Joy of being with these kids

Life won’t be complete; there won’t be any smile, no joy, no satisfaction and no meaning for my existence if they are not around me. These kids are not only my source of happiness; they are my source of knowledge and everyday inspiration to be a better person than yesterday. They do crazy things, they crack funny jokes, they share their thoughts without hesitation, they jump and run unacceptably, they do countless activities with so many meaning and lessons to be learned from them.

Today, when I was teaching in the class, some of the students were complaining, “miss, Karma Thinley is eating in the class”. So I asked him, “Karma Thinley, are you really eating in the class?” He was reluctant to accept that he was eating. So I went near him and checked if there is anything he is hiding. So I found this wild fruit in his bag. I was little surprised and concerned too because I was not really aware that it is edible. So I took all the fruits and asked another teacher whether it is edible or not. “Yes, we can eat that fruit. It is good for our health”. So I felt, wow! because it’s new to me.

So I went back to class and announced to them that it is edible and good for our health.

I asked him, if he can share that fruit to all the class III students, he was really happy and excited to share with others. So after the class, all the class III students tasted that fruit and we all have learned that “Robthang Say” is edible and it’s good for our health. It can cure diarrhoea and stomach ache.
