Acacia Rise

I am done with 7 weeks of internship at Acacia Rise, a school that uses guided participation to encourage dynamic thinking through its activities and syllabus. They follow closely to RDI. It was an amazing time there and I feel like I learnt so much more through the interaction with the kids and guidance from the teachers. The kids I worked with made real improvements over the time I was there and that was very affirming to my belief in that particular method of autism intervention..

Obviously there were times I felt pretty miserable, as the day-to-day becomes quite mundane. And then I was juggling two other jobs at the same time, which meant I was pretty exhausted. But I kept myself sane by reading up more about autism, neuroplasticity and watching scientists share their knowledge on platforms like TED.

Well, it's over and now I'm look forward to the work at e27 and my NUS proff. Although Acacia did ask me to go back and help in an adhoc basis. So it's really good. I will get to see my kids!

Okay well updates updates... I chopped my hair shorter cos my days were so busy I felt like my hair was such a burden. I camwhored today, will post up the photos later in this post.

At e27, I am allowed to work from home. SUCK ON THAT. super awesome right. well, not all the time. When I work from home, my family automatically assumes that I am bumming and assigns me chores. Otherwise they keep talking to me and then I get distracted. Another downside is that I'm really working 24/7. The plus-side is that I am working from home, which really sounds like a cool job to have. :\ LOL.
