Today will be my last day at work. Although I'm looking forward to a life of independence (no 30 children replying on me about what to do next...), I know I'm going to miss them a lot. I'm prepared the farewell cum advance Children's Day gifts for them. Hope they will like them :D
The new teacher surprised me by conspiring with them about a TOP SECRET. *Children love secrets....* She prepared a picture of a tree on two A3 papers combined and got them to paste little notes shaped of apples, pears and leaves. It's really really heartwarming that she bothered to do such a thing considering that we've only known each other for almost 3 weeks. Her energy is an inspiration especially for someone who's not 100% healthy. I've learnt a lot from her since she's very experienced.
She's one of the blessings I've at this school. With someone offering tips and advice, it really helps a lot. Her personal gift to me was a book that inspired her and she wanted to share with me and 13 or 14 other ppl (she told me she bought 15 books. Same title! So that she could give away). I don't know if she's given away all the books yet but I'm really honoured to be let into this sharing session.
I shall read this book soon!
In a way, I do feel kind of bad for not being able to offer anything in return for all she has done.
My second blessing is sort of different. It's this person who would look for me when he needed someone to stand in for teachers when they couldn't make it for tuition sessions. He's grateful to me for helping out and even told other admin staff about it (*paiseh...) but he didn't know that by giving me the opportunity, I was also able to take in extra income.
I should sleep now.
