Today as soon as I saw An I ran to her;
"Oh, An, are you Okay? I was so worried about you."
"Of course, I am fine." She smiled so sweetly that I started feeling fine immediately. "There's nothing to worry. They have'nt treated me so bad really. I am being terminated with two months notice and salary. I have ample time to look for another job. It did come as a shock to me but...it's okay. One door closes, five more doors open. This is not the end of the world..."
"But why did they terminate you? You were so nice, experienced and qualified teacher..?"
"My salary was getting costly for them."
She hugged me affectionately. I felt so relieved to see her happy and usual self despite the unexpected termination. I am sure if I had been in her place I would have been too badly hit with dejection, depression and negativity.
She is truly wonderful to keep her spirits up and still not wish them hell.
Dear An, I wish you all the best for your future and plenty of love, happiness and success in life.
The last Saturday was my birthday according to certificates. My real birthday is in October. I didn't tell anybody and had no wish to celebrate it in school as every teacher's birthday is celebrated together with the whole school.
I was surprised to see that Cl remembered my birthday and didn't forget to sms me even when she was on her 4 day vacation to Ukrain.
By todayI had forgotten everything about my birthday.
After the morning circle Cl made the children sing Happy Birthday song for me both in English and German which I found very touching.
Over the coarse of the day the other teachers too came and wished me Happy birthday. They were all surprised that I didn't wish to celebrate...
Tomorrow we have a staff meeting...!
