Sayonara

The sounds of restless feet, the rustles of open books and the smell of 5th day school uniform seemed to spark a flicker of doubt in my mind.

"Are these students ready for today's lesson?" , "What's bugging them?" were two questions waiting for an answer.

Two boys came in late but they seemed determined to break a piece of news to me. Oh, it was in fact, good news to them as they had received an offer to go to MRSM, Kuala Kubu Baru and another to Perlis.

Our paths crossed here at SEMEKAR but my role as their teacher had come to a halt. Their classmates were affected too, knowing that they had to stay in 1 Rafflesia....plus the prep, the heat and the stairs that they were forced to climb......

To console the rest of the class, I assured them that God knows where we should be placed.

In my mind, I am very convinced that God knows best. If we are destined to face hardships in a hostel so that later on we would become stronger, then so be it. If God wants us to help someone in the hostel in 2010, then He would place us there now so that when the time comes, we are readily available to fulfil our duties as destined by Him.

To these two boys - a bid you farewell.
