    Well done Chrisov,
    3 hours is quite a stint.

    Hope the aches and pains dont linger for too long,
    and hope your students buckle down and learn
    from your knowledge.

    Love Kath

    It has to be worth it Chrisov because you're passing on your knowledge. The aches and pains are possibly due to the stress and they'll soon go - fingers crossed. I agree with Kath 3 hours is a long stint, especially after 11 years.

    A gold star for you.

    Luv Legs :D

    Hi, Thats great news, it gives you a start. After such a long break, it must be hard mentally and physically to do that. I find any different activity, even if I'm just sitting and talking or listening takes it out of me. I think, you probably tensed up when you did it and now the muscles are tired and stiff. Great stuff, though. :D

    Take care, love Sue

    hey well done Chrisov - 3 hours is AGES when you haven't done anything like it for so long.

    hope you soon feel less achy - but just remember what an achievement it is!

    if there is only one in the class who has appreciated you that is so great - how would they have improved without you?

    I am so impressed that you have done this - congratulations

    Good for you Chrisov! What an achievement. :D I most definitely think it is worth it, if you enjoyed doing it. You don't know how much of your knowledge sunk in and how many students have benefitted. If you see these students again, in the future, you may though. I do hope you will continue.

    Think positive, Chrisov, you were asked to do this. You did, and survived. I think you are brilliant and as my daughter would say, "you rock!". :D

    Luv

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    You should be proud of yourself!
    Im only just back at work following 8 months off and find 3 hours in the morning on my feet a struggle, espeically teaching a bunch of teenagers that arent interested in science and rocks!!

    Well done, Crisov!
    Bet it was great to feel part of things again. You should feel so proud of yourself. Keep in touch on here on how it progresses but don't try to do more than your body tells you.
    love Pennie x

    Hi Chrisov

    That is great news, and I think it is worthwhile. In my opinion, any work is good for the soul, and you meet new people too, which is always a plus.

    If only one of your students learns something which sets them on a new path in life, then it has to be worthwhile.
