youths.

yesterday at wsc, one of the youths i usually teached touched me. he specifically asked for me to teach him; made me promise i'll go next week; insist i take his sweets and eat it in front of him; shared that he stalked a cross-dressing man at JP. another hardworking malay boy called me sister on one occasion and boss on another.

its just this sense of joy when the youths you teach come for sessions and look for & talk to you. its even more satisfying when they voluntarily bring their schoolwork and ask you questions (esp if its math). i'm glad i've stayed two years and counting. its things like this that pushes me along on thursdays.
