LET US LISTEN TO OUR INNER VOICE
I
was the class teacher of the 10th for section A the specialty of this section was that it had the smartest pupil
of the whole school. The students of this section used to secure the best
results in the academic field, consequently they were in the good records of
the most of the teachers. One day the head master informed me that Jithin a boy
of class 10 belonging to different section was shifted to the section to which
I was the in charge. He was smart and handsome and the other students were bit
disappointed with the arrival of the Jithin to the section A.
The
following Monday I received a written complaint from the class about Jithin.
Besides some of the students personally met me and shared with me that Jithin’
s character is not good, quarrel- some, drug addict and soon and so forth.
Listening to those complaints and stories shared by some of the students about
Jithin I was bit worried and said to myself what should I do? And how should i help him in the best way possible to come out of all these and live a better
life. As I was pondering I heard a voice from the depth of my heart calling me
to guide and mentor Jithin.The voice further gave me the assurance to empower
me in guiding Jithin. Again I had heard a voice saying Jithin is that of mine
and I shall work through you to make him as that of my instrument.
After
gathering of the strength, as usual I began the class, after a while I called
Jithin and told him to go and meet a particular teacher. Meanwhile, I began to
motivate the rest of the students saying that we all need to help Jithin to set
his life right. Further I told them that he comes from the broken family. His
father was a drunkard and quarrel some. Jithin had a brother who was younger
ten years younger to and he experiences that the parents show much love to the
younger and while neglecting Jithin.Therefore, we should love him and need to
help him so that he may secure the good results in the exam. Thus I urged my
students to be compassionate toward Jithin. In the course of time I noticed
Jithin being hyperactive. Therefore with the consent of his parents I sent him
to the psychiatrist and he began to show much improvement in his conduct.
It
was the fare well for the batch of Jithin and he wanted to talk during the
programme but he was denied of the chance. He then approached the head master
and he gave him the opportunity to talk. We were all anxious to listen to him,
as he started to speak he expressed his gratitude to all those who had helped him
to reach to that stage in his life.Tears began to roll down from the eyes of
many. In a very special manner he mentioned my name in gratitude and praise. He
bent over my feet expressing the gratitude for becoming an instrument in his life
and asked me to bless him. I always cherish this incident in my life for having
helped someone to find the right path and that satisfies me more than anything.
