The PSLE results were released today. As usual, it was customary for the P to address the crowd with the analysis of the year's results. Overall, we have done well. As the pupils were getting their results, we can see them streaming away from the teacher's table. Some had smiles on their faces and some had tears streaming down their faces. Whatever it is, the pupils have crossed the first hurdle in the Singapore context. As the pupils were walking away from the table, I felt that somehow, they were also walking away from us teachers. We know that they will go on to pursue their goals and interests. At the same time, I will also miss them. I may not be their form teacher. I may not have had many opportunities to interact with them other then music lessons. But I sure do miss them. A few of the naughty and active ones.
Oh Lord, please bless these children and grant them the wisdom to make wise decisions as they move on to other challenging aspects of their lives. Please guide them and show them the way to happiness, joy and belief in you.
Thank you, Lord. Amen.
