Yesterday was the last school day for grade 9 students. They all seemed happy and confident and were ready to face the big exams in the next three days.
Seeing kids leave school is not new to me at all. However, this time I found my mind have changed a lot. Most obviously, I no longer felt uneasy talking to the kids or taking photos with them. Instead, Ifelt sincere happiness and pride for them for the journey they undertook in the past three years. Also when I was uploading photos into my CP, i no longer felt impatient about the 25 minutes it took. Instead, I just sat back patiently and read a book at hand. And I truly enjoyed the reading while waiting. How much have I transformed!
Li Xie mentioned in her book that wise parents would wisely use their parenting experience to reflect on their own problems in their personality, and as a result, they would just grow as a person as rapidly like rockets soar into sky.
I could not agree more. Thanks to my kids, who have taught me to be mature, patient, respectful to life, to love myself and care for myself. Also thanks to myself for always reflecting on my behaviors and thoughts to push myself grow to be a better person.
