"Can I hug you?"

A student came up to me while I was having my lunch at Macdonald's last Saturday to say hello and bye.
He took a few steps with his father before turning back to say "can I hug you?", then he came and wrapped his arms around me (:
Such random gestures of love can do so much for teachers. It is appreciation, encouragement and inspiration. Appreciation for what we do, encouragement to continue it, and inspiration to do better.
It seems I'm unknowingly using the blog as a platform for journaling some of the precious moments in teaching. I remember a lecturer once said "A teacher reflects daily, the lesson, the teaching, the classroom, the children, and herself". Starting small myself, but I hope I get there one day :D
