Today my students gave me a suprise.
While having 2minutes break from the stunt, the team captain hollowed me to a corner and was intensely trying to distract me from the back. But I already knew something was up. Thanks to my sixth sense.
The girls gave me an Adidas paper beg, with the gift nicely wrapped in it. I saw the Adidas begs earlier and many of it, so I assumed that they had thier uniforms already. Or at least some new training jerseys.
Having 20 girls surrounding you, and presenting a gift they have really thought of made me the man of the hour. I wasn't able to hold unto the moment but gave me sincerest appreciation with the many Thank You's repeatedly. In the paper beg, was the gift (which was a Nike jacket which has my name and COACH embroideried on it!) Really thoughtful.
But the sweetest thing ever was the appreciation card they gave me. It's a Hallmark card so I should thank them for the creativity bit. The front page says #1 Coach. As I flipped the card over, there I saw the little notes from the members. I read the first, and as I was to til end I knew this would be a crying moment. I told them, I couldn't do this now because I wasn't able to control my emotions. They wouldn't want to see this tough coach of thiers crying to tears.
Aduhai...nak control macho tapi tak jadi.
It's nice to know that the girls do appreciate my work for them, but at the same time it is them that will succeed from this. Just praying for thier success and hoping to see their faces all over the paper when it comes on the front page of The Star on June 25! Fingers crossed!
