Yesterday and today I am pretty tired and exhausted at work. Due to Covid, we have to move all class to hybrid. However, we are short staffed. Half of staffs are sick. Our students do not support hybrid since they feel they do not study well online. Some students do not even have the computer to go online. Regardless, when I see all the instructors and my staffs go extra mile and effort to support all students, it makes me feel stronger to move forward.
Teamwork
Our staff is sick but they offer to work from home. Our instructors are not a tech-savvy but they are willing to go for the Webex training to teach online. What a team that I have. We agree to a same goal to assure our students having a safe, healthy learning environment.
It is not an easy task because every students has their own opinions and they all wanted their way. We have to deal with many negative thoughts and resistance from the students. But more importantly, we have to plan and organize our workflow within our shorted staff in order to support our instructors and students.
This is the time that I can understand the sayings: “Teamwork makes the dream work.” After one week, we are able to support almost 100 students to go online. There are still some hiccups along the way, of course. But the team spirit is there. It is so powerful that it make me feel strong to work 12 hours a day. Obviously, I am exhausted when I get home physically. However, mentally I have a peace of mind knowing that I am doing my best every day with my team to support our students the best that we could.
Sorry for the late post and unorganized here, but I tried my best! That’s matter most!
