silence from the class

in a few days time , my students will be leaving me ... and for once i will hear nothing but silence ... hmmmm ... no more talking , laughter and tears ..... it has already started to seep into me .. like today only 12 turned up and by tomorrow most of them will not come ... i try to be brave for them .... i got each of them something small .. normally i do not get them any gifts but then again it's only once a year .....


they are the best bunch that i enjoy working with .. no, i am wrong actually i have enjoyed teaching them and every year i look forward to my new students .....
i have been trying to find the right words to say to them but it does not come .... i put it off , saying that i could always talk to them later but i am guessing again what does a bunch of kids want to hear ?


today some of my students went on a trip and you could just see that they were not their usual self .. maybe because i did not go along with them .. i don't know .. kids are like tightrope .. they become close to you and every awaken moment of their lives , when they get to school , it's you that they want to see the most .....you can say anything to them but at the end of they day , they look out for you ... i think that is what makes it so special being around children ....


so where do i go from here ? my hopes and prayers will always be with them .... wishing them all the best .. the best is yet to come ...
