Thank You For Taking Me
It seems just yesterday when I practicing teaching in vocational school. It was in semester 5, when my voice was shaking and my body was trembling because of nervous when I must teach in front of class.
I never thought before that here i would be a teacher in a school with diverse students and my body and voice no longer tremble when I teach. Like previous years, the students who had graduated will make empty feeling. But, they would visit us at school sometimes. It make me feel warm and feel like they still remember us. But in the next year and so on after they were graduate, they never visited us again.
In the end, finally I felt how parents who miss their children. I just remember the way I was when collected their photos on my gallery and my mobile phones’s memory. It makes my memory out of storage but I feel so happy when my hand can quickly press the camera button when their funny moment happens. When mostly everyone has an instagram account and i don’t have one yet, at that time i finally made it because all my students had instagram and i wanted to be a part of them even more.
It was 2021 when I get a big class with 37 students. I also didn’t expect that I would to be accompany them 3 years to see them through to their graduation. Like I was said, I feel like parents who missed their children very much. I feel like mom who sad and chaotic mood.
Darling, when you know that we always waiting for you, pray for you, and always remember you, that’s where God’s blessing is with you.
when your day doesn’t run as you expected, there is a lesson that God has given you.
When you visited me last friday and we hug each other, I’ll get used to seeing your bussiness with high school in the next day, with your new friends, new world and I’ll still support you with liking your instagram post, give some sticker reaction, react your instagram stories, or just smiling when see your instagram posts. So, hopefully when I send messages the class group you won’t be annoyed and bored with me, and one day hopefully you won’t kick me from your followers on instagram because through that window I can see you grow while praying for you.
I know you’ll grow up and so do with your thoughts about this world. But I hope you’ll remember that we were history that has been written in our respective lives.
Thank you for taking me become the teacher that I dreamed since I was little.
May Allah always protect you all.
