women's day


Last week Tuesday Hungary celebrated International Women’s Day. And boy do they know how to celebrate it! The teachers’ room was filled with flowers and chocolates and sweet notes from students and fellow colleagues. I was blessed to have my boy students from each of my classes come to the teachers room and give me a flower. It was so sweet and generous of them. I even received one of my favorite flowers, a gerber daisy. This day may be a little like how people view Valentines’ Day in the States in the fact that it is a good way for the flower shops and chocolate companies to make money, but I viewed it as a chance for classes to show me that they care and appreciate me, as a woman and as their teacher.
