today i saw some of my students smiling in front of me when they got their results. i also saw students crying in front of me. and i have to pass them tissue paper. my colleague beside me had to play the "mother" character and keep comforting them.
yes i had taught graduating classes before, but i teach them together with another teacher, and i am not the main teacher. so...
but this time round is different. i am the main teacher responsible for that class. i taught them for 1.5 years. their results are my responsibility. whenever they din do well for tests or exams or prelims, i always reproach myself. especially for year 2011, when i was too involved with the anniversary celebrations, i went for reservist twice, for 3 whole weeks, in feb and august.
to be very honest, their results were not up to my expectations. but i truly believe they tried their very best. and i am proud of what they have achieved.
and to add on, my tuition student also got an A1! she was very happy because she said only a handful in her school got A1 (she come from a girls' sch in the east), and her chem teacher was super shocked that she got an A1. haha.
so the top student from my workplace is a girl. she is my wushu student! 武状元。haha. she scored all distinctions. and her L1B5 is 7 points! win liao. potential CEO of a big company (hopefully not SMRT).
