I decided to add some positive energy into my classroom. I asked the students to write out what they were thinking of by answering "questions of the month" in their diaries. I wrote down two questions on the blackboard outside my office. And then I started seeing some amazing ideas and answers to those questions.
Here are some of the answers that are worth sharing. Sad to me, most of the answers are things which many of the adults, including me, have forgotten or don't notice.
My first question: If you had a million dollars, what would you use it for? The following are their answers.
—I would give it back to my city. So I could make it a better place to live in.
—I would buy food for my family, so my parents could enjoy some free time to take a rest.
—I would give it back to the school so that teachers could buy books, pencils and better food for their students.
—I would give money to children without parents, those in need, and thecharitythat would buy houses for the homeless.
My second question: What does someone do for you that helps you most? The following are their answers which move me.
—My grandma helps me with my homework.
—My teacher helps me learn what I didn't know, and I thank her.
—MY family care about me, love me and give me no matter what I want. I love them!
—My mum, she's always there to remind me of how great I am. My dad supports me!
As a teacher, I love my students, and I learn that they all have a heart of gold.
