It has been about 2 years since any of my volleyball teams have gotten into the National Semifinals in my 3 years reign. I just feel that the girls deserve to be where they are because I have seen the transformation in the way they play and in the way they react to stress and pressure on court. These group of girls will go far if they can keep this spirit of unity and belief.
The C Boys for next year would need to learn about this from the girls. They have to adopt the right attitude in training and in match. The next batch of C Boys will be great if they can strive to do their best and commit their time to the team.
I love all of them and really hope to see them grow for themselves. I may not be able to show my care in certain ways nor am I sure if they feel it. All I hope is that they will see why are the coaches and teachers pushing them so hard to attain what we know they can. It is not for our glory nor for the school. It is more of achieving for themselves what they can do.
I have personally lost games which I felt we should not have lost. There were regrets and we lived with those regrets. There were games we lost but we knew we did our best so we had no regrets. Thus, I just wish for my players to play to their fullest potential and not live with regrets. Whether they appreciate me in the end, it does not really matter. If they do, it would be a bonus. When a pupil told me he/she knew that I care and appreciate me for it, I was elated. I am happy that they appreciate. I seek not the accolades nor the gifts. All I want to know is I made a difference in some of their lives.
All I want is to know that their lives have been impacted and that they know where they are heading in life.
Idealist? Maybe... It is also this that has caused many teachers to quit the service because they feel unappreciated and have many of these ideals not fulfilled. As for me, I will keep reminding myself teaching is for the greater good of each pupil and it may never be seen during their secondary school life. I pray that I would not lose sight of this too...
Pupils, jiayou in whatever you need to do! Keep believing...!
