After school, I was told that there would be badminton games. I decided to watch because I knew some of my adorable grade 8s were on the team. I had never really went to a badminton game that was held at school, so I did not really know what to expect. I saw some little kids and their parents sitting on the bench. I saw a few students stood by the door to watch the games. There were a few teachers that came by to take a peek too.

It was fun to see the students’ active side. I got to talk to a few of them while I was watching too. I was cheering for one of my students when she played. It was quite an exciting game. I enjoyed watching her played too because in one of her written responses, she told me that in order to see her “evil”/”monster” side, I needed to watch her play sports. Haha. She asked me if that was why I went to watch the badminton games. Partly, yes. I like to students in another environment, other than the classrooms. However, I also want to support them. I think a few of my students were surprised to see that I got excited when she scored. They were laughing at me and said “miss lui”. haha. I enjoyed letting my students see the other side of me too. Outside of the classroom, I could be just like them, cheering for someone that they like or their friends. 🙂
