TIME
Today marks the end of the 3 weeks attachment. Call it self-interest or self-protection, but thus far, I've been making a conscious effort to refrain from blogging anything significant; especially matters involving the youngsters themselves. The main reason is, of course, due to the sensitive nature of the situation on hand. This is, afterall, the internet.
The past 3 weeks have been wonderful! The youngsters are all so jaunty, energetic, lively, noisy, and cheeky. Just hanging around them makes me feel young and happy! Initially, I was sooo not used to being greeted - especially along the corridors. Of course, when I FINALLY realize what has happened (which typically takes about 5 seconds), the person would already be quite a distance away and thus, I'm always deprived of the chance to return the greeting properly. I wonder, would I be mistaken as dao?
Have seen - and learned - a lot of things in the past 3 weeks; but the truth is, I've definitely not yet seen or learned it ALL. What I've been exposed to, thus far, is only the tip of the iceberg. There is certainly so much more! Fellow colleagues have showed, shared, and taught us alot of things. They gladly shared their past experiences and inspiring stories; and they also touched on some other problems which are closer to home ground. The discussions always never fail to set me thinking, reforming my mind. What appears to be good, may not be so. A certain policy may be implemented stemming from a good intention, but it might actually be bringing more disadvantages than advantages. I realized I'm just a greenhorn, a newbie.
Certainly, this is not about the money. Heck, chances are, no one dreams of getting filthy rich in the first place!
It's about passion and satisfaction. It's about building up people. It's about caring and loving others; touching and moulding lives. It's also about re-directing and rescuing those from the wrong path; while guiding and keeping the rest on the correct one.
It has been an awesome 3 weeks! In the blinking of an eye, the attachment's over. At this rate, I'll soon be turning 35.
