My Life at St John's Institution ♡♡♡


When I first came to St John's Institution (SJI), I couldn’t have imagined how much my life would change. One of the best things about teaching there is you get to raise students' aspirations and make a difference in their lives. The students are so entertaining, they always surprise you. I miss talking with the students, getting to know them, and helping them learn a subject that I love. I miss the good, unexpected moments like when the class shares a joke, students thank you for your help, or say that your teaching inspired them.

Passing on a love of Mathematics was wonderful, and I realised that I could never be bored teaching at St John's. When my students tell me they had a fun lesson, there’s a level of satisfaction and it was a completely different experience. Granted, I also have my frustrating days, and days where I wonder what I was thinking getting myself involved in teaching. But who doesn’t have those, right? It only makes the good days that much better. Hehehe :).

Now, let the photos tell you the whole of my St John's story ♡♡♡ (credits to my Facebook friends and students for the beautiful, precious pictures)

Yes, you also get visits and messages from your ex-students to prove it. It's great to make the difference and, as they say, it does make it all worthwhile. In addition, I also miss sharing my lessons with my colleagues. I miss talking to people who are as passionate about teaching as I am. I miss working with them.

Hehehe
