As a LSB Teacher, it seems like you only have a one-year contract to teach in a school you are in. So, you just get to teach for the whole school year and just like any grade school teacher, you teach the third graders today and tomorrow, they are already fourth graders. As a teacher, you should not feel sad when you promote your learners to the next level. Instead, it is an achievement for you to help them to level up. But, I don't know, it's just these kids have been a part of my system for the past nine months...the people I always see, hear, feel and talk to. The people that I always spend my whole day...whole weekdays.
I cannot describe myself as a teacher but I am sure that I am not the best even though I am really trying. I believe sometimes, I was strict, I was a disciplinarian because I want my students to be disciplined but I believe that I was also a family to them as I treat them as my family outside home.
After nine months, and I don't get to see my students often...vacation time is coming. Few students keep on coming as days go by. I don't even got the chance to heartily tell to them how I am honoured and overwhelmed to have the chance to be with them that even though they are noisy and loud...I am gunna miss their laughter, their smiles, their greetings, their sweet nothings and our relation as teacher and learners.
It is my first time to teach in a public regular school setting and I really learn a lot up to this time. Even though it is really hard to be in this place nothing beats the happiness I felt after I sent my students home and did not notice that some students chose to stay and surprised me with writings on our chalkboard saying "I am a nice teacher!"
Indeed, a year to teach my third graders ENDED but the bond that we established together will be ENDLESS!
