One of CEF's excellent students
In the two months I have been working for CEF and having been on many
home visit days to our students I
have found these days to be a bit emotional for me, and cause mixed bitter sweet emotions.
I was impressed by the children who got
excellent school results. When they are passionate about their study plans and their
future we get great pleasure and
we are really glad to help them.
But another child, I found myself disappointed with and sad due to
her situation. Her results have
continued to slide downwards and we had to talk strictly to her about them and
the need to have good study techniques, do exams more carefully and spend more
time on her studies. We had to remind her that letting her results slip so much makes it
very hard to pick them up much and do well without a lot of work and help from
extra tuition teachers.
When we arrived and I
looking into her house, I felt sad when I saw her father lying on the bed and only able to move his left side as a result of brain injury from a bad fall. He can hear everyone talking but
he cannot speak or write. He smiles a
lot and it was lovely to see his smile. I hope next time he can write something for
us, as we asked his daughter to
teach him to write, and we also hope to have good news from her about her results which she seems to
understand need to be much improved.
