Teacher’s Day

National Teacher's Day is on November 25th. On this day, my school celebrates Teachers Day by holding an event. In the morning, when I arrived at school, the announcement speaker told us to go to the basketball court for an assembly. So, I waited for my best friends to come and went down with them. After that, my class fought over who should be at the front. They recommended that I be at the front, and so did my best friends. 

In the assembly, we prayed and pledged. After prayer and pledge, there was a speech from Ms. Indra, and then there was a dance performance performed by grade 8 students. And one of them was one of my best friends. She didn’t really dance with full energy. I thought it was because she might still be tired. After all, she just healed from her illness. After that, there was a dance performance by grade 7. I didn’t think they put much effort into it. They only played the ref part of the song and switched songs. After that, a dance was performed by grade 11. It was pretty cheerful. Then, one of the students went on stage and read a poem to the teachers. Then, there was a song performed by students for teachers. It was pretty good. 

It was time to give the teachers flowers and gifts as appreciation. The students gave the teacher a flower and a mug. Afterwards, there was a ceremony for giving tuition to the school principals and Ms Indra. Students danced, and pak Bayu prepared it. After the dance, Ms Indra left the basketball court. Then we had to shake hands with the teachers and say Happy Teacher’s Day. After that, the school gave us bread and water. After the ceremony, we went back to class and learned. However, each lesson only consists of 33 minutes instead of 40 minutes. I wasn’t feeling well that day and nearly slept in all the classes I had.

I guess that was all about the national Teachers' Day celebration at my school. It was quite fun but quite sad, too, because we still needed to learn afterwards. But at least the lesson is only 33 minutes long, not 40 minutes. Otherwise, I might fall into a deep sleep.
