I still think that teacher's day celebrations is a popularity contest for the most part of it..
especially with the presents and who gets more..
but then when you really get heartfelt thanks and gratitude from students..
you cannot help but feel touched..
mind you, i wld have actually cried if i had not been able to control myself~
usually it's the final year students who write meaningful letters and cards to you
because they are more matured and you have been with them for a few years..
with this batch, i have been with them for 2 1/2 years...
they are my first batch, so def the BT (beginner teacher) syndrome strikes hard....
to have the naughtiest saying thank you to you for having faith in them
to have them saying thank you for helping them and caring for them...
i really wanted to cry...
and then my st john final year seniors surprised me with this big card..
i saw someone on the card and i really laughed out loud..
and to think that someone's birthday was yesterday...
again i wanted to cry..
coz i did not expect anythg from them...
and they put in the effort to put in Arashi...lols!
and more imptly, JUN!!! all in all, srsly this card is my most fav present...with sincerity and humility~
and then my 4E kids actually made a card...
even though i am no longer their form teacher (i was theirs last yr but due to circumstances i am not this yr)
i am indeed touched!!!
how they wanted me to be their form teacher again and how they missed me..
awwww~
indeed, i am gg to miss my final year students when they graduate this year...
if u wan know how the rest of the students were..
it was quite funny..
the freshie Sec 1 baked cookies coz they were trying to practise their new found skills...
but so funny coz they were a tad too sweet...my family were like gg AMAI!
the sec 2s seem to go crazy over chocos and i received a lot of chocs and aromatherapy candles...
orz..i wanted to ask..do i really look like i am THAT stressed out?
sometimes i LOL at their gifts..
to me, and i think it applies to many teachers..
our preferred gifts = good results, good behaviour and appreciation~
