I have been teaching since 1992 and I have loved every
minute of it. Every year at this time though I get very nostalgic as I am
preparing to say goodbye to my class who are going off to big school.
Every year I make a DVD slide show of pictures I have taken
of them during the year and as I watch their happy little faces I feel like a
little part of me is going away. These are my children, yes I call them mine,
because that’s what it feels like. I have worked with them all year for 4hours
every day and they have become a part of me. Each child is unique and each
class brings something new and different. Each child has different strengths
and all of them have lovely qualities. To name a few: I have a boy who has the
most enquiring mind, he never stops asking questions, then there is another boy
whose smile is so big that his whole face lights up. There is the little girl
who is loving and affectionate she is always making me little drawings. I could
go on and on about each child and find at least one wonderful thing about them.
And then there is one little girl who
just stands out, not as a favourite or anything like that, but just because she
has taught me something amazing this year.
She is the most cheerful little girl I have ever met. She
loves everything and approaches all activities with such enthusiasm and joy.
She arrives every morning with a big smile and gives a big hug. Then enquires
about our activities for the day and when I tell her she just gushes with
excitement. She is like cheerful on steroids. I call her my little ray of
sunshine. I have only ever seen her
unhappy once, and that was because her dad was away and she was missing him. Her
attitude towards everything is so positive and she is caring and kind towards
her fellow students.
Last night was our class gym display and at the end when I
was saying goodbye to everyone in the doorway, this little girl turned to me
and said: “Oh teacher, look the sky is pink, it’s so pretty” I looked up and
saw that it was. And you know what, had she not pointed it out to me I probably
would not have noticed. As I was driving home last night I marvelled at
how pretty the sky was.
This little girl has taught me to look for the good in
everything and have a positive attitude towards life. I hope she never loses
her sunshine.
Her skin really hasn't showed a lot of improvement but every little bit counts. It looks a little better but not much. hgh side effects
