you are beautiful
“Teacher, don’t worry. What matters most is the inside. If you have a good heart, you will also look good and beautiful on the inside.”
These were the most beautiful words from my student so far and she is only 10 this year! It all came unexpected when we were in the library today.
She was rummaging through my stationeries when she came upon a ruler of mine with a photo sticker of my sis and i. the photo was rather blur though and it was taken when i had a really short hair style. i tried to crack a joke with her knowing how kids love secrets.
I whispered to her.
“Teacher looked so awful in that photo. Make sure you don’t tell anyone ya.”
And ended it with a wink.
That was when she came up with the most beautiful remark. I was really touched and impressed beyond words. It’s amazing how these kids even though they’re brought up in such materialistic world and having the words “beautiful! beautiful! slim! make up!” screaming in their faces everyday could actually realise that true beauty comes from within.
If only i could believe that.
