Saddest day of my WORKING life



Its finally the last day of the year. I mean working with my kiddies year.

Not only was i anticipating the day, i was also dreading it.

In the bus while on the way to work, it struck me that technically, its my last day working at blk 12. Just like how its the last day for my kiddies.

Guess what?

I cried. My girls cried.

It was heart warming to see my girls hugging and kissing me.

I thought i could control myself but somehow, my tears cant. It trickled down my cheeks when my girls told me that they are going to miss me, that they love me and that they are going to call me if they have any problems and such.

Of course this emotional girl cant take it.

My boys, of course, were ignorant. Except for one, he was blinking back tears looking at me and the girls who was crying.

Yes, i complained a lot about my noisy kiddies. No matter how noisy or irritating they are, they still made an impact in my life.

I took over from Shirley when they were in k1 and till they graduated. They are my beloved children.

I still feel like crying now when i recap today's incident. Seriously, the girls who was crying uncontrollably griped my heart real bad. I went over to them and hugged them real tight.

Parents was also thanking me profusely for teaching their kids. Even during the Parent Teacher's Conference.

It made my day to make a difference.

Im soo glad i chose this line.

At the end of the day, even though the pay sucks, its the passion that matters.

My passion for teaching and nurturing these young minds urged me to strive on and be a better teacher.

Somehow, i dont want to say that im a good teacher yet anymore. Im learning and i still WANT to learn.

I learnt quite a lot in my experience at this centre.

Next year, at the other centre, i hope to learn more.

Im still very much an introvert at heart but working as a teacher makes me learn how to be more friendly and open to others. God's willing, i will make it.

Btw, i did mention that i gave my number to my kiddies ryte.?

I received my first call from one of them today.

She told me that when she reached home she cried coz she wanted me to teach her next year and that she doesnt want another teacher.
(cue: awwwwwwwwwww)

I pacified her and told her that her new teacher will love her just like me.
