Experience at TT college

This time, I’m sitting in front of the computer ready to write an account of my experience at TT college. To be sincere, I find it anything but easy. Hundreds of pictures and thoughts are springing to my mind. But well, this is my reflection.

It all started four years ago and since then I’ve been devoted myself to this course of studies. At first I was much more obsessed about studying, I do not mean that now I’m irresponsible (I’m far of that) but I learnt to relax and enjoy a bit more. It’s true that it’s hard to take thing easy when the pressure we receive at this teacher training is high. We all know that going to class, listening and taking down notes and studying to sit for exams is far from enough. Almost all teachers ask us to do assignments from class to class. In this way we are caught in a circle where everything we do is study, study and study.Personally, all these years, I was devoted to this course of studies round-the-clock. Mind you, I do not regret devoting that much time to study (If I hadn’t, things wouldn’t have gone as well as they did) but I do say that it’s difficult to slow down. And sometimes, that’s vital. Sometimes we are so obsessed about finishing our studies in the prescribed time, that we find ourselves trying to cope with everything. I say ‘trying’ because sometimes we just try but are unable to complete all our assignments on time.

This year, I decided to slow down and not to do all the subjects of fourth year just to have more time to devote to the subjects I decided to do. Now, I feel satisfied of the decision I took because otherwise It wouldn't have been easy to comply with everything. Sometimes it takes time to realize that we need to take things easy but at some point most of us realize that. It’s never too late!
