The reason I'm there is because of them. Many things that I do is for their sake, especially the dissection. I can't imagine life without them. I have grown so attached to them that I have no life apart from them. Holidays are a dread to me because I won't be seeing them for quite a while.
Of course, being their supervisor is never easy. Being a friend and a teacher at the same time is difficult. However, I enjoy it. There is so much I want to teach them and show them. Awesomeness of God's creation is so awe-strucking.
As they grow up, one thing that comes to mind is that they will leave one day. They will have their lives somewhere else. Not that they are ungrateful or unappreciative but I would want to see them go and see the world and be the somebody that God has created them to be. However, I do hope to have the opportunities to sit down with them some time and fellowship and talk about things. That would be nice.
So far, many has left my life. It's a wonder if I will ever see them again. One thing I know I know is that I have left a mark in their lives. Not to show that I am a great person but to live with purpose, to leave a legacy for them to carry with them. I am not just a teacher. I am the teacher. I am Mr Nicholas. That is who God has created me to be.
