Assalamualaikum!! Alhamdulillah💗 today was fine overall, but the ending of the day felt emotionally exhausting. Right now, my heart feels heavier than usual. I've spent the last part of the day overthinking, reflecting, and carrying a lot of emotions that I can't fully put into words. Sometimes everything looks normal on the outside while your mind is quietly fighting countless thoughts inside. This morning, I woke up for school. Honestly, I didn't feel like going at all, but I reminded myself that not every day begins with motivation, and that's okay. I got ready and reached school by around 7:30 a.m. When I got there, I found out that our holidays officially start from tomorrow. We also had a one-and-a-half shift today, and next week our exams begin. They carry a lot of marks, so I know these holidays won't really feel like holidays. They'll be a time to work hard, stay consistent, and prepare for what's ahead. My friend wasn't at school today because she wasn't feeling well. I prayed that Allah grants her complete shifa and makes things easy for her. School felt a little quieter without her. The news that stayed with me the most today was that one of our teachers is leaving the school. Hearing it genuinely made my heart sink. He wasn't just someone who taught us subjects—he taught us with kindness, patience, respect, and sincerity. His words, his way of explaining things, and the way he treated his students made him someone we'll always remember. It's strange to think that after the holidays, when we return for our exams, he won't be standing in the classroom anymore. I know this is the way life works. People come into our lives for a reason, leave beautiful lessons behind, and then move forward on their own journey. Even when we understand that, saying goodbye is never easy. One thought kept circling in my mind: Will the new teacher understand us the way he did? I believe teaching isn't only about explaining chapters. A truly good teacher first understands the hearts and minds of the students, learns how they think, and then finds the best way to help them grow. I sincerely hope our new teacher will be someone who understands us just as well.
