Question

The teachers are preparing their classrooms for the start of classes. As their principal, I was energized by their enthusiasm. Everywhere I went, I asked the same question, “How are you doing?” And everywhere I went, I received the same answer, “just fine.”

There was only one person whom I didn’t quite believe. It was her first year of teaching. Her classroom was inviting. She seemed well-prepared. On the outside everything seemed just fine, but there was something in her eyes that mad me ask that question again and again.

Then came Wednesday. “How are you doing?” I asked. “Mr. Boyce, I think I’m going to make it,” she said. The office was full of teachers and noise, but the voices became quiet as the young teacher continued.

“Monday night, after our open house (开放参观日)，I just didn’t think I could do it. There were so many parents and children, and I felt under great pressure. When I told my family I didn’t think I could do it , they said I had to try.

“The next morning school started. I thought I was ready, but there were so many of them and their needs were so different. I just didn’t know how I could manage.

“I said to my parents if I had fewer kids I could handle it. So they asked me which children I would get rid of. But I couldn’t decide. I’d only had them for one day, but I couldn’t think of a single child I could do without. They’re mine. I can’t do without any of them. I don’t know how, but I’m just going to do the best I can and I really think I’m going to make it. “

There wasn’t a dry eye in the office when I replied, “I think you are, too.”
