A treasured possession

When I left Turkey and my job I was gifted this bracelet by the parents of the children in my class. It reads “LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE”. I haven’t taken it off in over two years. It has given me strength when my confidence has lapsed and has made me feel connected with my old life. If I feel low I just give the bangle a rub and it gives me an immediate boost.

Today I am grateful to my work colleague who went out of her way to collect me to take me to work today, drove us both to our course after school and then, again,
went out of her way to drive me home.
