My Life as a Student or Worker
My life as a worker is something I'm always happy to share because as a worker who wake up as early as possible to make sure everything is in order before leaving the house is not a child's play, having this experience is what I want to share with you all.
Are you currently a worker or student? How does it feel being what you are currently?
I'm a worker in a private school handling the nursery department, I must tell you being a worker is not an easy thing. It requires dedication ,sacrifice including spending of money. Being a worker in this department gave me a sense of belonging because there are times I would feel like staying back from school but when I remember my position and the children I will quickly dress up to go do my work. A times when I remember the sacrifices involved I would want to quite..
What challenges have you faced being a student or worker? Do you sometimes feel like giving up?
Being a worker I have faced numerous challenges which includes.
Low motivation from my employer. Due to high cost of things in the country transportation is not an exception , after spending my money on transportation the management will still have the courage to deduct my money at the end of the month.
Insecurity of job. Everybody can attest that working in a private sector is risky because there's no job security, which means the workers can be sacked at any time. Whenever I remember this I'm always afraid of my work and feel like quitting.
Lack of teaching aids. I faced the challenge of teaching aids which should be provided by the management, it's a big challenge that makes some practical teaching difficult unless when I improvise, ofcourse my improvisation cannot be every time .
Family problems. As a worker, there are times I wouldn't have time for myself to even look good , all I could do is to satisfy my family and my work place.
Too many workloads from workplace. There are months that staff will drop from teaching or working within the term, they can call me to hold brief until another staff is replaced and during this time writing of lesson note and handling the classes will be a big stress.
What has helped you cope these challenges you faced as a student or worker?
I have been trying my best to stay focused, because if I stay back to focus on the challenges I may fall sick ,as such I apply some common knowledge to face the challenge.
Drawing my plans . I have observed that setting my goals at any point in time helps me to achieve more, therefore I make sure I strategies and plan myself in order to overcome.
Open for discussion. I'm an honest person and when it comes to something that can stress my brain too much I try not to hide it within myself I open up and discuss with others for help.
Positivity. I'm a positive person, I'm focused in achieving greater work despite being in a tight position or Conner.
What's your worst memory as a student or worker?
There was a day that I was expecting salary, I was 100% sure because the management has never passed that date without paying salary, so I went to work with just my going transport hoping that when I receive my salary during the day I can buy food from there and pay my way back , we waited till 12 noon . I didn't know that majority of my colleagues were also anxiously expecting the salary. To our greatest surprise the head- teacher called the management that the staff were worried if something will enter, we were disappointed, I didn't know whom to ask since all of us are complaining. I managed the hunger , then when school was over I trekked to almost my house before I saw help that took me to my house.
I can't forget that day in a hurry because the scorching sun that heated me that day will be evergreen.
