Tuesdays with Morrie

I had just finished this book.
Another worth recommendation after my last best-read book; 'Traveling light' by Katrina Kittle.
Halfway through this book, I have already planned to send it as a gift to two men.
One who loves to read and is special to me.
Another who is always on my mind and need help to find a way back into love.

While reading this book, my heart felt so light and happy.
It is not because I have learnt so much from the book but realizing that I am similar with Morrie!
We both have Love in us which made us a happy being.

Of course, I really can’t hold a candle to Morrie’s optimism and how thorough he had seen Life. However, I am giving myself credit for my own struggles in life which nurtured and cultivated my values.

Tuesdays with Morrie.
A lesson learnt by Mitch from Morrie.

Well, I had my Tuesdays with someone too.
An 8-year old kid who is almost illiterate.

When I started teaching her, I had less motivation and more confusion to give up each time. Doubts just filled me.
Was she a special kid? Am I really able to help? Am I wasting both of our time?

It was until she is able to pick up a few words after several lessons, I knew, we could.
For someone like her who had low concentration power and pitiful slow learning curve, it is not a surprise that she had failed bitterly for all her examinations.

You might not believe me but I could not care for her failure in academic results.
To me, when she managed to pick up her alphabets each lesson, I was already over the moon!

All I wanted, is to teach her the ability to read.
As this is how she would be able to learn more for herself in life.

She might have missed her lessons in class not knowing what the teacher is teaching, but in due course she would pick them up at her own pace.
Her pace is really really slow but the most important thing, she is improving!

I might not be the best language teacher but I know I can teach her something.
There are many things which are beyond my control, but I really hope I can make her life better by showing her the way to her own knowledge.

I really hope one day she will able to read and understand this.
I really hope neither of us will give up till that day.
