I remember last year I was in the teaching field experience week when I started this "heart beat" blog. It is here in SPH (Sekolah Pelita Harapan [transliteration in English: Light and Hope School]) Bukit Sentul, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia that I wrote my very first English writing in blog!
I always love to be among teens (although me myself is not really older than them) and helps them to learn Math, Language or even any Social Science. This occassion, I am given the opportunity to teach Grade 7 students Math and Language(Bahasa Indonesia) for three weeks under the guidance of my mentors: Ibu (Indonesian word for Ms ) Tisa and Ibu Yanti. For me personally, this has been the second time for me to be in this multicultural school and live with them in their dormitory.
This school is built in 1994 and uses the ib curriculum. The students here are from various nationalities, i.e. Thailand, The Philipines, Singapore, Korea, USA, etc. Thus, it will be challenging for me to communicate and teach them about local language to them so that they would be advanced in using the language. But, I am not quite sure if I will teach the mixed local-expatriate class or for local students only! But definitely it is very exciting!
Lord, have mercy! Glory to Thee for Thy Providence and Gracious helps for me. Let Thy will be done! May Thou help me to learn to love Thee always and love the students which Thou hast alloweth me to meet with, bless them O Lord! Amen.
Thanks, Yudhie, for this post and especially the picture. It looks like you have a fun time ahead of you, and the school you are teaching at sounds very interesting. Do your best, make many new friends, and "don't hide your Light under a bushel." Plant good seed, and may the Lord give increase.
