Interview with a Vamp!

Nah.. not another interview.. Had been going for quite a few interviews, whether if it is for jobs or scholarship. Today's one i don't know if i scored or failed. Weird, i just kept blabbering about my true thoughts regarding my stay in Woodgrove. Bombarded with many questions and at most of the questions, i used my own lousy English. =D

Any problems you encountered during your stay in Woodgrove?

(1) Students too noisy at times, may feel a bit helpless because my voice is drowned.. Solution to get them in the mood, either to listen attentively or discussion.
(2) A student named S tried to cut her wrist.. I blah...blah.. the form teacher blah blah.... attention seeker.. blahh.. she freaked me out and she has B.O.. (last part i kept it to myself)

If the principal challanged you to teach a technical class from sec 2, make sure they are well-behaved and produce good results at the end of the year, what would you do? What if they don't do well?

(1) Make sure i know them darn (save the darn) well, because that will make them feel important and has a sense of belonging that the teacher is making effort to know them. So that when they raise hands, i don't say 'you' and 'you' but by their names i call them.
(2) Instill discipline and emphasize on class rules. Always reward and praise the ones doing good and well to inspire the others to work hard in a competitve environment.
(3) Hold small group revision programme for weaker students by topics. The time is worth.
(4) There's a limit to what the teachers can do, so have to make sure the students are motivated to excel. Make learning interesting.

People like to try all the jobs and travel around the worlds and take teaching as last resort, but you are doing teaching first, are you going to travel around the worlds after a while then?

(1) I guess the passion and determination will bring me thru, its the students and satisfaction that motivates me.
(2) So that is why i would take this job.

What if you see your friends successful with money and nice cars blah.. living Paris Hilton lifestyle (they din say this) and you are stuck in this job?

(1) Be successful is not about living a luxurious lifestyle, its about setting your own goals and achieving them. That is what i call success.
(2) Even if you have a lot of money and living well off, you are not successful because you don't get satsifaction and happiness.

What are your plans if you do not get this scholarship? ( This has better not be a hint )

(1) I will still be majoring in chem and mInoring in Maths
(2) I will still go into NIE

Roughly like this, had never talked so much in this few weeks..
