Have a Hug

Another interesting text written by Joana Silva, a 10th form student, attending Science and Technologies studies.

Feeling down? Here, have a hug.

The nicest place on the internet is a website created to spread love and comfort. Everyone has those days when things aren’t so good and all we need is a hug. If you have someone to hug you when you’re feeling down, you should feel very special! There’re plenty of people who don’t have anyone to turn to when they’re sad… This website is a proof that we can still have faith in humanity; it shows us that people care about the others…

In this website, people record themselves hugging their camera or their computer. I know, it sounds silly at first, but when you give it a deeper thought, it makes sense and it’s beautiful gesture. There are nice people out there in the internet after all!

Being a teacher @PineTree is not just about teaching, learning, getting involved in the annual planning activities, giving a ride to my students on their way to school or even having lunch with some of them... It is also about being there for them in the saddest moment of their lives... Yesterday, it was one of those moments!... A student of mine lost her father in a tragic and unexpected way!... Together with some other teachers and most of her classmates, I went to the funeral and attended both the religious service and the burial... The principal of our school, as well as her team, were also there, which made it all even more meaningful!... I felt an overwhelming energy was generated in that place. As part of a school community, all of us were there to give our support, trying to lessen her pain...
