Kindness doesn't always get a second chance

Dora can do with a little more patience.

This week has been a pretty fulfilling one as I managed to settle some pretty tasks at work.

The feelings of satisfaction were elevated further when I saw my students "achieving" in their liitle own ways; from a novice in html, css, javascript to the "expert" some of them have become. They are gaining their own sense of achievement as they slowly complete each webpage on their own and feeling useful as they start to help their friends who had problems.

But back to my lack of patience. Yeah, I think I did an overall good job in imparting twchnical skills to my stufents. But I regret that in the process, I was not patient enough with them, was a little too harsh to some of them, spent too little time on them compared to others.

Seriously, I feel a sense of remorse towards this little handful of guys that I did not didplay the kindest behaviour. I wanted to make it up to them during yesterday's lesson, but ... they were absent.

So treasure every opportunity you have to be kind to someone, because often, when you want, the chance is no longer there.

Next week is my last lesson with them, I hope they would be there.
