Finally, I have some time to sit down and simply take a rest. So much has happened. And in the midst of typing this, I had to go around looking high and low for Ryan. Thank God that he is alright, just doing his corrections in the Chinese teacher's afternoon class. I asked him how he felt about going to Canada. He recited the speech that his mother taught him. He mentioned about learning new things and making new friends. And when I asked him if he will miss Zhenghua, he said "maybe", with his voice breaking away. Although Ryan is a boy who often drifts off in class, he is still very adorable in his own ways. He asks questions which are out of the picture, he has a very innocent look. One can see that he is a good boy by nature. He may not be the model students like the elites. But he makes my tears flow, simply looking into his eyes.
Dear Lord,
am I being too emotional? Am I going to cry every year as my students move on? A simple event such as this and my tears flow as freely as the river. Please guide me and speak to me, dear Lord. Teach me to do my job well so that the students will be able to achieve and develop their potential, so that they will be able to lead meaningful lives. At the same time, teach me to manage my emotions too, knowing the softer side of me.
Thank you Lord, for hearing my prayer.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
