MANILA, Philippines – A kind teacher took the extra mile to make his student smile by treating him to his first-ever fast food meal.
On Facebook, Teacher Venus Sulit shared a touching story of how his Grade 1 pupil Jayson Maghirang was so grateful for the reward she gave him. According to her, Jayson was hailed a champion in marathon that she decided to treat him to a popular fast food chain.
Much to Teacher Venus' surprise, it was actually Jayson's first time ever inside the food place. She shared their conversation:
Jayson: "Ma'am, ipagjo-jollibee nyo po ako? Parang sobra naman po yata 'yon, ehh nanalo lang naman po ako ehh" *with his innocent face*
Ako: "Ano ka ba? Anong nanalo LANG? Ikaw po kaya ang champion sa mathrathon sa buong Sariaya East, deserve mo naman po na ipag-jollibee kita!"
Jayson: "Di pa po kasi ako nakakapasok ng Jollibee mula nung ipinanganak ako, nahihiya po ako!"
While the beloved fast food place is filled with many children everyday, for Jayson dining there for the first time felt like a dream come true.
Teacher Venus become emotional how simple and humble Jayson's wish was. She continued that at his young age, Jayson has been through a lot in life.
She said, "And my tears started falling down! 'Di ko lubos maisip na ang kausap ko ay ISANG GRADE 1 STUDENT pa lamang na dapat puro laro lang ang nasa isip but then para siyang matanda kung makipag-usap because of what he experienced on his life in this kind of age!"
Without revealing the full details of Jayson's life story, Teacher Venus shared that their family doesn't even have a TV or electricity at home. But in spite of it all, Jayson remains to be smiling and a happy child.
She said that while she was the one who shared her blessings with Jayson, the young boy also gave her something in return- a reminder to be grateful in life.
Teacher Venus said, "'Di ko man makuwento ang buhay na meron siya ngayon but I could really tell that the life of this child will inspire you to become strong in facing problems in life yet nagagawa niya pa ring ngumiti! Matututunan mo rin sa kanya kung gaano ka kaswerte sa buhay at kung gaano mo kailangan makontento kung anong meron ka sa kasalukuyan."
