Life as a Trainee Teacher - The sweet little boy who always melts my heart.
I had seen his picture before I graduated from college. He is my friend's youngest brother.
He is not the kind of good little boy who pays attention in lessons. He is not the kind of good little boy who aces in academic. He may talk nonstop about how he spent his summer break, and shared about places he had visited, delicacies he had tasted. He may complain how boring the school is. Putting all these aside, he has a very kind heart, he is creative, he is smart.
On the first few days of school, he approached me during recess time. He drew an airplane with a pilot on the blank page of my notebook.
"Here is a plane and a pilot for you! In case you feel homesick, you can take the plane home!"
He wrote me cards pretty often, and made crafts for me, using merely recycled materials he found in school. Those little gifts cost more than money. They brightened my days.
At the end of September 2014, I went back to my University to attend Trainee Teachers' Symposium with my professors. When I returned back to the elementary school, I was notified that there was a drastic adjustment made in school, from the next day onward, I would become their Science teacher. I was astounded. I was unprepared.
Seriously, I felt my lessons were so boring. I felt sorry for the kids. No matter how boring my lessons were, he was the most supportive student in the class. He would look at me, and answered every questions I asked, he got his assignment done. He attention was the biggest encouragement and console. :)
One day he had a fever. He heard that I wanted to make a para-scope. Not one para-scope, seven para-scopes. Without hesitation, he jumped out of the sickbay, and he started sketching on a piece of paper. He used his free time to help me complete the props I needed for the next Science lesson!

Lesson Observation is the highlight of every trainee teachers during the teaching practicum. The professors will come over to grade our teachings. The anxiety grew as the date came closer when I hadn't get things done. This little boy was so observant, that he realized how jittery I was those days. One day, he was wandering outside the office. I came out to see him. He asked if I was worried, and passed me a handmade card, with "Sweep away all the unhappiness in your heart" written on it.
There are many times he helped me. It's certainly a blessings to have him as a student.
