My experiences in teaching life

One day an old student came to me and said,
"tr I heard that you are retiring this march".
Yes, i replied.
I saw an unusual spark in his eyes.He continued,
"tr I have bought a gift for u ,let me..."
I was just astonished and replied,"why Shereef ? No need of such formalities".
Before i could complete he spoke out .
No tr it is my pleasure.He ran away and came with a small packet and gave it me.
           I just rewinded.When he was in 10th std I was his class tr.He  came late everyday and I used to scold him.One day he came very late, in fact there was only 5 minutes for the bell.I lost my patience  and asked him to stay out of the class room.After my class I came out and saw him with filled eyes.Then i felt sorry for him and asked
Why you are coming late everyday?.the reply was indeed unexpected.
Tr, i have to go to mosque  and should do some work,so that i could  support my family", he paused.
Hearing this, i really cursed my self.As a tr it was my duty to enquire about his family .From that day on wards i never missed a chance to help him.........
