These photos made tears roll down my eyes in lieu of making me smile. Being with these people 5 times a week convinces me more that I have made one of the BEST decisions in my life- to become a teacher. The process might be tough and rough and yet, I feel no regret at all.
I was in the verge of giving up teaching early last year, but something inside made me feel hopeful to continue and go on. If there is one thing I have learned from my previous work, it is how to learn how to wait. And, THIS was it.
This is what I have been waiting and looking for- my SECOND home.
Creative Play Corner and the people behind this loving home have shown me what love really is. They have taught me how to be PATIENT, CONSIDERATE, and SELFLESS. Without their undefying love and warm hugs, I would not know that love is NOT just shared by two, but with EVERYONE.
Almost 2 years as a teacher, I know I have done really good and of course, learning will never stop there. I know I still have a long way to go.
I may feel exhausted after a 3-hour class; yet, completeness and satisfaction dominate. These babies have made me feel elated, brain-drain, or grumpy, BUT the greatest feeling of them all is that I feel great love each and every day. What is more greater than seeing your students improve and develop? Hearing their first sentences, getting random sweet nothings, and seeing them write their names for the first time are more than enough.
And, nothing or no one can compare to that; to them, for that matter.
Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers out there, most especially to my CPC Family!
