Patient

Hello everybody! Last week, i asked my students to use the word 'patient' in their sentence. A girl named Chloe straight away said, " Teachers must be patient because they are teachers". i looked at that girl and asked, " Is that what you think of me." And with confidence, she said "Yes". When she said that, suddenly i felt guilty because that morning i scolded my 3 A students. So, am i a teacher because i lost patience with them? The next day, when i entered 3A, i looked at the students and started teaching. When they were talking, i stared at them and they kept quiet. Wow, that's good. i didn't smile at them , i just taught and taught. Then, we had a quiz. they answered my questions correctly and what else could i do ? So, i made a big announcement. I told them that they could have an early recess today because they behaved well in my class. All of them shouted Yehhhh and the monitor proudly stood up and said "Thank you, teacher" and everybody followed. A few of them still said " Thank you " to me before leaving their class. And i smiled at them and told myself,"they are good kids". Yesterday, i scolded them and they changed into angels today. Yes, i must be patient because I AM A TEACHER. Chloe is right.....
