My heart is broken But I will survive

I had a lifelong ambition and dream. The first student activity in governmental schools where students do the activity from A to Z ……..starting from choosing the activity ………on to planning ……..and ending with executing it.

Twice we held an orphans day where students did everything.

I spent 3 years trying to make it real. Then, I had to stop it for many reasons. What really struck me is that THIS changed me. Something is broken. I thought I was doing something. I believed in something. Then I had to stop.

However, I insist on fighting back and redoing it again after a while but for now I am human and I lost interest in many things. I even I got ill. I stayed in bed all Thursday and Friday when suddenly I found a notification of a new e-mail. It informed that the deadline of assignment, which I lost all hope of finishing it, was postponed. I thought I'm not an idealistic person let it go. Mistakes are human. What if I didn't do the assignment…what if has been fought by me for a long time…..I struggled as I have been the past month and got out of bed and did the worst assignment ever. No ideas came to my mind though I have been thinking of it for a week.

But I really appreciate the fact that I fought that desire to be pessimistic. I thought that whatever I wrote won't give a Zero and any number is better than zero. Then isn't that what I tell my students. It's time to tell myself. Then, I moved a further step and looked at what I'm missing. I found that the blog needs 4 new posts. I thought well tomorrow is a fine start. Then I said tomorrow sometimes never comes. I wrote the first post and then the second…..I struggled with ideas…..Then I decided to share this wierd experience…..

  3. we are talking about motivating students while all that counts is staying motivated ourselves as care givers and providers ... keep strong and motivated because you CAN make a difference and i don't mean "you" as a teacher but YOU "RASHA".
