One of my cousins told and conveyed message to engage in HATIM as a Guest Lecturer of BSW for 2 months since 4 September to 31 October 2015 due to the absence of Sir.C.Lalengzama, as he is going to attend course work (on Ph.D) in Social work.
One of my cousins told and conveyed message to engage in HATIM as a Guest Lecturer of BSW for 2 months since 4 September to 31 October 2015 due to the absence of Sir.C.Lalengzama, as he is going to attend course work (on Ph.D) in Social work.
I was happily decided to engage in it. I want to ask God. If God agreed, the HOD will granted my humble application, luckily, not only with prior approval of Dr.B.Laldinliana who is Medical Superintendent of our Hospital but also Asst Gen. Secy of the BCM agreed.
And reported to the Principal, Dr.Chawngthanpari who is having full commitment to Lord and the Baptist Church. In this short meeting, I was dress as formal as possible, but easily she looked into my eyes and counted me as Indian monkey because of my red mouth. But requested me to reduce my tobacco and other consumption, promised her and followed till the end. One of the remarkable events is her Prayer about my habit, and gap between my days of graduation and till now. And prayed also for I have no experience in teaching, that I would hold all responsibilities in their learning and soul.
I was never thought of becoming a teacher, and have no inner urge to become a teacher. But during two years 2008-2010 I was volunteered as a Teacher In our local Private Higher Secondary School, as it was going stop due to financial assistance from the Community. (I got Rs 500 for 24 months as honorarium, now i can buy two Kgs of Pork) That experience is of very less for building career. Especially, for residential college like Church based.
Asst Professors like, Ms Gospel, Ms Mary, Sir RSA. and Sir Zela are very friendly to me and to Students. I never saw an ugly faced and always showing smile and miss mary doubled her smile (It is a gift from God, and i counted such blessing when i was with her) It is a great privilege for me to become SIR to my students (Though it is only for two months); our work culture and a pattern in here is of no use because a friendly and rapport building time in all the way. But, over there, Confidence and updated knowledge and experienced is a vital to deal with students. I feel enthusiast with fieldwork in De-Addiction and correctional settings and different communities.
On my first week, fluency becomes my problem in the class. I only used English for making calls and receiving calls from Airtel Company..hehe.. On second week, chewing tobacco and my bad habits become a problem. Distance from here to the Campus is difficult to adjust myself and I realized that attending class is not enough in social work discipline- because there is no time to interact with students based on their field work, research and Presentation. But, they - students and teachers were very friendly and I feel those days of my youth and college time, especially when I prepared for class teachings. It was a great chance and experience for me to become College Teachers.
On my last days, I was organized discussion among Fifth semester students about How and why HATIM was established for? I knew, the real status and conditions of HATIM. One of my critical thinking thought of why do Church Administrators selected to offer BSW course in Religious-Residential-Strict College? Is BSW become a problem for maintaining a strict discipline? Because of Field work and course patterns of Social Work, it is very different from other. But it is a great challenge for BSW Department in order to mainstreaming social work into the College Community.
Fifth Semester Students evaluated me like I have no confidence in teaching and class work to make decisions and they thought that all of my perspectives is client related and sometimes boring. Their writings are like ;
Friends are made to be forever friends
When accepting our difference and similarity
We’re going to miss these days,
Counting it would be like those days
Farewell is not only departing someone
But leaving remembrance and shadow
Distance and leaving is sometime sweet
When there’s time to share olden time
Things were happen differently but,
Point of views were same wherever
I remember them as BM-a ; the innocent one, Mahlima ; the biggest one in physical and the Curly Man; Chhana, LP-a of the Serious Red Rocker were sitting in the courtyard during Lunch time. Like them, I used to sit with Vishal Chhetri (The Katmandu guy), RD-a (Kawchhung Thianghlima), Rinzuala (as white as Chakma) and myself were sitting under that oak tree. I still remember those days, and envied when they were sitting, cried when i'm thinking.
I had always confused Siamtei; the little mermaid with Mimi, and asked Ruth about her Mini Research, but another Ruthi (Twin) said ‘I am not Ruth) Enkawli said “I don’t need I.C or G.C” but I feel embarrassed because of this word in Social Work. Due to their participation in the discussion Tluang tluangi and Sangtei will be remembered. Mawizuali of the Serchhipian attention and improvement in interaction is so sweet. Chami, I will remember because her name is Chami. ( ask myself not to write further…..please no more word Chams)
