It's 3.30pm and I'm still stuck in school (where's the Teachers' Day treatment man...) and I'm still in the midst of "settling" your presents hahaha...
Actually, I was talking to Mrs Pua just 5 minutes ago. We both agreed that the gift we always like to receive, is a handmade card or a short letter or a short email wishing us a Happy Teachers' Day. I love to read cards and messages pupils write, especially, especially, especially if you really meant for it to come from your heart.
I am not a perfect teacher. I am as human as any of you (except, just add a couple of years to your age) and like I always say, I make mistakes as well. I may not have taught you in the best way you could have learnt, or taught you in a manner which you fancy; but I think I do enough to let you know what is right and what is wrong (I hope so - *fingers and toes crossed*).
Academic results are but sets of numbers to me (of course, it is to YOUR advantage if you get 4A*s), but I really wish that all of you will leave the school this year end being a better person in character.
I just want to say, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME IN YOUR THOUGHTS this teachers' day. Your simple gesture of giving those little gifts and writing kind words in your cards/ notes to me truly means a lot to me. And it certainly encourages me as I push along everyday with you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you kids (I suddenly sound so old)!
