Once
I met a lady by the name of Freda. She is gentle in appearance with long hair,
pointed nose, tantalizing eyes and very composed and relaxed posture. I would
say that she is an epitome of a lady who is prim and proper in her words and
deeds.
I
was hoping and praying that the next Principal I would work with is someone who
would be supportive and understanding enough which I always look for. As days
passed by, I was thinking and feeling like a psychic who is guessing expecting
that things would be better every day working with her.
First
week, second week, third week and a month cruises by, I am slowly getting to
know what kind of a school leader and person Ms. Freda was. With her soft and gentle voice that
reverberates in my ears, I can’t help but listen to her and give her my pure
and genuine attention.
Time
flies very fast and I have not noticed that we were getting to know each other
in a level that is pure and unforgettable. She has always been very
professional, pleasant, mature, generous, and most of all understanding especially
in situations that the only thing you hope for is that you would be well
understood. She has surpassed my expectations and prayer for a Principal that I
would like to work with.
As
I get to know her better, she has continued to show her authentic self that was
transcending and humbling in God’s heavenly ways. The moment I was grieving for
the loss of my uncle, the time I was struggling in things that I do, the things
I shared my personal stories too, she would always be there to listen and make
me realize that things would always turn out to be perfectly fine. I doubted,
questioned, complained and bargained and all of these pessimism and cynicism in
me has slowly been crystallized, purified and enlighten by her.
Now
that things have to change and that it has to end in God’s esoteric reason. I
felt more than blessed to have a Principal, friend, confidant and sister in
Christ who has shown me how things in life can be created by GOD so precious
for me.
Freda,
a lady of GOD, you have inspired me and many people in many ways and I will
always be grateful to GOD for this wonderful and amazing grace. Part of you has
made me see things in a different perspective and has brought me closer to GOD
our heavenly Father and King.
Till we meet again!
