i'm pretty nervous :-s

Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :)

today my friends and i went to survey a place where a husband and wife takes care of troubled kids, for my program. i have never dealt with troubled kids before and i'm nervous. but i really think that it's a good exposure for future teachers (esp for future teachers).

just how troubled these kids are...

1. the boys are mostly involved in drugs, some are just into glue but others have gone so far.
2. some boys were involved in theft.
3. majority of the girls have lost their virginity and have involved in a very not healthy and condemn by religion sexual activities.
4. some of the girls have given birth.
5. some kids had ran away from home.
6. family rejected some of the kids because the parents or guardians couldn't handle em anymore.

i saw only one boy during my visit today. his father came to picked him up so that he can go back to his hometown. he looked so innocent. the caregiver said that he was into sniffing glue and that's why his parents sent him there so that they still can save him. and he can be saved. i dunno y i'm saying this but i feel that he can be saved. i want him to be saved. i prayed that he will be saved. because he's young and he has a bright future ahead of him and i hope he realizes that...

that's only 1 boy that i met today. my program is for 2 days and 1 night and i'm nervous just thinking about it :-s

people have high expectations that we are future teachers but really, apart from that, we're all learning and i wanna learn and gain that experience. but i don't expect for the expectations to be lower, i just hope that we can make a difference regardless of what we do, even if it's just cooking with them. i want to get to know these kids. and last but not least;

i want, that for every speech that the future teachers make to these less privileged kids, at least ONE sentence or a phrase or a WORD, can leave a lasting impact to these kids.

that's why it's important for us to be aware of how and what comes out of our mouth :)

Those men― Allah knows what is in their hearts; so keep clear of them, but admonish them and speak to them a word to reach their very souls.

cikgu are the ones that should be aware of masalah ummat, so there should be more cikgu thinking along the same lines as me but the caregiver said that many cikgu just wanna blame those problematic kids and it breaks my heart :(

wah rameinye org dah komen.. so tayah la komen, sama seperti di atas :D ~

tapi nak petik skit dari buku 'Bagaimana Menyentuh Hati' by Abbas As-Sisiyy (aktivis Ikhwanul Muslimin), dia ada cakap, 2 profesion yang peluang dakwahnya sangat2 terbuka luas depan mata adalah:

cikgu dan doktor.

why? sbb orang akan datang cari,dan mereka akan dengar nasihat2 & kata2 cikgu dan doktor no matter what. so,make full use of this oppoturnity.

/me nak tukar profession lah~~

u went there? i really hope i can go there one day too :)

yeah, it's true that a follow up is needed for a prog like this but due to time constraints and the place is too far, i'll just say that i would try to be the best i can be, thanks nway :)

zmk:
wah2, THANK YOU, those are really nice and meaningful words :)
