A school invited me to its skills show, as I’d arrived, I’d found, that there weren’t that many projects, but, each and every one of them was, heartwarming. Because the school had put much thoughts in setting up a talk time between the teachers from outside the schools, with the parents, and the children, for them to have a heart-to-heart.
“You don’t know how amazing you are!” “if you can focus on these artistic skills courses, is it also possible, that you can also, master these courses that you’re, afraid of too?”, a well-known instructor of the field asked. A teacher in the audience mentioned, how after a semester of class in the lecturer’s classes, he’d written out the good qualities for every single student in the class, it’d, made the rest of the staff members ashamed, because he was able to, “see” the children, this wasn’t just an encouragement, but it’d, made the students more willing, to work toward their own goals, it’d, reminded all the teachers, to NOT forget how a student IS smart, it’d also helped the children believe in themselves more, knew, that someone SEES them, someone’s there, guiding them on in their lives.
“I can’t believe that my son could change”, “my daughter became, more settled down”, “from before when he got home, he’d, fallen silent, and now, he’d, shared with me, what he’d learned in school for the day,” the parents shared the changes they see in their young. There was a mother who wasn’t articulate, but as she’d talked about how her son had changed, she couldn’t, stop telling the stories, as a father heard his son thanked him, he’d started, crying, before he could, get a word out.
A child saw his classmates’ parents there, and thought of how his own mother couldn’t be there, he’d felt really sad; the principal told him, that his mother was working hard to make a living, and promised that he’ll, record down the footages for her, and then, the student started smiling.
“I couldn’t sit still from before but now, I can; as I was making the soaps, other than learning about chemistry, the technical skills, I’d also learned how to be patient, to be careful, and to, focus, that’s, something extra I’d, learned; so, hahaha, I had, made improvements!”, the child grinned ear to ear, as he’d, shared, then, turned around, apologized to his mother, on how he was, so unwilling to learn, and promised her, that he will, work hard from here on out, it’d, made his mother cry.
“I was truant from before, refused to come to school, but not anymore’, a girl who sat next to me told, and asked the teacher that the school hired from out of the school, to come back to teach more, and the teacher was moved, and promised to come back again to teach.
The school teacher helped a student film a day in his life in school, with the lyrics, and the melodies, written, by a famous music producer, the school teachers used this student as the main character of this footage because his father was a skill worker, he’d had to, travel all over the places for work, and this last year middle school boy started, cooking his three meals from years before. Once in the school functions, his father showed up; the son knew the father’s hardships, and he’d, worked harder in learning the skills, and so, the teacher helped him make a music video, to mail it to his father to watch.
With the music, and this young man’s radiant smiles, it’d, made us see those young warriors, breaking OUT of their shells. The principal said on the podium, “children who grew up in the storms, are unafraid of the rain and the wind, but we’d needed to, help protect them when the rain and the wind grew stronger”, the principal thanked the community, for see what these children are in need of.
Think about it, how blessed are these children, to finally get, noted! But, how many more children, are waiting, for us, to see them? How many more are still, shivering and quivering in the wind and the rains? Are you, seeing them too?
And so, this still just showed, that children needed the guidance of adults, to know that they are, working hard, to thrive, like these children in lesser environments, because the school’s principal, teachers are, willing, to take the time to show cares and concerns toward the students, that is why, the students are, working especially hard, because they’re, motivated, to perform better, because, someone C-A-R-E-D about them!
