A Great Day!

I don't really attend parties but today's invite was an exception. My student had been asking me to be in her birthday party and when she handed me the invitation personally, taking it out of her backpack one afternoon, I willingly accepted. And after being there, not a single strand of regret.

The party was well-attended by all. What I mean is that all of my students were there. The best part was that all the parents were there too. I felt good seeing them there. I felt great seeing the companionship and warmth each families extend to one another. The parents were happy, the children were exquisitely joyful. They were ecstatic and none was excluded.

Seeing those moments of bonding made me think that my eight months work with these children paid off. Seeing the parents sharing positive anecdotes about school was enough to feel proud of what I do. Most of all, seeing the families happy was enough for me to continue what I do best.

To my wonderful twelve angels, thank you for a great day.
