3RD FLOOR. EVERYDAY. UP AND DOWN.small. hardworking. high will. polite.
The following words I'm typing, it's not about me. It's about this little boy, from 3 Cekal. This little boy, I didn't ask what is his name, but teachers claimed him and Luqman or Lukman whatever it spells. This boy touched my heart instantly.
That morning, I helped him to bring his bag up to the 3rd floor. The way I see his intention in coming to school, I was touched. He climbed the staircase, step by step, although he had difficulties in walking. He needs the stairs rail to go up the stairs. Without it, he'll fall.
This incident reminds me of something. Since standard 1 till now, I'd been complaining about everything in the school, especially the location of my class, the third floor. However, this guy with his difficulties, he could go through everything. The time we reached his class, he could smile and said, "Thank you" while taking out his Science book and read. He's alone in the class every morning. I asked him, " Don't you feel bored if you're in the class alone ? " He said, " It doesn't matter, my friends will come up later." He's polite, hardworking and have a high will to study.
But, how many of us, individuals that are better and normal than him;
think like what he think ?
He's a mature form 3 guy, which I think none of the form 3 will have this kind of thinking. His intention to change his life, his intention to make his difficulties into an advantage, none of us, including me, is this strong to overcome this kind of situation. He even have the difficulties to carry the chair down from the table, he can't even go up the stairs without stair rails, he can't even carry his bag up to his class, and he can't even talk a bit louder.
But why do we,
individuals that can carry the chair down from the table,
individuals that can go up the stairs blindfolded,
individuals that can carry 5kg weight up to the class
individuals that can shout till the whole school can hear us,
don't appreciate what God had gave us all the time ?
I should thank the teacher, for giving me his bag. It's really an eye-opener on everyone around us. It's not just me and my friends. But to everyone around me.
