I'm back!

Back from NZ last week. Will post the experience later in the blog.... But for now, I just want to announce that the results of SSABSA exams 2007 are out!!!!

The SMSs and calls have arrived since this morning.... word of thanks and appreciation. Its good to get thank yous at the end of the year. Makes me feel that I've made a difference in the lives of my students. These results are the turning points of their lives since they determine whether they can pursue their dreams studying overseas - Australia and New Zealand. Of course, as a teacher, I hope that this time round all my students get to go.... so that when I go there for holidays I have people to help me out :). The first person to thank me was Pat. I guess she thanked me quite early in the morning because she had a rough start in the beginning of the semester. Getting the topic and format right for the research paper proved to be a challenge. Hard work paid off! Then Jack called, notoriously known in class as the 'hyperactive' when he's awake in class... always have questions that picks your brain... Its good to have students like him in class, challenging you every step of the way.
