Two months ago I said goodbye to yet another batch of students and in my usual fashion I silently missed them and remembered them with affection. Every two years the cycle repeats itself and I am no less surprised that I can still be affected by many of their departures. The good thing is I have learnt to deal with it in a less emotional way and take it as part of an occupational hazard. I think. Sometimes it feels like how a parent has to let go of a child to let them grow wings and fly, but at times it's like saying goodbye to two years of a relationship and never to see it again afterwards. Sad I know. Teachers don't just put their heart in teaching but some teachers steal hearts and let their hearts be stolen.
About two weeks ago we received new students and the cycle is beginning again. Haha. Yet as I look into the faces of the fresh and eager students I can't help be reminded of the old ones.. My only solace is that they will keep me in their prayers just as how I have them in mine.
