Quick thoughts

Other people and things may divert your attention at times. But no matter when, the only thing that stops you from improving is yourself.

Recently, I can't help making predictions about my students' future. I do that subconsciously, but it keeps floating on my mind. I see many things. I see too many things.

Standing there, in front of nearly 30 pairs of eyes, up on the stage, bearing THAT kind of responsiblity, sometimes, I just wanna cry. Not because I am sad, not because I am scared, not because I am troubled, but because I see sadness, fear and anxiety in their eyes amidst their seemingly joyful faces. I see people selecting the narrow yet right path, but I also see people treading the road to decadence. It hurts especially when I can't do much. But, out of all these, I see how all of them can shine. I see a bright future in every one of them.

Yet, I don't know what will really happen though I am eager to find out.
After all, only God knows.

p.s. I can't believe I had the feeling of quitting so early this year. Yet, it is also the same reason that keeps me going.

    其實對我黎講,番學真係一件開心既事,只係難免會有時多功課、多tests、或者成績差既時候,先會有唔開心既時候,不過落左堂之後,同D同學一齊談談天,就會一切煩惱都唔記得晒 =]
    相信老師面對既壓力,一定會比學生既多,面對既唔開心,一定比我地更多,但係你地既傾訴對象卻比我地少...加油啦!!上mr. yau既堂,我好開心,次次上親英文堂/LS堂,都好期待,好開心,因為好輕鬆咁就過左一堂而且可以學到野 =]
    只要做好自己,就可以啦...神會有安排既!!加油呀mr. yau!你掂既!!!
    送你一節金句,鼓勵鼓勵!!!

  2. 多謝你鼓勵啊 =)

    每次見倒我ge學生, 雖然o個陣好辛苦, 但係都好開心架. 講真, 好感恩有機會做老師, 縱使我係幾咁不足. 有人問過我, 教書最開心係乜, 我諗, 就係睇住你地成長啦!

    你都加油啊
