Feelings of attachment to the children

Mdm M came to me today to have a chat. SHe told me that the children from 6 Respect missed me and have good reviews about me too. Mdm M had given them a form and asked them to write down what they thought of my music lessons. She said that the feedback was good. I wonder what they children wrote about me. I just cannot wait to see the reviews.

Mdm M also made a comment about me. She said that I have the X-factor. I was and am still thrilled. I simply love what I am doing now. The daily interaction with the children make me feel happy and gives me a sense of meaning. It may be that brief moment of eye contact or smile. It may be that few minutes of explanation of subject matter. But I know that I played a part and I am glad to be given the chance. But my heart simply fills up with joy and happiness knowing that I have given my best and my efforts have been beneficial.

I met Maha and his friends, and Tanya and Idaya on my way out of the school. They had just finished their supplementary lessons and were excited to be out of school and on the way home. I chatted with them. Told the boys to be careful sitting on the chains and screamed at Tanya for running across the road when the traffic light was still red. They asked me if I will be leaving them and they asked me why. I did not give them any direct answers because I simply do not know how to answer them. At the same time, I do not wish to leave. I miss them.

I will be having my last lesson with them tomorrow. THe focus is on lyric appreciation. But my main motive is to give them the idea of self-reflection. This is in line with what Mdm M has been doing. But perhaps from a different perspective and to allow the children to better appreciate what Mdm M has been doing. I also hope to share my thoughts and experience with them so that they have some form of input to move on with life.

I love these children although I have been there for only one month. God knows if I will see them again. I pray for their joy and well-being. And I hope that I will get to meet them one day again....

Thank you Lord. Thank you for everything. I am so grateful that I do not know what to say. Just Thank You Very Much!!!!
