Day 10
I added a new bracket to the challenge and that is to mention some of the things from your bucket list. They can be things you have ticked off already or wish to carry out in the future. Here are a few of mine, in no particular order:
• Climb a mountain
• Watch a show on Broadway
• Start writing a novel
• Publish my novel
• Be in two places at once
• See the Northern Lights
• Make someone's dream come true
• Sponsor an orphan
• Get a tattoo
• Swim outdoors
• Try the durian fruit
Again, these are just a few and some that I have already managed to achieve! The rest... are still to fall into place at some point inshaAllah.
Day 11
The year 11's have left the school now for their study leave ahead of their upcoming GCSE exams. I'm not quite sure how to feel about this, especially considering the fact that I haven't had much interaction with their year group in general, having only taught a few of them.
All the same, I'm still panicking about how much they've covered and what more they need for revision. I feel compelled to help them in any way that I can because I know I have the ability to do so.
In the leavers assembly, the girls thanked me in person for the TWO lessons I have them as a collective class. Two lessons. I don't even know what I did to deserve their gratitude. As for the two girls I did help throughout the year, it honestly pained me to see them go as I had developed quite a bond with them. They gifted me the most beautiful floral arrangement and I swear to you, above all else, their words and genuine gratitude is something I can't even begin to explain.. It moved me so much that smiling was the only option.
I pray for their success and that they one day come to me with stories of their bright and exciting futures beyond the school walls.
