Life is so fragile.
Time flies too quickly.
Today i wished a few teachers that made a huge impact in my life a 'happy teachers day', only to find out after catching up with one of my teachers that my sec 2 form teacher had taken his life just last week. This was shocking news to me as my teacher was perhaps only 30 and at his prime.
i vaguely remember us first meeting him as a new teacher when we were secondary 2, mrs Juan introducing him to all of us. we were his very first class!
well needless to say, at age 14, we were all mischievous and we switched our cards (with our names on it) that he had requested we placed on our desks in order to help him remember our names. I became Brenda, Brenda became Pamela, and so on and so forth. I also remember mrs Juan nagging at us for doing that to him afterwards.
then there was this time where our naughty class made him so mad, he gave us a lecture and he shouted this particular word : "atrocious". i can still hear his voice in my head today, and it was funny at the point when he said it and the whole class just fought to control our laughter. we never let him go after that. we would always playfully tease him about it after moving on to sec 3 and 4.
well, i am beyond shocked that he is no longer here on Earth with us. But where ever he is, i do hope that it is better than where he once was. i will always remember him as the funny, friendly new teacher.
with all that said, i think it is necessary to take time off our busy schedules just to show alittle more love care and concern for the ones we love. i think that people should not be used or taken for granted. and for those having a hard time, a bad day perhaps, know that you are not alone, you are loved. Be strong and don't give up !
ROMANS 8:31-32
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, whocan be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
