I thought I am one good artist as I learned many things by myself. I can play the piano, draw and paint, write poems, take good photographs and appreciate books.
I started drawing when I was young. I started playing the piano when I started teaching. I started appreciating books when they became more accessible to my budget. I started liking photography when I tried taking pictures of my garden. I bring all these things to my work, meaning, I bring my knowledge and teach them to my students.
I thought it was good until I started hearing critical comments behind my back. I thought I was serving a good purpose until I started receiving feedbacks I cannot put any logic into. I thought I was being a good teacher and an artist until I ended being disappointed and frustrated with my works.
A mum in my class wrote,
“Yes, your standards are high but to choose the easy way out without hurdles is not what it is all about. Please keep your standards high and do not give in to mainstream and the “happy” easy-going. There must be someone who makes the difference.”
So in conclusion, I realized that I should be doing what I think is right for the students and for the school, and not for the personal choice or taste of a certain person.
