THE TASTE OF WARMTH

THE TASTE OF WARMTH


It has been long since i left my post as a teacher in Oxley (which has turned into a tuition centre as well). i miss my days there and although work are tough and stress back then but the kids are mostly where i got all the motivations from.

Since the day i left after i resign, i missed them SO much and i even teared a lil` on `precious car when he came and fetch me home on the last day. i still remembered some of the kids even stayed on late just to accompany me and had their eyes watered when their parents came and when they have to wave goodbye. It simply just breaks my heart and at that very moment, i was wondering if i had made the wrong decision to resign and if i should forget about resigning and stayed on cause i know i defintely will very much miss this bunch of brats. But still, decision was finalised.


The next time i went back was the closing of Oxley (cause they are shifting & venturing into new prospect), all the were there, things didn't change, kids still welcome past teachers back with opens hands. i was so happy to be able to see them again and i seriously feel like hugging ALL of them.



(these are only part of my gems.)

might be wondering why i bring this old grandmother story up.


cause i've been receiving instant messges on Facebook from my gems (they actually log on to FB frequently as well), telling me how they fare from their tests and exams. Even though i might be a ex-teacher, they still regard me as a teacher and took the initative to let me know.

and lately, there's one that really touched me.

it was a message from Sean.

When i 1st met Sean (Pri 6.) on my 1st day, he was REALLY a very grumpy boy. My boss actually warned me on how grumpy, attitude and naughty, he can get nasty with teachers and on general, he hates teachers la (that's what she says). i was quite shocked by this but still, what to do, i may not be his direct teacher teaching him but i still have to come in contact with him. Intially, yes, he treated me very coldly but somehow after a few days, his attitude towards me changed. he bcame obedient when i asked him to complete certain tasks, though at time he will still show a lil` attitude but it was so much better than him showing attitude towards other teachers. Gradually, i was the one in charge of his supervision and he changed to a more loving and obedient boy. i was very impressed by his attitude though his academic results doesnt really had a big jump, but his overall well-being had improved drastically.
he's just a small kid afterall, throwing tantrums, looking forward to praises and rewards.
At times when i got really disappointed in him, i'll ignore and refuse to talk to him and he will come with an innocent face and apologise.
He's just this very special boy that i'll always remember and becos of him, i got a very big satisfaction as a teacher (of course including other very loving students as well).



after a LONG introduction about Sean, here's what he wrote that made me felt touched (=


okay, i feel stupid silly. ha!

alright, i seriously miss all of them and i hope to see them soon!
