Week 1
In this semester I have an community service course which require me to teach a premier school in a random school. For me it's really fun, but at the same time hard. I am not really good at teaching kids, cause you have to be patient and I am not really that kind of person. But I have to try though, luckily I'm not mad when I teach them. For many people I look scary, cause I'm really big. So when I was teach I ask one of the kids "am I scary?" and the kid really not say anything. My friend come and say "it's okey he won't mad?" and the kid slowly nod. It really fun and what I learn from this event is to be patient about other people. Different people have different personality, skill, knowledge and social skill. What I learn the most is how to explain something in the really simple sentences. Cause when we teach kids we have explain in really simple way. For me it's easy to explain to people who have the same knowledge and social skill, but when you teach kids it's really different things. To be hones this is my first time I teaching kids. In the past I never want to teach kids, cause I know that I will easily get mad, I teach kids using complex explanation. For the first we asked to teach the kids about maths and I really surprise, the kids that I teach still not good simple mathematics like additions and substations for a 14 years girls. So yeah, I really learn about patient in that time. The other problem is I cannot use English, luckily I can speak bahasa melayu. Cause I came from Indonesia, bahasa Melayu and bahasa Indonesia, but still it's hard to explain. Other people teach kids that can speak English and know a little bit about maths. For second part I have to teach they how to read in English. My student, she can speak really well however she does not know what that mean, after that the times is up. We do not have the changes to teach all the material

week 3
We came at the class for the preparation for the kids to come to Taylors. last week i did not come because I have a submission, so today did not have any group for the event. luckily there also someone who was not coming last week, so I can be one group for the project. at first I wanted to be a part to the event group, which most of my friend are. however the part is already full, so I take the arrival part because there are only two of us. if we take other part it will be hard to do, event they still other group from other tutorial help. but it will be a hard for us to find out. after discussing what part that we will take, we ask the other group to explains to us what we have to do in this part. so we just have to take the kids to the class where they will be doing all the activity and help other group if there need any.
week 4
Today we go to the kids' school to teach them about budgeting with a task. so basically we have to form a group for the kids to work with. after that we explain what the task is, so they have to make a "party" where there are 21 people coming, we have RM 150 and we have to decide what we will buy for all the people. they given a list of name and price in the super market, a paper and a glue. after they already done the task they have to present it to the class. in my group it's really hard to handle because there are 3 Chinese and 2 Indian. they have a hard time to get along, because of different ethnic group. they work with their own friends and use their own langue. at first there still no conflict and after the work started they start to arguing each other. it's quiet hard because most of the mentor are not really active, but after a little bit of help from my friend we manage to make they finish the task. even though not all contribute, just one of the Chinese group is participate and one of the Indian are get mad because she get ask over and over again for the calculation of the money, even in the end she is the one who is wrong in the end, and we also have a hard time to chose the one who present the task. in the end we give a part for each of them to present.

week 5
Today is the last day we will meet the kids. for me is not that sad,
cause I do not really teach one particular kids in pass week, noting special
for me. However because of miss communication, I do not know that they come at
9.30 AM, I think that they will come at 10.00 AM. so I come to Taylors at 9.30
AM. when I come, I try to contact the teacher. after I know the kids have come.
I run to place where the event is, and ask the teacher "is there any
things I can help?". the teacher ask me to help written the name of the
kids to the books. all of us have to put a motivation quote at the book. I written
to never give up on your dreams.
