April 2024
Today was my final meeting with my children. We have a very close relationship as we have met more than 15 times, not just the usual 3 or 4 times. It was very challenging for me to tell them that another teacher would be taking over from me. However, I mustered up the courage to inform them.
Today, during the meeting, I noticed that most of the children were present as usual, but something seemed off about their faces. It could be that today was my last day, or perhaps I was just feeling uncertain. During the meeting, we reviewed the previous discussions and evaluated whether the commitments made during those discussions had been properly and implemented. I was pleased to hear that each person replied positively.
After observing them, I noticed changes in their behavior. For instance, they were able to arrange their belongings, not excessively using mobile phones, and they engaged in physical games.
I introduced Pabitra to the children even though they already knew her. I informed them that she will now facilitate their training. As we are close to finishing our training, we only need to discuss and register the child club, which Pabitra will take care of. Afterward, we played a game that the children enjoyed very much, as always.
It was time for me to say goodbye to all the innocent faces, and it was a difficult moment for me. I suggested to them that they should focus on improving their studies and always strive to be decent and respectful. We parted ways with fond memories and love.
Love
Andika
