ஜென்மம் நிறைந்தது சென்றவர் வாழ்க! சிந்தை கலங்கிட வந்தவர் வாழ்க! நீரில் மிதந்திடும் கண்களும் காய்க! நிம்மதி, நிம்மதி இவ்விடம் சூழ்க! Long live the person gone after completed his life Long live the person came with disturbed thoughts Let the moist eyes dry up Let peace, peace, circulate here ஜனனமும் பூமியில் புதியது இல்லை, மரணத்தைப் போலொரு பழையதும் இல்லை, இரண்டும் இல்லாவிடில் இயற்கையும் இல்லை, இயற்கையின் ஆணைதான் ஞானத்தின் எல்லை!

As I was thinking about what I should write this weekend, I thought about all those notes I made for many different blogposts. This is from last year, by the way. However, in a year, all those notes have gone to the back of my mind as I have more important things to write about. So, I am a kindergarten teacher and I teach 3 to 5 year old children mainly. When I first started the job, I was out of depth about how much effort and work needs to be put into this. I had amazing centre director (CD) and colleagues who guided me but I felt like I was not qualified for it. I have studied Masters in Education, majoring in Early Years. I have studied the curriculum and theories in child development, yet I felt unprepared for the position. I was new to town and I was still adjusting, which could have been a factor, still I was unprepared. My friend said I was just going through a phase of impostor syndrome, which is normal when you are going into your first job. It didn’t make me feel better.
