This year's Valentine's Day is just like usual. I would be waiting for the one person to take me out but it would never happen. That person would rather be out with his friends or maybe lately with a bunch of girls who works with him. But at least I have something else to do which brightens up my day at least.
I was asked by my friend to help out with her Saturday English classes as it is a replacement class. Normally I would be helping out on weekdays for the secondary students but today is special. I would be teaching the primary students. Initially I was suppose to help teach primary 5 and 6 students but last minute, I was asked to teach primary 1 too. At first I thought it would be very hard but in the end, it was proven otherwise.
I got up early as the primary 1 students would come at 8.30am. There were 4 adorable girls and boys. They are so talkative and full of stories to tell you. As I went through their lessons, they have so much story that is related to the day's topic. The energy in them cheers me a lot. Each of them were like trying to gain my attention by calling me to listen to their stories. While there is this one boy who is so adorable who tries to scare me and make me jump ^_^
After the morning session, I have a few hours break before my afternoon classes with the primary 5 and 6. It was about 3pm when I start the primary 5 class. The students came in looking at me as I'm a stranger to them. After warming them up, they were all very fun to teach. They are energetic once they warm up to me. They too have a lot of questions but are more quiet. I think it is due to shyness. Once of the assignments that they are to do for the day was to create a poster where they end up taking more than an hour. It seems so hard to ask them to stop when they were so into creating their poster. In the end, it was fun being with them.
Right after the primary 5, I have the primary 6 class. This is a smaller class as there were only 7 students but one of them was equavalent to 2-3 student. This is because he is so active, energetic and not easy to gain his attention. He was talking and interrupting me every time I'm explaining something. He would jump from chair to table like Spiderman ^_^ It was cute but somehow I manage to make him do what he is to do. While there is a girl who is quiet and another 2 girls who are adorable and interact in the class. There is this other boy who loves to talk and talks a lot. He has like millions of stories waiting to share with me.
But in the end of the class, it was fun and my mood was better. To feel being appreciated as a teacher is a very rewarding feeling. To see them learn and want to learn more is amazing. In future I would have a chance to be with them again. I do hope I can make it more fun and enjoyable ^_^ At least it took my mind off a useless person for the day ^_^
