Teacher's Day - What It Means To Me And How I Celebrate It Every Year From Primary School Till Now
As a kid, Teacher's Day meant a holiday in school - no lessons for the day! It was like Children's Day, but for teachers.
I should've known sooner that it means much more than just no lessons.
Back in primary school we celebrated in the same almost every year. We would get a speech from the headmaster (Or 校长 as we call it) and the head prefect. Later we would watch the performances by the students involved, like Chinese yoyo, 24 season drums, and some singing acts (They are what inspired me to try and sing on stage today). We then go back to our classes were a small banquet is held. We would eat while watching a movie in class.
When I moved to secondary school it was only then I learnt the truth behind Teacher's Day.
What is Teacher's Day?
A day to celebrate the dedication of teachers.
When I was Form 1, I realized some of my friends and classmates performed for Teacher's Day, inspiring me to do the same.
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you how Teacher's Day is celebrated in SMK Damansara Jaya. We start of with the formal beginning, then we do the speeches by some respected bodies,which are the chairman and CEO of PIBG SMKDJ and our Pengetua who later on makes this celebration official. The teacher then go for a crazy sports match which involves four stations and nearly impossible challenges. The banquet is held in the special room meant for ceremonies - Bilik Rafflesia (A.K.A Rafflesia Room).
This year, I was able to perform with my best friend in the banquet. (It wasn't as awesome as it would be in the Hall, but it was good enough.)
We later have the performances presented by both teachers AND students.
(Oh, we also have prizes for the sports match and the best dressed teacher!)
I later realized how important teachers are to everyone. Teachers play an important part in society. Without them, a whole generation can be ruined.
It's a beautiful day today,
Birds are singing,
Flowers are blooming,
The rain will go away,
What's remaining?
Children laughing.
Today is Teacher's Day,
Don't forget their contribution,
So let's shout: "Hip hooray!"
And show them our appreciation.
