A Sad Story from a Aparajita Instructor

This semester, I am being unable to come to teach the Aparajita classes due to my extensive study pressure. I am having four courses from which three courses have labs. Therefore, a lot of time is being consumed by my own classes regularly. As a result, I had to do this painful tradeoff of quitting the Aparajita classes for the time being.
Being an Aparajita Instructor since September 2011, I have been greatly enjoying the role of teaching the amazing student we have. I personally think that the classes are the most attractive part of working at the Aparajita Literacy Program. Now that I can't come to the classes, I am badly missing my students and the energetic class I used to see twice every week. When the other fellow teachers keep telling me that the students asked about me, my heart melts with sadness for not being able to see and interact with the beloved students of mine.
I've got a realization that teaching is not only about having a teacher-student and a knowledge delivering-receiving relationship, teaching has a huge amount of emotional attachment embedded with the whole process.
The students are supporting me in a great deal to overcome the sorrow I have due to missing the classes. The students ask me my updates wherever they see me. Some would pop out suddenly and hug me when I am waiting in front of the lift or I am rushing for my classes. Many students of AUW have told me that they feel really jealous seeing the housekeeping personnel apus having a friendly relation with us.
I would conclude this writing with a wish to end this semester quickly and joining back to the class from the next semester.
