Most days being a teacher feels like a pretty thankless job.
Sure, sure the smiles and laughs are rewarding. The look on a student's face when he finally has a breakthrough and understands what you've been teaching him (for weeks) is rewarding. And all that stuff.
But it never hurts to actually be told "thank you".
As the only foreign teacher in my school, most days I'm just thankful if anyone talks to me - student or co-worker.*
So I wasnt expecting much (read anything) for Teacher's Day. In the past I had seen other teachers get an array of gifts - from flowers to sweets to other small tokens of thanks. Me? I've always gotten a whole lot of nada.
Not this year!! No this year I got letters!!!
