It is on days like these that we teachers realize why we choose to be teachers. All the love and affection that our students shower on us on this day are enough for us to energize and motivate us again and again, year after year. The flowers, hand made cards and the decorations in the classroom that the students in my school put up, not to mention the special program organised for the teachers made the day so special and fun.
This day gives me enough drive to last me for a lifetime, builds the unspoken bond between me and my students, helps me believe in myself and makes me feel loved, wanted and respected. It is a good feeling to know that my students reciprocate my love and affection.
I can't think of any other profession in which there is a chance to get such direct feedback from your customers! A bit daunting...the prospect...but for all the hard work and patience teachers invest in, it's great to see that your students reciprocate with such love and affection.
