Exam week is a dreaded time for all students. It entails lots of stress, anxiety, and a lot of crying. It’s quite difficult to get a student’s spirits up when faced with the pressures of exams. But this teacher made a difference.
Dhey Ferma Soan shared the small surprise she set up for her advisory class just before the first day of their exam week. She prepared small “loot bags” with candies and a short note of encouragement for each of her students.

After setting up the surprise, she left and went back after an hour. She was met with awkward smiles and numerous thanks, even adding that they’ll definitely pass the exams after such a surprise.
