she took 6 of her students to the park this morning. she guided them in essay writing. grammar. they had a spelling test. drawing too. the wakaf (gazebo) beside the deer enclosure provided seating.
but she realised they were not focused. the fine morning, the other people there. it was quite a task to hold their attention.
then they went to the library. the kids had a great time reading story books and even comics. the important thing is - their interest in reading.
and there is this one boy. 8 years of age. his father is a lorry driver. his mother works in a factory. he is quiet, rather shy. but very hard working. very eager to learn more. reads english books quite well for a primary two boy. he is punctual.he attends classes each week without fail. he does everything he is asked to. he tries his best. he is always coming to her with his spelling or maths. anything. and he draws very well for his age! even better than most of the other much older students! his attitude fills her heart with joy. she prays he will be an engineer. or an architect one day! a successful responsible Muslim professional!
and then he can give his parents happiness and comfort in their old age.
