Why early childhood education?
I like kids and babies in general, and I found it interesting to learn about them.
How to interact, how to educate, how to handle them in specific situations.
To know their personalities, passion and to simply watch them grow to be a decent human being.
On my second day of college, my lecturer asks each one of us why we took this course and there are some interesting reasons. One of them was from Kak Hajar, she said that she wanted to show people that this course isn't just to learn how to clean babies poops. Because there are people who looked down on this course and questioning how can you be successful by only become a kindergarden teacher? She wanted to prove that by taking this course, we can be successful too and without a proper education on raising a child, it can cause a lot of damage for our future generations.
Ha amacam? Hihihi.
We all cheered for Kak Hajar and our spirits was booming through the roof!
It is true how some people looked down on this course.
For the first month of college, I had to book a grabcar everyday for two weeks to go home, and because of my college's name was obvious that the students are taking ECE course, the conversation between me and the grabcar drivers are always about ECE.
Some are very very supportive, they kept praising me and all.
Tapi ada sorang dua yang gelak.
Ye. GELAK. Like "hahaha" gelak.
"Ni belajar pendidikan awal kanak kanak la eh? Hahaha belajar apa je? Basuh berak?"
You imagine, I just went through a whole day of class and I was so tired and then I have to face with this douchebag.
I kept silent, and right after I reached home, I rated the driver one star and commented "rude" hahaha padan muka siapa suruh kacau aku eeee geram!
Its a big deal okay.
Basuh berak pun kena cara betul nanti melecet macam mana? Hahaha sis masih geram.
At the end, we have to deal with kids.
Kena didik cara betul, nak bentuk seorang manusia berguna bukan semudah kau stack batu bata untuk bentuk satu bangunan.
Its a bonus also for me because I will have my own child one day (ihiks, berpandangan jauh bukan?) and by learning all these stuff will eventually help me to have a proper knowledge on how to raise my own child. InsyaAllah.
So, what are my plans for the future?
I'm planning on opening my own nursery or kinderganten. Still can't choose which one but hopefully the path gets brighter after this journey of diploma.
May Allah ease everything for us :)
