Today I made the hugs campaign at the university where I work. I have to be honest,yesterday I was excited about it but today I was so nervous because I didn´t know how my co- workers and students would react. I even though about postponing it.
To make the story short, I´m shocked! The first person I asked for a hug inmediately said Yes! I didn´t even have to explain why!
The students got so happy ans excited that I got more and more nervouse in every class,( my cheeks were shaking, when I spoke my tongue got all twisted, my voice was cracking from time to time). This campaign was created to reach out to the others, but I honestly can say that it reached out to me!
I think I was the most needed in getting close to the others. Some people hug me and told me that they really cared for me but they didn´t like pictures, but that didn´t stopped them from reaching out.
Today I learned that I have to stop thinking on what others think, do, or say, and just reach out when ever I´m needed. And I also learned that I may be the teacher, but I´m also a person with feelings and it´s great when you let your students get close and maybe give you a pat in the back and help you go on.
I really want to thank all my students, my friends and co-workers, not only for helping me accomplish this assignment but for making this a very special day for me!
P.s I made an album with all the pictures from the campaign, feel free to check it out!
