D-Day

Or shall we say THE-Day ?
For me anyways it really was THE day. I finally met my students !
Some totally new ones ( Sec.2 ) and some very familiar ones ( Sec.4 ) whom I taught two years ago.
It really is all about the students. After days of preparation , it all boils down to them . They`re the reason you shower in the morning and leave ( in exchange of a salary I know ... ).
You work both for and with them.

The beginning of a school year is always fresh and exciting. New challenges, goals, objectives are established and it`s the beginning of the rest of the year. We are all rested , ready to tackle the world. Of course deceptions will occur but isn`t that part of the learning process ? We often tend to forget that if one can really taste and savour success , one must unfortunately taste failure to different degrees. As a teacher I will witness that . Your failures and victories. I will see you grow and surpass yourself. Not only academically but in general. I will witness your physical changes : growing a foot a month for example.

I also got to see my former students ( sniff sniff ) today. How you`ve grown this summer ! I miss you guys already. Some I will see again next year and some never since you`ll be graduating this coming June . I miss you all dearly.

On this note, I say " Later ". As days will pass we`ll get acquainted. But we`re in no rush right ? We`ve got the rest of the year ...
