A lucky little girl


Ruth came to class today as it she had no lessons. She is a lovely little girl, looks sweet and smart and lovable. She gives me no impression of a girl under the pressure of having to performed simply because her mother is a PhD holder and a Professor who lectures at the university. Instead, she simply enjoys her childhood with all the fun and of course discipline from her parents. Ruth is lucky to be born to such a mother and family which is able to provide her not only the necessities in life, but also all the love that parents can give.

I wonder if she feels proud of her mother everytime she comes to our class. Ee Moi is someone I respect alot. She not only has the knowledge to share with us, but she has this personality and way of being simply hrself which commands this very firm sense of respect filled with integrity. I am always very interested in her class. I can speak freely and I feel at ease. I do not feel put down when my views seem skewed or off tangent. Not in Ee Moi's class.

Ee Moi's way of teaching, her personality, and perhaps sometimes, that look she has in her eyes simply captivates me. I look up to her. I respect her. I admire her for achieving what she has today. A family, a Phd and a career which she is passionate about. I want to be like her. She inspires me. The twinkle in her eye shines at the very moments in life when I am tired and am looking out for signs of encouragement. Her smile is warm and true. She exudes happiness and bliss and joy.

If I were Ruth, and I see the professional side of her, I think I would be very proud of Ee Moi. I would look up to her and strive to be like her. Ee Moi knows what she wants. Despite the challenges in her life, she has come out strong and wise. There is clarity in her life and I know that I can trust her.

Dear Lord

I am not sure if this is called Providence or Fate. I am very happy to get to know Ee Moi and the other students in my SS class. This is one of the happiest times in my life, of course, other that the times I have shared with Matt. Thank you Lord for allowing our paths to cross for I have one more person to model after as I seek greater clarity and direction in my life.

IN the name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, Amen.
