Reflection:
We received a lot of acknowledgement and praises. Parents appreciate my putting together this puppet show. It’s a lot
of encouragement. These compliments should also go to my mentor teacher, my husband and my mom. Without their
support, I couldn’t make this show happen. While I am greatly encouraged by parents and colleagues, I am also
reminded that my identity does not come from their acknowledgement but from my loving and dear God.
