Lebaran day has over and when i got back to school I’ve found out that one of my students died. It happened before Lebaran. Sad and shocked to hear the news. This was his first year in Elementary school. He was chubby and sweet. He sat on the front row and that makes me feel losing him.
Badly, this is the second time I have to see this fact. Last year, I lost one of my best students because of kidney problems. He was smart, clean and tidy. His handwriting was beautiful even though he was a boy. He was curious and kept asking me simple ad sometimes silly questions.
What a great lost seeing two of my students passed away. It is painful and i know exactly how does it feel since i have lost someone who is really important in my life forever. I hope they can rest peacefully. So be it.
The next thing that makes me sad was to see my students sold their voice on the road, from public transportation and stuffs. It hurts to see them suffering from this live in order to earn money for foods. The worst thing was their mother just sat aside the road to wait for their children sold their voice. How cruel life can be for those children. Beg for people’s kindness to give them few coins. They should have studied at home rather than being around the traffics till late at night.
I saw a second grade student walk in the middle of the traffics to get few coins from people around and it was 11 p.m. He was wearing his dirty school uniform. It means that he gets on the road after school around 5 p.m. He looked so tired and felt sleepy, it was hard for him to open his eyes since it was already late for children around his age. I felt so sorry and sad for him. when i got little bit closer to him, he realized i was there and the next thing i knew he ran as fast as he could so that i couldn’t see him that night.
The next day i saw him at school, he was very very shy and afraid to see my eyes. All i can do was just asking his homework softly while caressing his shoulder to encourage him to study more often.
How cruel life can be when the reality comes. I learn that life is not as simple as we wish if we do not stand on our feet. So, do not count one hundred percent to others. It’s your life and you have to decide what you are going to do. And whether you have money or not, please do not use your children or any children somewhere else to be your bank asset where you can withdraw money anytime you want. Our future is in their hands so let them free to play and study to be better and to live better in the future than you are now.
