Dear smile, I am very glad to have so many friends here, and so many friends from the same walk of life. Here we should thank the forum, which has made all this happen. I think it must be God that guides us all here. I think you should no longer feel regretful for what you did when you were so young. You teacher must have forgiven you and maybe has forgotten what you have done to her, just like you and your naughty student. I once read a true story. In those turbulent days of the Cultural Revolution, a student did what we think most unthinkable and terrible to his teacher. Many years passed. The student still felt guity and couldn't forgive himself. The memory deepy rooted on his mind like a heavy stone. He couldn't face his former classmates and had no courage to say sorry to his teacher. Life went on year after year until one day,when he was told that the teacher had passed away. But the teacher's last words on the death bed were said to him. At those words, the student couldn't help crying out, out together with tears were all his regrets. His teacher said:" Please do tell him that I have forgiven him, even years, years before. Tell him not to blame himself any more and just forget everything and live well and happily." We were all once young and we hurt someone due to the young age and ignorance. However, just because of that, today can we understand and forgive those who hurt us for the same reason. As teachers, we must be more broadminded than anyone else and learn to forgive and tolerate. We must learn to be strong and get ready enough to face and endure any possible misunderstanding and even curses from our students. ( I find you are one of such teachers and I admire you.I am still learning and still have a long way to go.) What we do is a long-term investiment. It may take 10 years, 20 years, or even longer for us to get paid back. And perhaps that will never happen during the years when we still exist in this world. Therefore, I, long ago, after i realized this, stopped expecting any rewards. If some day, such things did happen to me, would it be a pleasant surprise? If you still feel guilty, why not try finding her and saying sorry to your teacher? Do it before it is too late.Then you will have a light heart.
