Every year, our school celebrates its Teachers' Day or what we call Appreciation Day. The students this year chose the theme of "Vacation" and early in the morning before we logged in for work, we were greeted Hawaiian style--with a serenade and a necklace of flowers. There was a mini-program for the teachers inside the classroom in the first few hours of the day, then we were brought to the gym where the students showcased their talents through songs and dance and even a few videos to show how they appreciate their teachers. Then during lunchtime, the students served as our waiters and our overall entertainers. This happens just once a year, so most teachers look forward to this event. During this time also, we are usually given small tokens and a few letters from our current students. We read words of appreciation and love(? haha), and a few teachers even cry while reading these letters.

Events like this make teaching SO worthwhile. I won't ever get rich by teaching, but thinking about the minds I have molded, the lives I have touched, I just cannot ask for more. It's paradise on earth. :)
