I was feeling quite aloof from and numb to all that was happening on this occasion.
It should not be so, some teachers might say, since for the first time I am witnessing my students actually graduate. I have been a teacher for almost a decade now but I had been handling undergrads and I had left the institutions I was working with before my proteges had the chance to march on stage to get their diplomas.
I should be elated, melancholic or even jubilant, but I was not. I tried to find the reason for the dryness in emotions? Is it because of my age? The last time I graduate with classmates was 14 years ago. Maybe, but I am more inclined to say that it is because of the fact that in my own eyes, I was not able to become a really good teacher to these students. I did fine but there are just too many should have beens in the way I relate with them, with how I was in the classroom, with the delivery of the lectures and ideas, with the actual content of the curriculum.
There is before me the coming school year. May it be more successful.
