Nadir





Wish I could engage in teaching the same kids forever, but I’m not living in a world of make-believe – learners vary. I just have to remind myself day after day about this non-negotiable reality. Yesterday was my glorious day but now I’m back to nadir – like I’m in a tug of war wrestling with the brawn – it drained my mental and physical condition.

What do I expect anyway?

We’re dealing with dropouts and vulnerable young people – whose pasts demand patience, some tolerance, and deeper love to care for while an imperfect and finite being me requires grace to keep going.
