The sunshiney smiles of the little girls could melt one's heart. It means alot to one whether she could be your helper or not. Try as hard as I could, it's never easy to be more hard-hearted. However, I'm in a position whereby if I am too friendly or sisterly, they would climb onto of my head, especially the boys "-_-
Being with kids is easy. True, it's tough to discipline them but it's easy on one's soul. It's easy because you do not have to put on a front unlike adults who are so difficult to fathom. Kids accept you as you are. They need assurance once in a while and a little smile from you could get them amused or mighty pleased with themselves (for God knows what reason). I don't know why some adults can feel so uncomfortable with kids.
There are times of disappointment too. Especially when they seemingly do not appreciate the extra mile you go for them in the preparation of the lesson. However, I have to remind myself that I too have been in their shoes before. Just that I did not have the audacity to tell my teacher straight in the face that I did not like a subject (which for your information, happened to be the 1 I am teaching at the moment).
Now.. it's time to prepare for tomorrow's lesson and then off to sleep. I'm exhausted~
