There are memories worth remembering…

For the past 7 months being with them is one of my most treasured experiences and lessons for me as well.

“ Teacher, can you please help me again with my A-B-C?”

“Teacher, I like the story, can you read it to me again?”

“teacher, I forgot how to write this letter, help me please?”

Experiences that taught me the real virtue of patience sometimes they’re pushing me beyond my limit, I could have shouted them. But I couldn’t

“teacher ! look! A butterfly! So beautiful isn’t she teacher?”

“teacher? Why is it raining? I hate rainy days I can’t play outside..”

“Thank you teacher! You fixed my toy! I’ve been trying to put back the pieces but I couldn’t”

Experiences that every new day, is a new beginning, they gave me Hope that made me realized Life can be sweeter.

“teacher? Can you draw me a rainbow? My mom is sick I want to give it to her”

“teacher! Look, I brought you something.. it’s a jelly-ace! Let’s eat together”

“teacher , mommy said I have to stay with Daddy in Korea, I don’t want to stay there, can you please tell mommy and daddy not to fight anymore?”

Experiences that reminded me to pause and appreciate simple bliss and things in life, that I should be really thankful for what I have in my life that I tend to neglect. problems they have that were beyond my control. as much as i wanted to give them an answer for evry unanswerable questions.

I can’t believe it, how soon this was, how time fled so fast, how as much as I wanted to stop the time.

I can’t sleep because lots of memories keep on flashing on my mind… I don’t want to sleep! Coz I don’t want to miss a thing. I love to recall all the things we did for the past months. But the more I reminisce the more tears fell in my eyes. But these tears are happy ones.

Tomorrow will be their graduation. last day to see those eager minds trying to discover day by day what life really means, last day to feel their embrace for no reason at all , last day to sing with them and hear their voices that we practiced day by day for their graduation , last day for the feeling of happiness that they’ve become a big part in my life and the very last day I could ever see them again.

Lord, give me strength to face them tomorrow. Give me enough strength to finish the graduation program without crying out loud. Help them to remember all the lesson and things I have taught them.now they are taking their first step in the real world, no more "tacher Grace" to help them along the way. my only prayer that one day when they grow older and we bumped to each other they can say "Teacher Grace! thank you for being my teacher...."
