Year 1 NIE Student-Teacher
Majoring in Tamil Language and Tamil Literature (Secondary track)
As a Year 1 Bachelor in Arts (Education) Programme Student, I do spend most of my time on the NIE Campus and in hall. Thankfully, I have shorter days this semester, which gives me the time to study, meet friends for meals, and go for runs!

My teaching subjects are Tamil and Tamil Literature, both of which I had not taken when I was in junior college. Therefore, my classmates and I spend a lot of time on extra readings which help us to understand the content better.
(My notes for Tamil Literature)
I am a member of the Trainee Teachers’ Club and we have frequent meetings to discuss initiatives for student life activities. Beyond this, I am also involved in my hall’s orientation program and in the NTU Tamil Literary Society’s Dance Wing (which keeps me busy!). Although my days can be quite packed, I would not have it any other way as I truly believe that a vibrant student life is a very important part of tertiary education experience. Juggling these responsibilities has been tiring but fun, nonetheless.

I hope my time in NIE is one that is vibrant and I am excited to see what lies ahead of me!
