National Day Eve

As all other schools, my school celebrates National Day on the Eve. Every other year when I myself was a student, I had been happy on National Day eve cos it makes the start of a short holiday. But today, being in school as a teacher, I felt so much different. Instead of sitting on the floor in the hall, I sat on the chairs designated for teachers. Hearing the children sing to the national day songs with innocence and enthusiastically waving their flags, i felt so at home and happy. I feel really different being at the same event that I haf experienced myself years ago, but now in a different position.

Then, later my class 2k had a party. The p2 kids surrounded me, talking and laughing with me, asking me many questions abt me and them. One of them asked me why I chose to teach, and I told them its all because of them. =) i looked at their innocent faces and I thought to myself, its worth it.
