People We Love / 我們愛的人

這一兩個星期進教室之前，總會看到這張令我心一振的海報，因為暗暗覺得那就是我啊，卻沒有人來和我說，我的肖像被借用去當教師節的慶祝活動了。

These two weeks, before I go into the classroom, I never miss this poster which gives my heart a lift. I secretly believe it’s me, but no one told me about my image being borrowed for the celebration of Teacher’s Day.

今天心血來潮一問之下，發現是子榕的作品，而且果然主角就是我，本來就覺得這個作品很有fu，現在就更喜歡它，想到每天上班都可以看到自己，這是很大的鼓勵呢！而且我很高興我的側影旁沒有附上「師恩如高山流水」這一類的祝詞。

It occurred to me to look into the matter today. So it turned out to be Zi-Rong’s work and it’s me in the picture! It caught my eye in the beginning, and now I only get to like it much better. What’s more encouraging than seeing myself when I go to work every day? Besides, I am glad that next to my silhouette there is no cliché like “Teachers are as great as God…”

坐電車回家時，讀到Jodi Picoult寫的一句話，我們愛的人每天都會帶給我們不同的驚喜，好像再怎麼認識，都還是有期待之外的未知，每天每天都有不意擦出的小火花，我真是喜歡我的工作！

When I was reading on my way home, I came across some words in Jodi Picoult’s book. She said, people we love surprise us every day. No matter how well we know them, there are always sparkles and fire beyond our expectations. That explains why I like my job so much!
