Moving on

Today was our last day together as a class. My kids are moving on to the next grade. 

This was my first year as a class teacher and the experience was fantastic. I had great kids in my class. It dint dawn on me until then, but as we discussed the good moments of the year, I understood that being a teacher was not just about imparting knowledge, but also about touching lives and I had touched theirs. And they had touched mine. 

We shared a special bond and we had learnt a lot from each other. I knew I was going to miss each one of them as move on in life. Tight hugs and miss you’s filled the last hour of the day. With the last bye, teary eyed, I thought to myself-   I might teach them again, I may not; but the memories we shared are going to be cherished forever. 

I feel it. Almost every day. Especially today. 

A Year Gone By!

I cannot believe it. It is devastating to me - well, not exactly. But it is a sad that I haven’t blogged in over a year. Have I been that busy? Or did I just forget that I had a blogging site? Whatever - I am back and I am hoping to be a little more active here on. 

A year has gone by. A year with lot of things happening. Good mostly. Been busy with school – debate club, drama club, school magazine etc etc..  and then with the horrendous B.Ed. I completed writing 27 records for that and it was taxing to say the least. I had everyone at home contribute in their own way for my B.Ed. Managing school and college work at the same time took its toll on me.  

A year of some good movies, songs, travel and  books. Can’t remember it all of course. Not many books though, but loads of travel, movies and music. 

It has been fun watching S grow up. He is becoming more independent by the day and sometimes it is scary. But its good to have an independent child than have a clingy one!

As always, life has been good to me. No complaints. I can only hope it continues like this.

So long, Y!
