Teacher's Day vs Perseverance

12-May-2010

Four more days to teacher's day in Malaysia. Hehe. I love teacher's day. Not everyone choose to become a teacher. It is not an easy job either. I wish Happy Teacher's Day to my former teachers especially from SASER who taught me a lot about life. I am not a good student nor the most clever, so they might forgotten me by now. Yet, I really appreciate every single thing that they teach me throughout my study. Dear friends, don't forget to wish your teachers.

I did became substituted teacher for about a month plus, teaching maths......... Believe me, it is not an easy job. It seems very easy but it is not actually. So, you want to be a teacher?

Teachers plant seeds of knowledge that grow forever. This statement is so true since I did expereince it myself when I was in secondary school. This is something like life learning experience which has nothing to do with academic and curricular.

Perseverance. I believe we could see this quality inside teacher. They have perseverance, they never give up. No matter how difficult it is to teach their student, they will not give up. I amaze with this quality inside teacher. Whenever students success, there are teachers behind them who fill happy for them without asking for anything. If ever someone fail, they are the one who get worry and sympathy to the students.

When I was in form 4, I been assigned to talk about perseverance in english in front of other students. My english was disaster, and no hope to be improved. The text was prepared by my teacher and I have to practice to pronounce and push my courage to speak in front of the crowd.

Though I did not understand the content before, now I realize what it is all about, perseverance, never giving up. My english is not so good, but with help of teacher, who always be patient and help me and also make an extra class after school just for me, I really appreciated. Ms Z, she help me a lot, teach me, review my essay, listen to my story and a lot more.

With this effort shown by my teacher, I started to develop this quality in my life. Never give up, I am not good in english, but I keep trying and learning the language so that I could improve it. I choose to study in UTP where the medium of communication in english, did my internship in Sudan where I have no choice except talking in english and now here I am working in multinational company where I speak and deal with people in english.

I am glad with help and effort from all my teachers that remind me not to give up, I am who I am right now. I have a good work and life thanks to them. But study will never end. I will continue the journery of wonderful life.

Tribute to all my teacers, this is your report card.
