The Meeting

Today, my teacher heart is extra glad. On my way out of our college building, i met Nessy, a former student in three subjects. We often exchange text messages before and i could say she is one of the closest students to me.

I was not able to contain my happiness, when i saw her the only thing i was able to think was to hug her. No words can describe how much that hug means to me. I no longer cared about the reaction of the other students who had seen us, what mattered to me earlier is i saw a dear friend after some time.

The event somehow tells me, it is incidents like this that give extra special glow to teachers like me. Somehow it tells me, indeed it is always rewarding to be a teacher.
