This is the end, this is the beginning

What an emotional day! The students I'd been with for 6 years graduated! My first teaching cycle as a classroom teacher ended!

But is it an end? Definitely not. This is the beginning of another journey. For them and for me.

With different cultural backgrounds, it was a little miracle that we met and became teacher-students.The truth is, I learnt probably more from them than they learnt from me. Because of them, I start to shape out what true education should be. It not about to simply acquiring knowledge and reciting facts. It about how we see this world, where we are in this planet, how we express ourselves and how we connect with others. It's about curiosity, empathy and a life long passion towards learning. They firmed my belif day by day, and now that they left, I want to bring what I believe and what I learn to a place where shares the similar with me.

Adios and all the best!

Here are some photos that just made me cry. Last school day, I walked into classroom and saw this.
