Uh, hullo!
Today is the 16th of May and as we all know, it's TEACHERS' DAY!! Yay! (As if it makes any difference for me. No holiday. Boohoo!) To every teacher on Earth, this is your day. Go do something meaningful. (Why isn't there a special holiday to commemorate this day? Even the event for Teachers' Day are organised by teachers themselves. Tsk. Students these days!) Without me realizing it, it has been a little over a month since I first started this whole teaching business. My students still try my patience constantly. Especially my 17 years old students. I know I'm cute and everything, but asking your teacher out is still a no-no, dear. I'm older by 8 years than you and I'm looking for a guy with money. Heaps of it. (Surely by now you know that I'm a materialistic girl!)
(Okay, I'm kidding about being cute. I love myself dearly, but it does sound vain to tell people that you're cute.)
I'm not sure if my students read this, being terrified at English, as if the language is going to kill them or something. But if you are a student of mine, and you do read this, please, I'm begging you, THINK OF YOUR FUTURE. Think before you act, before you do something rash that will affect your precious future. You still have a very long way to go. This world is a massive place, explore it first, before you decide to settle on something worthwhile. Seriously, quitting school at fifteen to start a family is just, IDK, stupid? Come on, you're only fifteen! FIFTEEN!! Normal teenagers have crushes at fifteen, not spouses! Goodness!
And dear students, please, STAY CLASSY! Especially girls. Stop swearing, cursing, cussing, or whatever it is people use nowadays. I understand the allure of uttering those crude words, I sometimes "blurt" them out myself. But trust me, you are abusing those poor words. Cursing in every single sentence your small foolish head conjured is just too much! What good would it do you? Maybe you don't care, but living in this judgmental world, sooner or later the weight of these judgements will get to you. You'll pay the price then.
Dearest students, as hard as it is for you to believe, I do care for you. (Ha! Not to brag, but I find discriminating is totally hard!) And when you got punished for whatever wrong you did, trust me, my heart ached like crazy. Tsk. But then you grinned they thought they were praising you instead. Guess you are THAT great. *smh* Don't you realise that the harder the teachers punished you, the deeper their love for you is? They come to school everyday, (EVERYDAY!) just to make sure that you get your share of knowledge. (Fine, we do work for money too. But hey, money is essential for our lives!) So why don't we take a little bit of our time, to think of what the future could bring us if we strive to grab it, instead of idly standing here, watching everyone else move forward and pass us by.
Really, it never occurred to me to condemn you through this post. (Well, if you do think that way.) I just meant for you to know that at the end of the day, the most fortunate of all would be no one, but you. You still have an empty white canvas and you have the chance to decide what to draw on it. Not that I'm saying that we teachers don't get to choose our lives anymore, but our paths are limited now. But you my dear? You have this whole wide world to explore. Go on an adventure and don't let your irrationality tie you down. To the rest of the teachers, Happy Teachers' Day. God bless you.
