A Teacher's Meditation
The children entrusted to me represent personalities with
distinctive needs and possibilities. They characterize childhood
with its innocence, trust, love, enthusiasm, and uninhibited
reactions.
How can I, who have journeyed years beyond the portals of
childhood, give supportive guidance so that each child will
develop his full potential?
I must remember that a child is sensitive and has feelings
that can be hurt. Then I will be understanding, gentle, tactful
while I teach and guide with firm conviction.
I must remember that a child is trusting. Then I will be
honest so that his confidence is strengthened rather than
weakened.
I must remember that a child’s problems are large to him,
then I will never belittle, but will guide him in solving his
problems and thereby help him to become strong.
I must remember that a child is often thoughtless; then I
will be able to forgive his unintentional discourteous remarks
and misbehaviour, and at the same time guide him into
respect and consideration.
I must remember that each child is an individual, then I
will let him be himself rather than require him to conform to
an established pattern. I will seek to discover and develop his
desirable characteristics, and help him overcome and discard
undesirable patterns of behaviour. At the same time I will help
him recognize and accept his limitations and live happily "as
he is"
All this is my responsibility. Though my daily introspection
and consideration for the unique needs of each of my
children, we both shall experience a year of joy and successful
learning.
One rainy day a kindergarten teacher was helping the
children with their rain gear. Getting the galoshes on the last
little boy was quite a struggle. Just as they were finally both
on, the little boy said: "Teacher, those galoshes aren’t mine.”
With a sigh, the teacher struggled again to pull them off.
Then the little boy said, "They belong to my sister. My mother
let me wear them today.”
A third grader was counseling his youngest brot.ar who
was just getting ready to start school: "Remember, in school
when the teacher says, "NO,” she means it; it’s not like
around here.”
The first time a school boy learns that a little learning is a
dangerous thing is when he brings home a poor report card.
A Humanitarian Project
......adopting a Refugee Family
The matter of adopting a
refugee family from Indochina
(boat-people) was discussed at
the Catholic Parish Council
meeting.
Anyone who has seen any
pictures on T.V., or read about
these people must be moved
and willing to help them. We
who are so blessed, must feel a
duty to help these suffering
people. The adoption of a fam-
ily is a way to help a few. If
more people cared, they would
all be provided for.
The “boat people” are the
Indochinese people who have
left the security of their homes,
family, friends, in a bid to find
freedom and a quality of life
that is worth living for — or
dying without.
Some have been adrift for
months, with the moe fragile
dying, many only very small,
helpless children. Most often
they have been robbed of any
money or possessions by
pirates.
Many of these people have
backgrounds as teachers, arti-
sans, merchants, medical
people, technicians, farmers
and could be an asset to any
community. They simply desire
employment, a place to live,
schooling for the children/ a
better grasp of English and a
degree of economic indepen-
dence. Much the same as we
Americans do.
At the most elemental level,
sponsorship means finding
homes and employment and
helping these people adjust to

the American way of life, but it
is not a legal commitment,
rather a moral one. There are
government funds available for
initial expenses so that spon-
sors need not be burdened with
this. But, you, the people, are
still needed in helping these
people to adjust, learn, find
work and, in general, become
useful citizens.
Open your hearts to these
desperate people. In fact, we
ought to ask ourselves, “Why
have I waited so long?”
If there are any questions,
please call Mrs. Billie Lang at
864-4132 or Father Gitter at 864-
4026. We welcome anyone to
join us in this humanitarian
project.
