Seeing my former students all grown up isn't as hard as seeing them with their own kids who are around the same age now that they were when I was their teacher! 🤣

It's bittersweet, isn't it? Seeing them as adults brings back so many memories.

Oh so true! I love it when my former students introduce me to their kids as their favorite teacher.

One of my former students recently sent me a picture of his son who is now 11 years old. He sent me the picture of a puppet his son created, because he remembers how much I love puppetry.

I'm teaching a young boy whose dad I had at the same age 18 years ago.

My first group of students are 38-39 years old now. It warms my heart for them to call, see me, and remember my conversations in the classroom. One student is a genius and owns a loan company, a Senator’s Chief of staff, a Lobbyist, teachers, lawyers, carpenter, and project managers. I’m so happy to hear they have worked hard and succeeded. It was kinda weird having some of their children, but I always thought they were easier to deal with. They knew me and my discipline style, and that I’m fair. For me, it was a win, win!

You were a part of their success! That is quite a list of achievements, and those belong to you, too.

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

F*****-up story…please be constructive (but also open & direct)
With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
