My Musings
New skin. Just felt that i needed to update my blog skin once in a while and something that allows people to read in ease. :)
How have you been? Hope your week had been great; at least you have percieved it to be great. Yea, daily situations might not have been good but ultimately its how we view the situations that matters. Because in the manner we view the situation(s), this is how we are going to resolve it.
Am on leave today and finally had a chance to go back to the sec sch i used to teach for 2 yrs to visit the students and teachers. Got to say that i was a little apprehensive about returning at first because I have been away for so long and there is a uncertainty in my mind of whether I should return or not. But nonetheless, I went back. I just want to say that the only thing I missed the most are my students. Not the teachers, the food, the building, the alleys but my students!. As I walked past their classrooms earlier, some of them spotted me and shouted from the classroom "MR GLENN!..."..haha..immediately I just feel that love and appreciation coming out from a group of teenagers. Yes they may be young, but they do know how to appreciate people around them. I don't know how to use words to describe the feeling but it just melts my heart there and then. Yes I am sentimental. However as they were having lessons, couldn't interrupt; so I just made a brief appearance along the corridors.
I miss all of you guys so much!..look forward to see you again in july!
Went to watch a movie titled 'Freedom Writers' earlier and I got to say that it is such an underated movie; meaning its awesome! Although there isn't any movie stars in it but as it is based on a true account, it shows how a teacher can pour out her own life to make the lives of her students better simply by:
ENGAGING THE STUDENTS TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES.
I really encourage you to watch the show because there are so many lessons to be learnt from the story itself!.
Lastly, just want to end off by saying that life has many bends and turns, ups and downs but ultimately the only support and pillar of strength that we rely on is God and through His strength, we can then be a source of strength to our loved ones and friends.
Take care and God bless! :)
