I loved school. My favourite game to play was school. As I grew older I realised that working with children and being a part of their educational journey was the only job for me.
When children are enjoying their learning and you can see their excitement and enthusiasm. To be able to give them such experiences is truly wonderful. Plus the hugs from happy, content children never fails to make me smile.
Working with children is wonderful – I’m sure I was destined to work with them in one capacity or another.
Every year I cry tears of joy and pride – at the Nativity, during exam weeks, at the end of the year and when reading cards or looking at pictures the children have created for us.
As a teacher who cared and made learning fun and interesting.
I never fail to be surprised at the achievement of pupils, the dedication of the staff and the happy atmosphere in school.
So much! The hard work and determination of the children. The commitment and enthusiasm of the staff. The support and care of our parents.
Exciting!
