She was praised for my efforts

"I don’t want any imperfections! This time parents are also going to attend this seminar. So I want everything to look perfect. "

"Okay, Sir! You don’t need to worry, we will do our best."

"That's good, I have already assigned different tasks to the whole staff. I hope you all have started working on it."

I was doing a job as a teacher in the elementary school, where last summer it was some kind of seminar in the school. Parents were also invited to the seminar, so our principal advised us to make all the arrangements perfectly. I was assigned the task of making different posters according to the children's development in the school. There was also another teacher who was my helper.

We started our work almost 3 days ago to do everything on time. We made a list of all the required material for the posters and handed it over to the management. The next day, they provided us with all the material we asked them for.

"Don't you think, we should also get some ideas from the previous posters?" I asked my helper teacher.

"As you wish!" She replied.

She was not taking any interest, so I decided to ask the attendant to find old posters in the storeroom. After some time he brought out the old posters and I started working on them. I also searched for a different idea on the Internet and luckily I got some really good ones according to the event. First day, we made only 2 posters as most of our time was spent searching for different designs and getting ideas from different sources.

After the off time, I was at home but the thought of posters was still in my mind. I also brought some materials at home to make some designs. My mother came to the room to ask for dinner, but I refused.

"Come and have dinner, it's ready."

"No Mom! I will eat later as I am busy right now."

She was sure that I was working on something serious, so she never objected. The next day, I got up early and went to the school. But to my surprise, my helper teacher was on leave. I was surprised, as there was only one day left and there was so much work pending. However, I started to work to avoid any further delay. The whole day I spent making posters and I completed almost 5 posters for the seminar. I went to the management to get another helper, but they said,

" You don't need to make more posters as we received some posters from an organization too, so we think these would be enough. All you should do tomorrow to arrange books in the library and suggest different tags for them."

"Alright, Sir!" I replied.

The next day I reached the school, which was also the last day for the preparations. My helper was also present, so we started working in the library. It was for a long time that the library was being avoided, so books were not in their right place. We took almost two hours to put the books back in their place. Now it was time to paste tags. But as soon as I picked a tag, someone informed me that someone was calling me in the waiting room. I went to see and it was my mom, who came to take me along with her to her appointment. Almost the work was done, so I asked our principal for a half day's leave and he accepted.

In the night, I slept early as I wanted to be fully energetic for the Seminar day. So finally the day was here. I woke up early and went to the school. All the arrangements were perfectly made and the day went well. Parents were fully satisfied at the end of the day. Our principal was also happy, so he called a meeting in his office to appreciate the efforts of our teachers. One by one, he praised our work but I was surprised when he praised my helper for the poster's ideas and the library tags. She was praised for the efforts I put into making the posters unique. Later, another staff member told me that she bragged herself in front of the principal in your absence. I was sad to hear this, but let it go.

The End!
