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..
