Unique

To be unique is to be alone because to be unique means that you are the only one. I tell my story about work to people I come across like the other teachers, and nurses and this is what they call me; unique. I'm grateful for it though, I've been called worse! It's the most peace I've ever had. I am so grateful for everything, the journey that brought me here, the careers God has blessed me with and all the while fulfilling a childhood dream of always being able to help others. My students are wonderful, some are a pain when they're acting out and I'm by no means an authoritative teacher. I hate to punish/discipline them, I hate that part of teaching, but without it, teaching is difficult. They need that structure to help them control their behaviour and make room for learning. And nursing, well no one is more grateful than the lovely people who come into the clinic and thank me to no end for injecting them, claiming it didn't hurt, but I know it does, lol, I had my own shot too! But they are so thankful and so grateful when without them I wouldn't have a job! It's wonderful and beautiful, life is now, Alhumdulillah. I think back to this time 2 years ago and I was so miserable, I used to cry myself to sleep and now I am so exhausted from my day, I have never slept more through the whole night ever!

Seriously, life is full, I've my health, I've my family, I've 132 kids, I've responsibilities and obligations, dependents, and all the while I am free, Alhumdulillah.

Now I know that this is a temporary reward from Allah (SWT) but while it's here, I am enjoying it and taking full advantage of it.
