Outrageous. Why on Earth do I need to attend a course on how to deliver my lessons in English? I'm a freaking English lecturer for God's sake. I teach entirely in English. I should be the one conducting the course. This is demeaning. What will the content lecturers think? They'll all think I'm incompetent. I'll be learning how to say freaking 'hello' to my students. What the hell are you thinking?
Boy was I pissed off about this. It's not easy to accept this. It felt like I was being sent back to pre-school with the little pre-schoolers who think that I don't know the difference between poop and chocolate as they don't. The only reason for it is because the course that our department is having doesn't have enough participants. So we, the ones conducting have to attend the course.
Knowing this, I should be so offended. But it's hard. Knowing that you'll have to do something that you don't need to. Having to put yourself at the same level as others. What's with that? Do I think I'm so great? This is God teaching me to be humble. This may be because I've been floating so high above the sky, I need to learn to come back down. Modesty is one of the most difficult thing to learn and practice. May Allah give me the strength to be patient and learn the ways of being a Muslim.
A king who walks among his subjects dressed as one of them is a strong king. No... I'm not sure what the right saying is....
