"Thank You Ma'am" notes make me smile . . .

In our college, we have student aides. They help us maintain the cleanliness of our faculty room. We also request them to do errands when time does not allow us to do the same ourselves. Some of them are also our students but some are not. The following notes come from them.

Aidz writes: Thank you Ma'am for being so joyful. It is more than enough to brighten up somebody's day! God bless.

Maricel shares: Blessed day Ma'am. At first, I really did not understand why God brought me here in the faculty room. I am ashamed of teachers so I tip toe everytime I enter the office. As the days passed however, after observing what you do I began to appreciate why I want to become a teacher myself. Now I feel happy everytime I see joy in you as you give your best for the students to learn. I am fortunate to know you more and am blessed to witness how noble teachers are. Thank you Ma'am.

Liway divided her note to Learning: and Unfogettable Moment. Under Learning she writes: I now become more careful with what I say! Under Unforgettable Moment: When you requested me to prepare lunch for your students who had a seminar-workshop. I may not be the best cook but because of this vicarious experience I realized I have more skills I can improve on. Bye Ma'am!

When I receive notes like this, the teacher in me knows more fully why I have remained a teacher all these thirty years and more. Notes, like these, make me smile. Thank you Aidz, Maricel and Liway. May your tribe grow more in number.
