The Serenity Prayer

Last Friday, during Lifeskills lesson, I asked your class to write a reflection for me, stating inside what you have learnt and how you have contributed to this class over the past few weeks. I would like to thank all those who actually took time and effort to write their reflection and share it with me. It was quite heart-warming to see what some of you have written. I was comforted to know that some of you actually learnt quite a lot. I, too, learnt a number of things over these past few weeks. Thank you, 3A2, for teaching me a valuable lesson that I will never forget.

I thought that I should also do likewise and share with you guys my reflection. However, I would only share what I have learnt over these past few weeks, as your form teacher.

When I ponder over this question, the very first thing that comes to my mind is "The Serenity Prayer". Some of you may be familiar with it. I think it reflects exactly how I feel then and now, and the lesson that you guys have taught me.
