Thank you for:
1. N: N is the peon in my school where I teach. He was the peon four years ago, in fact 13 years ago also and still is. He came to me today and asked me for a small amount of money as loan. My first question to him (like an idiot was why) but then before he could answer, I just gave him the money. I am thankful for him because, I truly appreciate him. Over the years we have built a strong relationship- he is not mean to me ever and comes to school just to open the gate for me- even if it is a Sunday. When I start something of my own and need a peon, I will know where to look :)
2. The bus: While I was photocopying worksheets today, I cried slightly. The expenditure in my class is going out of control. Printing books cost me quite a bit. I also want to take my kids to Prithvi Theatre this Sunday for a show (only 7 kids as a prize for writing great articles) and teachers with them need to pay the full ticket and transport costs. Plus, I need to collect money for their next projects, gifts for experts and some sudden expenses. I have no idea how to manage these costs. Therefore, I decided to return home by bus today. God helped me fully- I got an empty bus plus another one. I saved half my money today and I am thrilled. If I go by bus ten times, I will cover the ticket expenses for seven kids :D
3. My maid: She does for us what I think even we don't do for ourselves. I truly respect her.
4. People in general: for their kindness- my sister, Toja, some of my kids. They make life joyful.
5. Making me a teacher: I really really feel so blest to be a teacher. "I love my life"
