One former student writes back

There are so many around me who are always whining and bad-mouthing their jobs. Then there are those who do bare minimum to stay on the surface. I think of the hundreds and thousands who would give the shirts off their backs to find any job.
Thank God for my job! It is a blessing! It is an honor!
Even though many of my friends believe I deserve better, I think this job has enabled me to achieve so much and to learn so much. Of all things, I have made friends who are invaluable and I have taught some who I am truly proud of. One of them wrote back yesterday and her grateful comments made my day. I immediately wrote to Mrs. Haleem, my English teacher back in Frontier College for Women, Peshawar, who now lives in Texas. Over the years, we have stayed in touch, talking to each other at least once a month, sharing our concerns, our joys and our heartaches.
The trickle effect continues----her affection for me, and mine for my students!
One doesn't get poorer for helping where help is needed.
