Book sharing of “An Attitude of Gratitude”
Speaker: Mrs Tan-Soh Wai Lan (Author/ President of NAFA, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of University of the Arts Singapore)
Facilitator: Ms Cheleen Chua (Senior Teaching Fellow, Centre for English Communication, Singapore Management University)
Thankful for all the blessings – large and little – that have brought her to this point in her life, Wai Lan was moved to share her personal journey in a book that’s been more than a decade in the making.
She has always seemed destined for a life in education, from when she was a mere five, playing make-believe teacher to her dolls and stuffed toy ‘students’. She is a prodigious storyteller, and this book is an account of her formative years and beyond and the events and life experiences that have shaped her as a student, scholar, teacher, mother and school leader.
Beyond being a memoir of her days in school as a top student to being on the other side of the table – as an educator of distinction and the youngest principal in 2002 to her current role as NAFA president – each chapter provides an insight into how personal accountability and a spirit of gratitude have helped her become the person she is today. A must-read for any parent, and anyone who is preparing for a career in education or eager to make a difference in the complex world we live in.
