Today is 30th October 2009. Tomorrow, the 31st and 1st of November are Convocation Day for those who has finished their studies from Unisel.
As I locked my car and moving towards the faculty, a car passed by and honked me. A familiar face was in the car smiling and calling out my name. I remember him well. He almost flunked out and went to a camp where I was one of the facilitators.
He remembers me. I'm touched. I hoped I had made a difference in someone's life. I did teach him in one of the courses that he took. He was playful and a joy to know. He has this baby face, friendly and has a ongoing smile. He remembers me. He alighted the car and shook my hand.
And he finished his studies. All the fatigue I feel in me seems to disappear when I see my students graduate. I'm so happy for them.
But a tinge of sadness encircles me as I look out the window of my office. I'm not sure if I will ever see them again, now that they have left and carry on with their life.
All my children, all grown up. Forget me not.
