It's my first Teacher's Day celebration today. In Woodlands Sec, we had the ACES Day in the first half of the morning. Followed by celebrations. I received a bouquet of flowers (a dozen pink roses) from my class 3E. On of the boys "piggy back" me up to stage. It sure was embarrasing....fun but embarrasing.
The shocker of the day came later in the afternoon. A few of my ex AI students came to look for me at Causeway Point. What surprised me was the fact that they (2E4) "made" me a poster bearing their greetings and well wishes. I only had one thought...."They remembered me".
Is there anything else that I cold have asked for.......10 weeks in AI was a short period of time. 15 weeks later........they remembered me. Sandi, Feon and Wei Wen were at Causeway Point to meet me. Eileen joined us later. They looked different. Just like Cheryl (whom I saw yesterday). They just looked so different now.....very much more matured and taller. All of them will turn out to be gorgeous young ladies I'm sure. In fact, they all look taller....I wouldn't be able to recognize them if they weren't in their school uniform. I'm sure they would have dressed and looked differently in their "home" clothes.
I never expected anything from them. Let alone "gifts"...gifts from the heart. A poster with the well wishes from 2E4 as well as a red daisy. To think that it came out of their pocket money...I'm touched....sincerely touched.
Sandi kept on saying that I didn't care about them anymore....I guess they don't much. My current students feel "sick" whenever I told them about my ex-students in AI. Every now and then, they will be mentioned. Even when they're not mentioned, they're still in my thoughts. I'm grateful and thankful that they still remember me....for how long? I don't know...
Thank you my little devils,
RuDy
