Got Great News to share!

I've got it...at last! My dream will soon be realised, InsyaAllah. The first step of my journey towards getting the degree has begun. After making the phone call to MOE yesterday, I made my way to school to meet my P. Unfortunately she was talking to Faisal & Claire, so I headed to the HOD room.

As usual I checked my letter slot before my exit & guess what? There was a letter for me & I saw her note on it which says "Well you're on to your Learning Journey. Congrats! dear." I couldn't believe myself when I scan through the letter. My application for study leave is succesful and to top it all, I've also been shortlisted for the MTL award. Alhamdulillah...that letter was what I've been waiting for the past few months!

I headed to the HOD room with a wide smile. Belum apa-apa my VP dah cari to settle some of my supervisees' performance forms...ok, while waiting I better settle that. After 1 hour, si Faisal belum keluar2 ofis lagi. Eh, lama sangat si budak ni bebual? Ok, while waiting I kemas my meja yang masih berserak. At last, I got to meet her only at 12 noon! Dag dig dug...She saw me waiting & smiled, knowing I wanted to see her. Hokay, that's a sign she's in a good mood. So when I handed her the letter, she took it, signed & printed out the standard letter that was supposed to be submitted with mine. And....we talked abt my study leave and my pregnancy after that. Huh? Oklah, that wasn't too bad after all, isn't it?

I spend the rest of the day cleaning my table (sedap mata memandang sekarang) and throwing as many junks as possible so that even if I have to shift my place, I won't have to transfer so many things to the staff room. Now, I'm so glad I'm just a 'normal' teacher and looking forward to be called a 'student' once again. Though I may be pursuing my degree only at the age of 29 (insyaAllah next year), I don't regret as I knew I have gained almost 9 years of experience in the working world. I hope the experiences will help me somehow in my studies.

Though it would also be a challenge and demand lots of sacrifice on my part (especially with baby no 2 coming), I hope I'll be ready to take on the challenge. It won't be easy dealing with 2 small children and pursuing my studies at the same time...but I will persevere. Both my parents & in-laws are happy with the news and I knew they're supporting us all the way. It's just for me to put in my best & hopefully, insyaAllah to achieve my dream...to get a BA with Honours degree. Ameeen.
