'Thanks'

'Cher! Cher! Thanks for helping just now!' - Those were the words of a student from 4-3 that will remain vivid in my memories always.

I would never forget the look of sincere gratitude on his face as he hurriedly said his piece and rushed up the stairs. As I walked past him, the feeling of satisfaction and appreciation was overwhelming.

I finally understand the immaterial gains of teaching. I had only a brief 1hour with him. Relieved 4-3 for A maths. He asked a few questions, and I answered. Thank God I still knew my Add maths. Lol. Well, nothing much I thought. The feeling of being able to help was great, especially since maths was my forte. Didn't expect anything at that moment though. It wasn't till later that I met him after recess.

Well, don't actually know his name. Oops.

Anyway, amidst all the raw and brutal comments from students and teachers alike (Yes, a teacher actually told me I wasn't strict enough. In her words,"I think you better not teach anymore, you can't control the class"), the satisfaction of being able to teach is indescribable. Can't explain how I feel exactly, but this brief encounter has left its indelible mark on me.

If God ever calls me to teach in the future, this would be one incident that would always encourage me to press on!
