It should be a tough day today, but I was wrong. It wasn't tough at all as I have dreamed of last last night and what I have imagined. Things flew smoothly today. I was able to say the things I wanted to say to the kids and most importantly to the persons who sent them to my care and tutelage.
I was honest all of the time. Tell the things that they wanted to hear and most of the things that they don't want to hear. Surprisingly, they already knew and confirmed it. It's good to talk to persons who are open. You really don't have to select the right words or terms to say because they would understand what you mean.
I was nervous early in the morning that it feels like it's going to happen for the first time but the truth is it's already the third of it. As I happen to meet them one by one, I manage to collect and compose myself...until she came and I felt like I was a blessing.
I never imagined I could be the person she's talking about. What I mean is that, I am what I am, transparent. What you see is what you get in short. I do things naturally, without someone telling me how to do it or how to go about it.
They say criticism teaches you how to improve more of yourself, it's good, but it's better if they would tell you praises. Something that would make you positive, happy, humble and fulfilled. When she came, it feels like she can't thank enough. She has attributed the positive change of her son to my capability of raising a flock of sheep. I stayed humble but deep within me I was surprised. For me, I was just doing my job and never come to cross my thoughts that it was that significant.
What she have said would remain in my head maybe for eons. It really made me happy and fulfilled and to strive harder in my profession. Maybe not only in my field of expertise but to the things that I would do in the future. I humbly thank her for telling me that I am one of the right persons that should stay here.
