Library Kids

It’s nice to see my library kids all growing up well and able to progress to Year 3. Can see that they are facing a new level of stress in their academic work. But I believe they will be able to cope, perhaps now they just need some time to adjust to the new demands of being a Year 3 student.

Best part about it, having seen them from Year 1, the bond and rapport we have is stronger with the passing of each year. That is also the reason why I hasn’t been keen to consider making a switch in my job, even though there had been an opening in an International School recently which I felt pretty confident of getting it.

Some will said it was a foolish decision I made, especially if I could potentially expand my portfolio and experience as a librarian and also see a jump in my pay, since I am well experience for the job.

Yet the main reason for holding back was mainly because of my library kids. I had tried to use my upcoming part-time studies as an excuse, since I am not sure if I can cope with the demands of the degree program and the demands of the new job. But somehow I know that is something I will be able to work out and overcome.

I am not sure what is with these groups of kids that had such strong reasons to keep me ‘grounded’ at where I am now. Though I know on numerous occasions, I had told them that, I will do my best to ensure I stay long enough in RV to see them all finish their A levels. Which counting down from now, it’s another 3 years more to go.
To think I hasn’t stayed in a job for more than 2 years, now I am planning to stay in a place for 6 years.  That is quite an amazing feat to me.

Anyway, I am still enjoying my job and what I am doing in RV, the frequent visits by the library kids further makes my job more fun and enjoyable. So let’s see how things progresses in the future.

A decision I made based heavily on feelings. I am not even sure if the decision was sound, but at this point I am not looking back at my decision. Right or wrong I don’t know… Only time will tell.
