I started in Transition Year at CBC on January 21, having come from South Korea. On my second day in the school I heard that I have to do social placement. But I did not have a place to work. I went to the principal who was going to tell me where to do my social placement. As he came to me, he said that I would perform the social placement in the CBC Junior Infants' class. When I listened that I would work there, I was freaked out and wanted to escape this reality. My father manages a kindergarten so I know very well about the children. For this reason, I wanted to escape!
When I came into the Junior Infants school, 6 people, including the teacher, were obviously watching me. I was nervous and I introduced myself. Then, children spoke to me at break-neck speed. I got a feeling that that my social placement would be the hardest work! The children came to me to touch my face, because I have different colour and appearance. And they asked many questions, but I could not really give them a response.
But now I love working with them. If I do not understand what they say, they understand me. They always are happy and fully energy. Now, I think that my social placement is the easiest and the best.
I am pleased that the principal recommended the CBC Junior Infants class. Now, I look forward to Tuesdays to do my social placement. The class has made me feel very welcome.
