This weekend one of my dearest friend that has to be a teacher had a student past away this weekend. She is very heart broken and don't feel like that she can do it to stand in front of the class and teach. Well, I been in her shoes and I know what she is going through.
See last year, I had a student that passed away in my class. I just saw them that Friday and now that student wasn't going to be there Monday. I cried my eyes out and I felt my heart break and keep asking myself what could I have done to prevent it. I keep telling myself that this is just a nightmare but it wasn't. Its hard to be a teacher because you grow attached to your students. You love them like they are your own. You been with them eight hours of the day and 180 days of school. You been there for their success and the failures. You are there for everything from the good and the bad. So you are wondering how do you handle it. How as a teacher you move on and be brave. Well it's not easy but you got to tell yourself I can do it. What help me along the way was Philippians 4:13 is said, " I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me." I prayed to God give me strengthen, Lord healed my heart, and let me there for the kids. You know what God did he gave me the strength to go on. I cried still and I still miss the student's hugs and smile but I keep going. Helping other students and to be a blessing to them. Live everyday to the fullest and make a difference in my students and my coworkers lives.
