The month of December is generally called a festive month and also a season of sharing and giving. Giving gifts in cash or kind, giving our time, giving joy, giving love and most importantly giving hope.

Our students can learn a lot from observing others and imbibing some good values.

Sharing a story that can provide a source of motivation to our students to be ‘Giving individuals’, demonstrating empathy and kindness.

A certain company had a tradition of holding a party and a lottery every Christmas Eve.

The rules of the lottery draw were as follows: each employee pays ten dollars as a fund. There were three hundred people in the company. In other words, a total of three thousand dollars can be raised.  The winner takes all the money home.

On the day of the lottery draw, the office was filled with a lively atmosphere. Everyone wrote their names on the slips of paper and put them in the lottery box.

However, a young man hesitated when he wrote.  Because he thought that the company's Cleaning  lady's frail and sickly son was going to have an operation soon after the dawn of New Year but she did not have the required money to pay for the operation, which made her quite troubled.

So, even though he knew that the chance of winning was slim, with only a 0.33 percent chance, the man wrote the name of the Cleaner lady on the note.

The tense moment came. The boss doubled in the lottery box, and finally drew out a note. The man also kept praying in his heart: hoping against  hope that the Cleaning lady could win the prize...Then the boss carefully announced the winner’s  Name, and a miracle happened!

The winner turned out to be the Cleaning lady. Cheers broke out in the office, and the Cleaning lady hurriedly rushed to the stage to accept the award. She almost burst into tears and said, " I am so fortunate and blessed!  With this money, my son now has hope!"

At the beginning of the party, while thinking about this "Christmas miracle", the man paced to the lottery box.

He took out a piece of paper and opened it casually.

The name on it was also the name of the Cleaning lady! 

The man was very surprised.

He took out several pieces of paper one after another.Although the handwriting on them was different, the names were all the same, all of them were the names of the Cleaning lady  

The man's eyes were filled with tears and he clearly understood that there was a Christmas miracle in the world, but  the miracle will not fall from the sky,  the people were required to create it by themselves!

May our students become such miracles in the lives of the less privileged and needy people in and around them in the society.

Wishing all our parents, students, teachers and faculty wishes for a festive season and a blessed New Year 2022.

Warmest Regards,
