In the beginning of this year, many of the kids have left. Too many changes have happened. Whatever reason it is, I do miss them. I miss sitting together with them while they played games on their handphones. Then we have a new staff who came and several from the few that I have left were given to her.
My focus was on seeing them finish their studies as soon as they can. So, I helped them as much as I can. I wished I had done more. It's ironic. The faster they progress, the faster they leave. I kept thinking to myself, after these kids have left, what do I have? Credits? Cards? Gifts? Gratitudes? I appreciate all these but these will not keep me company, talk about random stuffs with me etc.
I have come to conclusion long before and now I am reminding myself. My job as a teacher is to teach, instruct, coach and so on. After that, they are to leave and see the world for themselves. Hopefully, they have learnt something useful from me. I do hope that someday when I meet them, they'll be successful people. That would be fulfilling.
