Christmas Card

Christmas time is fast approaching. Today I let my pupils make their own personalized Christmas card for their parents. They all have good choice in color combination and some still needs practice in writing their thoughts in the card but the card which I really notice was that of Rachel. Before we did the activity she told me that her mom has already gone to heaven so I told her just make one for her dad. When it's already time to pass their work I read her message to her dad. It was really beautiful. Rachel's messages moved me. I was really touched how she thank and acknowledge her father's love for them. I hope that she will fulfill her promise to her dad and grow up to be a mature and responsible child to her dad. Her mom must be so proud of her.

Play

Kids are playful today. I just couldn't understand why they love to play and they don't even get tired of doing it. They keep on running, jumping and skipping. I could have done those things too when I was young like their age but I wasn't able to do it because I'm sickly before even until now. There are a lot of things that I'm not allowed to do. Too much play and too much fatigue can trigger my asthma. Honestly I felt that I have missed a lot of thing in my childhood years. I wasn't able to climb on the tree, ride a bicycle, and the one which I still wanted to try until now is too play on the rain. I guess I wouldn't taste the cake just to know if it is sweet when I already know that it is for my own good. Looking back then I didn't really have such boring childhood because I play dolls and plastic plates which don't require much physical strength but I still couldn't help wonder what it feels like to climb the tree, ride a bicycle and play in the rain. I hope someday I'll have those chances I would really take it. I see to it that my kids in school got to play what they wanted in the right time but sometimes they over do it that is why I let them play after class time.

My Favorite Pupil

He is not really my favorite but he always caught my attention. I don't understand why he behave that way. He teases his classmates, he go in and out of the classroom, he is happy when someone gets hurt, he even inflict pain to his classmates and he don't even value his education. It hurts me so badly because he is a part of my class and it seems like all options have been taken for me to win him. It is not all the time that he makes bad things it only depends on his mood. I pitied him when I found out that he is living with is grandmother and he did opened up to me that his mom and dad live separately and have a family of their own. I could feel his pain. For how many times I tried to understand him and for all the love I've shown him it is just not enough for me to heal his pain until he could accept his life and start living without begging for his parents to give him the time to be love and to love them in return. Everyday he wanted to be seen and to be noticed at. I could not help it but to discipline him and tell him what is right from wrong. His wounds are too deep to be healed. I know in time someday he will realized and accept everything. I'm hoping that he will truly be fine soon. I'm praying that he would choose the right path for his life.
