hopefully not my last reflection........by nor-ain

its hard not to get emotional when parting ways with people who has touched your lives...this experience has touched my life in so many ways....
before arriving here, i was having inner battles with my profession....my life as a teacher has become so routinary that the zest i used to have in my profession was not as strong as it used to be....
then come this UNEXPECTED blessing....i was chosen as one of the scholars of the IBM eMENTORS...i didnt know that this experience could change my life in so many ways...
from day one to day nine, this has been a never ending emotional and intellectual rollercoaster ride...emotional in a sense that friendships and bonds are forged and formed...its an honor to work with this WONDERFUL people from all over the region...its amazing to meet with this people i grow to cherish and wont ever forget....the nine days weve been together seems like eternity of friendship formed, not only my co-scholars but to the two amazing people who has made our experience so much wonderful....sir garsh and sir meoh was nothing but wonderful...mentoring mentors is not an easy task, but they have done that with flying colors, not only that but they have become our wonderful friends as well...
it has been an intellectual rollercoaster ride because we have been taught a new level of making our profession more exciting and more in tuned with the latest trend of technology...it was a very rigid training, that no words can describe how mindbreaking it was...BUT ITS ALL WORTH IT!!!..i didnt know that teaching could be this fun...
im very excited to share this experience with my colleagues back home, as well as to my students who have been so much deprived of all the latest technology the world has to offer...
sending our gratitude to the people who has made this experience possible...to the IBM, thank you very much.....this experience would benefit not only us mentors but the CHILDREN the most...thanking also the CLIC program of GEM for tuning our schools with the world....and to eduquest, to maam tata whom we just met, you've done a wonderful job!
thanks very much to all.......
