Happy Teacher's Day~!
Today is 1st September 2007. It not only represents the first day of the only September in 2007, but also signifies the birth of Teachers' Day. Yup! Today is TEACHERS' DAY! Never did i expected that i would come to remember this day after so many years. Since i graduated from my secondary school, i never really had any impression of any Teachers' Day celebration, let alone remember the date. But today, it was a day that left me a great impression, at least for today.
As usual, i went to Jurong to give my 2 naughty students their doses of tuition. Upon reaching their house, (as usual, i was late. lOlx!) they greeted me happily. When we were in the room where the lesson was supposed to take place, they gave me presents for Teachers' Day. Awwww, i was so touched at that moment. I was so happy and in the mean time quite guilty. I was especially fierce to them when they were disobedient and always had too high an expectation from them. More than often, they would have tears rolling in their eyes. Even though, it wasn't the case every time. I would joke with them on days when they were obedient and did the necessary preparation before my arrival.
They also told me about their results for the recent pre-exam tests and i was more than pampered after knowing that their grades did improve that little bit. Their mother was always encouraging to me, and gave all the credits to me, which i transferred most of them to the boys who really must have put in effort to achieve the grades. Although they seemed uninterested at times, but i believed that their efforts cannot be denied. If i had the time, i would have follow them through their education for the next few years. But at this point of time, it seems that i am in more of a dilemma. The workload on my own side isn't as light as before and i am starting to worry too, which led me to decide to finish my tuition career with them after they finished their exam.
Their love for me would definitely not be considered as a major part in my decision making, but it is an undeniable fact that it would play a substantial part nevertheless. Currently, i would still be sticking to my previous decision and i believe i need more time to think it through.
Happy Teachers' Day and thank you boys for giving me such wonderful memories. All the best to your studies and learn to be more independent k? =))
