Today was a great day with my students, since the beginning of this week some hoodlums have been causing nuisance in the community, due to that some of my students didn’t come to school also the few that came 3 persons amongst them were not feeling fine, it reduce the energy of the class I was just so calm likewise my pupils, and as there loco-parent I was so emotional I just had to be heart strong because seeing my kids sick was like a part of me being sick because I have loved my students so much that I I don’t only play the role of a teacher but also as a guardian.
It was break and they could not eat there foods I had to start feeding them one after the other, also give them their medication they brought to school, while I was giving one her meds she just vomited at that point I felt so irritated because I get irritated easily but today I learnt how to care for sick kids, immediately I cleaned up the place made sure she was fine and I asked her to rest. At a point, I had to make them rest on me and pat them on the back as a form of consolation, also to make them feel loved, and also be strong for me.
While I was doing all I was doing, one of my students asked me why I was caring for them, and I responded because you are my babies, and I love you so much, she was filled with joy with what I said and smiled
In all I made sure I was prayerful because emotions can’t help as much as prayer will and I'm glad to tell you that two of three went home playful and vibrant, and I'm grateful to God, because training, parenting and caring for a child is not so easy but at every point, you have to this please be at your best. God bless you.
