144. my first anniversary as teacher..

1st April...
a date associated with pranks..
a date with memories..
a date i started my working life as a teacher..
a date i got the news of my first posting..
a date of driving long distance..
a date i saw my first school..
a date i saw a bat house..
a date of decision..
a date in the rain, finding for a place to stay..
a date of confusion and self pity..
a date of not wanting my parents to leave..
a date of loneliness despite the company..
a date which is filled with events..

a date to be remembered..

i can't believe it's been a year now..
365 days..
not too long..
nor too short..

i survived all the drama in school..
i survived the frustration of handling students..
i survived the proud moments of my students' success..
i survived the gossip of colleagues..
i survived the hectic moment in school..
i survived the long hours in school..
i survived the joy of accomplishments..

definitely a date to be remembered..
