birthday celebration by p3eucalyptus

Today, some of my students gave me presents as my birthday is coming. I m so touched! Hong Wei ( one of my naughtiest students) together with some other boys stayed in class to decorate the board. They hoped to surprise me the moment I stepped into class. They did not attend assembly. So happen that on today, there were a few changes in the teachers' schedule so, they had Chinese first instead of my English lesson. Hence, when the Chinese teacher went into class and saw Hong Wei and his other friends in class, they were scolded. When I went into the room, I saw Hong Wei crying. I asked him why. He refused to tell me but after I heard the story from the other students, I was so touched. I went over to him and smiled at him. I think, this was the first time he saw me smiled sweetly at him. All this while, he was always the one making me angry, with his shouting and rude manner. I realised that he did all this to get my attention. He stayed back during recess to make a birthday card for me. My student from previous years gave me cards and gifts too. I was surprised that they remembered my birthday. I was so touched. I guess, this is the joy of being a teacher. Although I put in lots of hard work, its all worth the trouble seeing how appreciative they are. I really love my students now. They just need lots of attention and love from me.
