I can see my child in the eyes of student. I can feel the pain that she is hiding deep with in, and I can sense the colossal amount of effort that she exerts evrytime she tries to smile. I can imagine the troubles she is facing now.
She is facing the same trial that my daughter faced 3 years ago. Her family is in the verge of destruction.
She gave me a letter; a letter that I never imagined I could receive from last week's teacher's day. You couldn't believe that this letter could be written by a 10 year old girl. And I will quote..."
Dear Miss Khaye
happy teachers' day!
Thank you so much for your love and care. MAybe I can only give this but I know and feel a letter is not just a piece of paper with our feelings but it is much worth than other things.
from you I learn more, to know more and to get more. Learning about life, science, humanity and reality. I learn many lessons which influence my life, then they become the lessons of wise life and happy life.
Sometimes I didnt feel happines in school, but I know happiness is not a gift, it is our right and struggle, we have to struggle to keep good relation with God and others.
Ms...... as a teacher you are a great oe, you are a teacher who explains not only according to the book abut also according to your imagination. Life is full of problems, we have to do a good action and take a good choice. We also have to struggle to solve problems.
You are one of the ones who influence my life and help me understand this problems. You have a wise inspiration, and you encourage and motivate my life.
Ms.... do you ever know how much I love you? ? It is more than you ever know. When you're teaching me, it is like you put in knowledge, happiness and love into me. I know problems get into all our life but the key is patient, love, hope and the most important is the communication with God.
I love you miss Khaye P.s sorry if i could only give this to you
Thank you for everything!
Love and respect
your student
I decided to keep the identity of my student a secret for her protection and welfare.
If only I could make the pains in her heart go away, I would do it. If only I can carry her cross for her, I would! For I know that those pains were once felt by my daughter, and that cross was once carried by my daughter.
I just couldn't believe that there are selfish people like her father and his concubine who could do these things to the life of a child. Sometimes I ask myself, If only they could feel the pains in the hearts of these young ones, would those "animals" still do it?
I saw how her happy face turned into a frown, I witnessed how her laughs turned into woes and I heard how her songs turned into lamentations. Could his father noticed them too? If he does, why continue hurting her child?
I can only pray for my student and encourage her to fight, to keep believing that all will be well someday, to keep putting her trust in the Lord that everything has a purpose, to forgive and accept everything because it is only through that, that she can find peace and to keep smiling for victory will be hers in the end!
