I don't miss school-University life that is. Not one enny weeny teeny bit. That is how much I am enjoying what am doing. It may be a little too early to say much. Considering I have just spent 3 days at ABC but so far, I like my colleagues. Well, 2 out of the four I am with.As for the other 2, I have yet to spend much time with them so comments shall be kept to myself for now.

I am starting to feel this job is cut out for me.Though my day starts very early and the hours do get long,( I wake up at 5.45 everyday!!)I enjoy thinking about the fact that in future, when I can finally stand on my own two feet,I can do my job as per my liking(except for the occasional reporting to the DM and RO) with no one to scrutinise my every decision and most importantly, boss me around. I can plan my own methods of teaching the kids.That is how I have always wanted my job to be like for a very long time. Me, and myself no one else. OOps! haha.. those who know me well, will know I suck at team work 75 per cent of the time because I hate to be told what to do.(ask my poly friends and my sister,they should know better :p) Arguments and petty fights will tend to break out cause yours truly, cannot stand others dishing out work to her and when the mates gets a little too bossy or dominating, tempers start to flare.Hmm..haha..truth be told, it is not something I am very proud of but some how,it is something I cannot seem to change even after all these years. I guess I like being my own boss. A solitary bird.

Anyway, I learnt one major thing today. I realised that in order to actually last in this job, one has to have a real and I mean REALLY high level of patience something which I lack in my daily life. Actually, in my home/family life. I guess what my mother said was true. This job is well suited for me because it will teach me patience and most of all to have better tolerance towards those around me. haha..if you think I am that patient quiet Divya you see daily at school/work/regular meet ups, you are totally wrong. Well, 60 per cent wrong.

I have a scale I use to measure my tolerance level towards each group of people.In short, the closer I get to you, the more intolerant I become. Ha! May be the same reason why I keep most people within an arm's length.To avoid getting each other's nerves frayed.

To cut the long story short, so far, I am glad to say I am quite happy where I am. I shall not say I am very happy or that I love what I am doing now so as to not jinx it all up.Furthermore, it is abit too early in the days to use the words love for what I am doing. It has been just a week. So I shall just keep up the positve attitude and strive to give my best to help these little kids to build up the one and only important thing they really lack in their life. Self esteem.Trust me, the few cases I have seen made me realise how fragile a person's especially that of a young kid's can be. One wrong word and it can really bring them down.Huh..trust me on this. Been there done that. ;). =)
