Enthusiasm… Motivation… Excitement

I often wonder why I chose to train for (in my day) kindergarten at the teacher’s training college I attended. I mean, they can be frustrating, tiring with their endless energy, impatient, loud… The list is endless. I am sure that most parents will agree. I am not saying that the other age groups are not without their challenges, but the younger ones?

Then Tuesday, 19 July arrived and it was the beginning of the third term. That was when I remembered why I had chosen to teach this age group. Along with the frustrations, comes their passion for learning, enthusiasm, motivation, boundless hugs and just their absolute honesty: Teacher, you look beautiful, but you are still old.

Quite honestly, with the joy our students bring into our lives every day, I would never ever give this up.

I would like to wish our students, parents and fellow teachers a wonderful third term.
