Today, towards the end of QED526 class, our teacher asked if we celebrated teachers' day last Sunday. Many of us replied 'no' and he held up a yellow bag and said, 'it's okay, here's a teachers' day present for all of you.'
All of us were so shocked! It should have been the other way round! Sadly, it didn't cross my mind that I should prepare something for my teachers and this sets me thinking...
I remember when I was young, I was always looking forward to special days like children's day, teachers' day, youth day etc. But I realised, as I grow older, these days to me are just like any other. This is really quite a depressing phenomenon that as we grow, we forgot about the simple yet significant things that we once held close to heart. I am thankful, for being reminded of this fact, for being reminded that it is always heart-warming to feel appreciated and remembered.
