4 Days of conference

This week is the first time that I skipped 4 days on Mon to Thur of school because of a conference...I thanked the school for giving me the opportunity of going to the 10th Asia-Pacific Conference for Giftedness... it really opened my mind... time also to catch up with some good friends also. I am also thankful for all my colleagues who took over my lessons when I am away. They are really nice...
