough time?
Nope.
10. Would you like to spend more time alone?
Yes, I truly need time to contemplate on my life. I will explain later.
