I'm wordless!!

 An ex-student of mine texted me today and I quote:

Salam, hye dr. How r u? :) I just wanna share my experience today... I had a conversation with my students today in their class n they told me that they were inspired when they know my story at the university and how i bcme their lecturer.  So i told them i was inspired by u and i did mentioned to them that the way i approchd them are more less the way u approchd us before.  well i just wanna say thank u for being such a lovely and supportive lecturer and because of u i bcme who i am today, even tho the journey is still very long but u will be my forever inspiration.  Thanks again dr!

And my reply (in a more or less abridged version):

Alhamdulillah. Am equally blessed to have dedicated student like u.  Glad that I have such an impact in your life eventhough am not sure what I did right. I'm not trained to teach.  I'm passionate to teach. Loved what you do and you'll enjoy it more, insya-Allah.

In short, this post is dedicated to all those who have been under my 'wings' before.  Without you, I'm nobody. That's it. I'm wordless (is this similar to speechless???).  Names are purposely left out because you know who you are and the most important thing, I know who you are.
