[12 July]
Tomorrow will mark the first day of me being an instructor in the medical Institute in the army. Looking at it now, it does seem like a daunting task, but I hope that I'll be able to overcome it just as how I do with other challenges that come my way. We just had last parade with the trainees, and so ridhwan and I both introduced ourselves. It felt weird saying "I am 3rd sergeant samuel" because I'm so used to saying "sct samuel lim". I'm not accustomed yet to calling the other instructors (who were my own instructors in the beginning) by their first name. Well, I'll get over it someday.
There's rahman here who was in the same diploma course as me, and there's a guy from raven (my bmt company) here too. I don't think I'll have to draw the line with them since it's pretty straightforward. I'm sure they already know to separate their work life from personal life.
These men that I train will be the face of the medical corp as they are posted out. They will be the ones to save lives and lead the way. They will be the pillar of support to those whom they serve.
So here's to a new life, many new lessons to learn and re-learn, responsibilities, duties, privileges, fun and laughter, disappointment and annoyance. I look forward to finishing strong.
