I'm in a new school this week.
Different atmosphere, different teachers and different timing.
There is minimal teaching to be done, and it makes relief even harder cos the students can only misbehave to spend their time.
Their innocent faces makes it hard for me to scold them.
Who in the right mind will scold little angels?
After thinking for a while, I realised that I just have to start small.
Started to warm up with the office staffs, then a few teachers and lastly the students.
It is hard, especially when there isn't a permanent class I can build up relationship in, like my other school.
But this boy made my day.
He is adorable, yet very different from the rest of the kids.
Tavin told me about him, and he seemed to be standing out even though he was doing his work diligently in a corner.
The smile that he gave motivated me, and reminded me of something.
We cannot hope for the environment to change and suit us, we have to change to suit the environment.
This primary one boy has definitely taught me something.
Thank you, Brian. =D
