Counting down to freedom is finally over. I'm finally free. Those 2 weeks of running the holiday programmes, I was really upset because I will not be able to hear their voices calling me so dearly, getting hugs from them the moment they enter the room, hearing their laughters when I made silly acts, the expressions when I read them a story, their cries when they need my attention,clinging onto my leg when they want my attention to be focus on them, sharing their excitement when they achieved to put on their own shoes, keeping their own lunchboxes, succeed in recognizing the phonics, pretending to be cubs while I'm the lioness. I had so much fun during those 2 weeks. These children have been with me since the start of school, I faced so much difficulties and struggles in many areas, understanding their individual unique characters, cracking my head trying many ways to extract their fears and being open with me. I received rejections many times but I did not give up. I moved forward till I gained their trust. The children now are very cheerful and always running, laughing, socializing, love to try new things, enthuastic in any activities I organized and of course whenever they accidentally call me Mummy. So cute and they have been a part of my life. Though they make me angry with their stubborness and acts, they'll end up coming to me and apologize with tears in their eyes. That melts my anger away. Haha..sometimes it's hard for me to get angry for too long with them. I love them so much and felt so guilty when Sarah's mother came with sunflowers, crying, thanking me for everything I've done for Sarah. Sarah was previously a reserved child, do not like attention, love doing her own things and never wanting to participate in any activities. Now she's a cheerful child, making friends with everyone, laughing with them, sharing her things and joining in any activites. A tremendous change in her made her parents happy and of course myself too. I taught the 3 and 4 years old phonics, they enjoy learning that a boy whom I never expect to say this to me : I love phonics, I love teacher Mariah and I want to come to this school forever and ever. He was one of the difficult child that I handled at first, now he has so much joy in him that all his acts that he made makes me laugh. His sister aged 2 years 10 months was previously very difficult to get to her. But now she's so vocal, love to learn and enjoys making friends. I am angry that my principal said to the parents that she came up with the programmes for me to run. Bullshit! all the efforts and the programmes are my ideas!! She was afraid that once the parents know that I'm leaving, the parents will withdraw their children as they are very close to me. Some crazy thoughts she has in her mind. My gosh! Well, all ends peacefully. Even some of the children did not know about my departure but I got to give them all a hug. I love them so much. Same sentiments as my student care place. I'm so close to them and saying goodbye was so hard. Whatever it is, I have gained the students trust, the parents trust and I've collected countless memories and experiences. I'll carry them with me to my next destination.
