I was so happy and filled with tears on joy on Tuesday night. After so much delay, I finally got down to calculate the marks for my Foundation Science class. This is the first time they are being tested for Science. Science has always been a non-examinable subject for them . I only taught them for one semester. So in a way, my expectations of their performance were not that high.
I was so excited and thankful....about one-third of them passed the paper and one of them even scored more than seventy marks. I cannot wait to release the results to them but I am now sick at home. I am sure they must also be very upset that I was not able to see them in school today. Or, perhaps that is part of my wishful thinking.....
I see many of them trying very hard. They have a clearer picture and a high level of self-awareness of reality and the challenges in life. Although they do not have a bed of roses to lie on, they have a strong and positive outlook. No matter how hard life is now, they face it with a smile and that sense of hope.
I am inspired by them. Honestly. They are very brave children. They may not have a headstart now. But I know that they will go on to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives in the days to come.
Dear Lord,
thank you for everything so far. Work has been hard and tiring. My health is also being challengd. But I know that all that I am doing now allows the children to move ahead and explore the many mysteries and marvels in life. I pray for strength, perseverance, wisdom and guidance from you Lord, so that I may do your work and give you glory and praise. Please continue to guide me and walk with me, for you are my saviour and light.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
