Hard Times

I could talk about my experience of getting back into the classroom after a three-year absence. Trying to learn the routine, memorize student's names and faces, etc. But I won't.

Life has been so much easier for me this week, because every time I began to feel even a little tired or stressed, I remembered the people of the Gulf coast.

No homes. Missing friends and family members. Difficult living conditions. Lack of food and water. Death.

I think I can manage my little daily challenges.

Remember to give generously to the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Money. Food. Shelter. Prayers.

May Allah help them all.
