Today was an emotional day for me. I woke up feeling surprisingly good and alert(even though I woke up late today) I thought i would be sleepy as I slept really late last night.
I went to school. My first period was with 43 and I was eager to give them my cards. I sincerely wanted to wish them all the very best for the 'O' level exams. I have a good feeling about the class. I hope they will score many, many distinctions.
Then, I went to 5B.The mood was weird. There was a tinge of sadness but also an anticipation because it was our last lesson together. Even though it was our last lesson, we still managed to cover some grammar tips. I told them about the donuts and they were very happy. I didn't give them any cards because I had already given them their cards and gifts before the prelims. I hope my card would motivate them to work a lot harder for the exams.
During recess, I gave the yummy donuts to 43 and 5B. Then I went to the hall to practise the song item which we would be presenting tomorrow. The lyrics of the song was very meaningful and I teared a little when I sang the song.
I was really excited about VE. I have arranged a special activity. It is something like a Guides' Own.The pupils all sat in a circle. I played sentimental music that really helped set the mood and tone. Some of the pupils were already tearing. Then I told them to close their eyes and reminisce about the past. Then I drew a name from a box. The person had to sit in the middle of our circle and the rest of would pass a talking chip around. We would tell the person how special that person was and how he/she has touched our lives. Of course there were some funny moments but the whole thing was really touching and edifying. Then my pupils put me in the middle of the circle. I couldn't stop my tears from flowing. I was proud of how mature they have become. I was pleased that all my hard work had paid off. They thanked me for uniting the class and bringing fun and laughter to their class. I was very touched. They also put Mr Liu in the hot seat and said really nice things about him too.
Tomorrow would be bitter sweet. I will be saying my goodbyes to my form class 5b, a class that made me cry and laugh. I feel very strongly for them and I will really miss them when they go. They have touched me immensely with their caring ways, their funny jokes and their willingness to love one another . I really love the camaraderie that we share. I really hope they can make the school and me proud by doing exceptionally well in the upcoming exams.
