You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

I am stealing some time off work this morning so that I can pen some thoughts down here. Like anticipated, this has been an extremely hectic week, in fact this whole year looks like it will follow the same pattern. I had to email my EP my work plan for this year so my RO and myself sat down on Tuesday to plan what we will be doing this year. I dont know about other SNOs but after listing the 'tasks' for this year, it was almost a full page and this is on top of my regular jobscope of taking care students, screening and progress tracking. I must say after the session, I was a bit overwhelmed, even though most of the plans originally came from me. I am wondering if I can cope with everything, I certainly do not want to be one of those people who just 'touch and go' basis especially with the PSG meeting coming up soon.
So I think this PSG is a good thing, especially for a more holistic approach in helping my students. However this also means that I have to plan and prepare for the sessions as I will be the one sharing and doing the presentations! Plus it is going to be once a term! Hmm, I think this idea came up in a hurry and we did not even sit down to plan and decide on the mission and vision.
I try not to bring work home and all that but its just so difficult to do that when I am the only one doing what I do in the school. Still, I think the source of my stress is from the high expectations that I have inflicted onto myself. My RO and school leaders have never once put any pressure on me. They have been truly supportive and just for that I am blessed.
This week was exciting as I had the chance to sit down at my workstation and LISTEN to the cds! On normal school days this will not be possible because I will rushing to classes. I have been listening to Charlie Durso repeatedly and that is just enough to keep me excited! Charlie Durso is one of my favourite ang moh speakers and a lot of his teachings are reflected in the way I approach and work with people. I really like his way and I have adopted a lot of his style and I tell you, it works great!
Another exciting cd was this month's SOCD, from my dear mentors, the incredibles! I must say it is weird when I speak to Samina on the phone and listening to her speak on cd. I still cannot believe how lucky and priviledge I am to be guided by those who are successful. While listening I was thinking about my own mentorship experience with her and I heard this:
Mentoring is a priviledge only for those who set a great example.
Ok, that was really weird, it IS as if she was speaking to me via her cd.
This is week is almost over and time really went by really fast for me. While I did some quality stps this week, I think I am still far away from the desired results and Jiten's statistics was enough to keep Naf and me on our toes! We want to build this pipeline in 3 to 5 years not 10 years!
Also I have already promised Margaret that the Eagle 'trophy' up for grabs, will be mine in a few months time. Unless, my eaglets grow and we celebrate 2 eagles in the team. Or even 3 eagles in the team.
THAT would be really exciting!
