Ame: Big victory!

I have a student in form 6 who told me he hasn't handed in his homework in English since form 3. I do not know if it's true or not but I know that it's always hard to get anything from him. To get his first paper that I asked him to write I had to run after him for nearly 3 weeks, give him detention and make him sign a contract. I wasn't expecting much for his other papers.

This morning, there was a knock on our office door. My student, all smiles, proudly handing in his paper! Sure, it's 3 weeks late again. But, I didn't have to ask him about it, not even once! And the look on his face, so proud of himself for surprising me like that! And I was so proud of him too!

This is the kind of little things that make it all worthwhile. It made my day, my week, my whole stage even!
