Fierce Independence and Arrogance

I am quite disappointed with myself now. I feel guilty for thinking about my new co-teacher in a not-so-good manner specially with the way she handles her class.

I was just irritated this afternoon when she did not understand my instruction.It was a case of sheer miscommunication and it was my fault for I did not make it clear to her. I was just vexed for I think as a teacher and a thinking adult, she should have just sent the kids to their classroom for common sense's sake. But then it was so arrogant and haughty of me to think that way.

I must remember that I also had my own share of stupidities before when I was just starting. That if it were not for the people who willingly and patiently helped me, I would not be here to where I am now. Maybe I am just so fiercely independent that I have this crazy tendency to think that people around me should think and act the way that I do. But I am wired differently. Not that I am better than them, only I am wired differently and that is my gift.

I will just guide her and help her. Anyway, she is actually under my auspices so she is still my responsibility.I will be just a good example to those under me. I will motivate them and guide them on things that I know that they still don't know. I will refrain from being a primadonna and just be a good Samaritan always.

I will always remember where I came from, where I started. I will remember that I was helped so I will help also. God wants me to be that way. And never expect people to think the way that I do. Sometimes, like children, we adults need to be given crystal-clear instructions and direction for us to know what we're going to do.
