They care...

I have never thought that there are still students that care in our school...

After the teacher’s day assembly in the morning, when I was about to enter the staff room, I noticed a few boys were gathering around the table outside the staff room, and they were talking and looking at something on the table. Those boys used to be restless and playful in the school, but they looked serious at that moment.

Out of curiosity, I walked towards them to find out what on earth they were discussing about. And when I got near to the table, I was really surprised that they were looking at the pictures on the newspaper and discussing about the earthquake happened in Szechuan!

I have never known that there are still students that care in this school. What I know is the children today know nothing and care nothing other than their studies, homework, exam, tuitions and material needs. They are well protected by their parents, living such comfortably that they never bother to care about anything around them. They are not taught to observe, to think, to care, to help, to share, to love...

I was really touched by the scene they gathered round the newspaper on the table, and in order to guide them to be more caring, I immediately joined them in their discussion...
