The End of Time..: Stars and moon, hear my praying..

this year is the 10th year i've been venturing into the world of dance.. and the 6th year i've been teaching the young dancers.. from a kid.. to someone who loves to dance.. to someone who wants to dance professionally.. then to someone who wants to contribute to the dance society.. time flew by real fast.. and i've grown at an incredibly fast pace..

to be honest.. i've been shaken by the reality for several times.. but i wonder.. what is it that makes me hold on to it for so long..? and after all these years.. i've got my answer.. it's the children..

teaching has never been an easy task.. but i fought my way through here by "just do it" kinda mentality.. without anyone helping me.. telling me what's the right way or a better way to teach..

sometimes i do screw up.. big time.. but i've never stopped to improve myself further.. what's more rewarding is to see the children.. from someone who knows nuts about dancing.. they become someone who understands the spirit of dancing.. and from there.. they proceed on with their own life with those knowledge.. and become a better person..

having taught six batches of juniors.. i really have to say i'm most satisfied at the current batch.. perhaps it's my fault for not growing up fast.. so that the previous batch could be as good as them.. but the current batch is the only batch that understands my logic.. my way of doing things.. and most importantly.. what i'm trying to put across to them.. that dance is related to life.. even though they might not understand from the beginning..

i've given them unreasonable requests.. one of it is to write me essays and reflections.. and i knew how hard it would be for them to achieve what i want at their current level.. but they did it anyway.. and they did it perfectly.. they got my message and from there.. they will excel and pass down whatever they have to the next generation..

seeing the new bloods shine has never failed to drive me.. it drives me to become a better person.. a better leader.. a better teacher.. and be better at what i already did my best.. and this year.. will be a benchmark.. a checkpoint for me to remember always.. that i once succeeded in bringing up a group of kids and have to continue at what i'm doing.. i sincerely thank all of them.. for setting up some fireworks in my dance journey..
