Teaching newcommers
Today I have been visiting our class where newly arrived children go to. These kids have been in Sweden between less than two weeks to six months. Many of them have never been to a school and some are analphabetics. The work the teachers do here is heroic in every way and I am so impressed. I was extremely moved by two paintings a girl made. The first one she painted during her first days in Sweden and the second one just recently. The first one shows a little, sad girl without meaning, hope or future while the second one...well, you can see for yourself below.
This day made me realize a lot about my job and the meaning of my work. And perhaps at some point, the meaning of my existence. To help others. Perhaps that's why I am here - not for myself, but for others. This ought to be a meaning better than any other meanings.
