Today was patron's day at my school and we celebrated it together with the graduation ceremony for the Sec 4s. I loved the way it was celebrated at my current school but I felt no deep connection with the graduating classes. I don't know why that is. These are all lovely ladies, perhaps, it is because I have only been with the school for a few months and have taught very few of the graduating classes.
Coincidentally, my former school also held their graduation ceremony on the same day and my ex-colleague who was my co-form was kind enough to tag me in the photos. It was so lovely to see my previous form class again and even better to know they were on the cusp of completing their O level journey. I had not seen these students for over two years but I was more affected by their graduation.
Certainly, two years ago, I would never have envisioned that I would have since switched schools twice. I had in fact while I was with them in Sec 3, made a mental note to myself to see them through graduation. Circumstances changed and it was not to be. Sometimes, teachers have so little say over the direction of their teaching life.
Nonetheless, I wish students from both schools, all the best for their O levels and future endeavours.
