Teacher's Day

Across the island today, all schools will observe Teacher's Day with celebrations and possibly even having class parties. Well, I remembered that when I was still schooling, Aug 31st was a day when we showered our teachers with gifts, cards and our well-wishers. I recall the many teachers who had made an impact in my early years. Although I did have some of them who were very harsh in their speech and punishments, by and large they did so for our own good. At that point in time, I simply hated them. In retrospect, I am very thankful for their guidance.

In just another couple of months, I will soon join the ranks of full-fledged teachers who will impart our knowledge and life experiences to our charges. I am certainly looking forward to that as my own schooling life journey will be a source of inspiration or even light entertainment for my students. This fact can be confirmed by some LPS students past and present.

Happy Teacher's Day.
