A Role by any Other Name

OK, enough of the fierce posts already :-)

Time to blog about something more pleasant.

The school holidays came to an end last week, and our kids resumed school on Monday.

Upon reaching home, we noticed something pinned to our son's collar.

It was a curly-wurly pin with the words "ACS(J) Class Captain", which is the nomenclature for the Class Monitor.

As for our girl, she has been the class monitress several times already in the past 5 years (including this year).

In my 6 years of Primary School and 4 years of Secondary School, I was never a monitor, prefect or student counsellor.

So our kids must have got this trait from my wife, who was Head Prefect of her school in Primary 6.

I thank the Lord for giving them opportunities to be student leaders, so that they can serve in greater capacities when they grow up :-)
