When Nobody is Watching

They are just laughing around and using cell phones. Not doing the task that was given to them, to clean and sweep the dry leaves. They were just talking and laughing.

On the other side, I saw two young girls who were working, sweeping the weeds and collecting the dry leaves into the trash bin.

The two are best friends the girl name Lyca is a grade 8 and Rhia is a grade 7 student they are the new scholars. While others have been scholars for a long time they are senior high, grade 9, and grade 10. But because nobody is watching they are not working they are just busy with their cell phone and others are busy with TikTok.

They are so confident that the superior cannot see them in what they are doing and taking advantage of the kindness of the superior who is not strict, unlike their past superior who is always watching over them. I'm proud of the two scholars they are responsibly doing the task that was given to them. I pity them too because others are not working, only two people which are new scholars do the works.

While I'm busy working together with their parents. I just watch them and listening what they are topic about. Their mothers scold them for using cell phones instead of working. One mother told the scholars " Don't abuse the kindness of sister because she is not around watching all of you then you will not do the works." But what you expected they are not listening!

After working they prepared lunch for everyone. We ate our lunch together at the long table. When 1:00 pm approached we have a bible study then Bible Sharing. After that, we have a meeting for our project the Display Center.

We scheduled the final day for the Opening, and planning for the preparations. Assigning people for their responsibility and contribution, we want everything to be settle.

During the meeting, the scholars are still busy with their cell phones and taking selfies. They are not listening, they having their meeting too and laughing so loud lol. So they interrupt the meeting. The mother opens up about the scholars.

Mother 1:

Sister, you should have been there earlier watching them while working because they were just busy with their cell phones and didn't work properly. They will only move when you are there looking at them.

Mother 2:

Before, when sister H was still handling the scholars, she will collect the cell phones so that they could work well. After they finished she will return back their cell phones.

Mother 3:

They are hard-headed not listening to their mothers.

Sister replied to everyone:

I'm very disappointed to all the high school scholars except to the new scholars. You already know what is right and wrong. Be responsible during work hours and don't forget to be respectful. Is this how young people are today?

There is time to use gadgets and time to work. You know that sister H's policy was right, I hope you just follow that.

I haven't been watching over you earlier because I've been too busy taking care of everything since sister H left. So I'm sorry if I haven't been watching over you earlier. But don't worry because this month I have new colleagues coming. I can now monitor you all the time.

Closing Thoughts

I don't how I will end this article. Many things have changed we are in the modern world but hopefully to have a good manners will not be affected by the change of time. A good attitude is still there especially being kind and respectful to our parents and the elders.

I know we have a different perspective about it. If you can relate or you want to share your opinion feel free to the comment section. Have a good day!
