See you soon, kids!

Dear kids,
It would take a while more before you could really read and understand a blog. However, if you are listening to it, it probably was read by your parent.
The toughest time for me is to part with all of you. The first day we met, there was like miles of distance between us. As an English teacher, I had to really try speaking English most of the time. Haa…..how distraught it was for the first 2 months. Fortunately, we started interacting more and laughed together. Balancing is very important to me. I’ve got to juggle between your academic achievement and attitude growth. To me, the attitude is important above all matters. Sometimes, you really test my patience, observation and intelligence. Strange but after all those tides, we got closer and happier. I’ve sacrificed lots of weekends for work preparation…..but it’s worth it! Sometimes, I got ideas immediately after my sleep. Best of all, when you get more enthusiastic, you started suggesting ideas. You even challenged my answers which I love it because you have grown more mature. Your logical skill has indeed improved and impressed me.
As we adjourned to year 6, we have more responsibilities. Yet, your laughter and stories always reminded me that everyone is here for a purpose. Some are good at reading, some at drawing, some at speaking, some at logical skill and etc. Your beauty and innocence reminded me that everyone can be taught….and if any kid causes problems, it is just because he or she needs a teacher’s love and guidance.
The day you came, you were scribbling your book with wrong posture. Today you graduated with good writing and reading skill. You also showed good examples to your younger friends. I am proud to have known and met you. There are no words to describe my feelings except “Thank You very much”. Thank you for being part of my life. Let’s remember; always love your family. Love yourself and live life to the fullest! A small step can make a difference to the world :)
Love,
Teacher Jenny.
