We are always so happy to have our students back in school, and why not after all what is our job...all students' centred isn't it ?
So , this academic year begins and I am full of inhibitions as every year .But all my fears are ill founded and my inhibitions out of the window the minute I see the " devils" in blue , disarming all us adults with their smiles and their animated nonstop chitter chatter.
So ,the day goes off in a haze and through my daze I leave my class working my way out through the maze of student groups and as I head towards the car this tall burly fellow walks across the corridor , hugs me tight and touches my feet ..."MAAM I MISS YOU, CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE ELSE AS MY FORM TUTOR_"
That was my teacher moment ....I cried and hugged , overwhelmed at the loving gesture .Thinking my day is made; I smile & tell him ,through tears " Bache children move on ...we are here for you anytime that you need us " and soon I am accosted by a whole bunch of these "devils " ,all hug snatchers - my last year's batch .The chitter chatter continues ,I hug I cry tears of joy ....I smile and make my contribution to the banter ....
My job here is done ...and my next batch awaits me tomorrow morning....it's a new day and a new way
