my Day
Today teachers around Malaysia are celebrated around the country because it's Teacher's Day.
It's a day where I've chosen to celebrate the teachers that have come my way. I'm sad I don't have their photos to upload but I just want to take this opportunity to thank them one by one.
Teacher Low (Luo Lao Shi):
My primary school teacher who followed us kids from Standard One right up until Standard Six. I always remember her playing the piano for our music class and being very fierce when she scolded us for misbehaving. We always made her cry because we're the best class in school but we were the naughtiest. She would vow never to cane us again because we've learnt our lessons, but next year she'd a more "painful" cane for us :P
Nevertheless, because of her, I've learnt a lesson about not crying so easily. She always told us, "if you did something wrong, admit it and move on. Don't cry. If you cry, make sure its because someone is mistreating you, then you have every right to cry."
I've never forget the graduation book she made for us. She compiled our pictures, wrote words of encouragement for each of us and photostated for the whole class and ordered wooden plaques with the words "Fen Dou" (perseverance) on them to give to us.
She really inspired me to be excellent in my studies : )
Puan Raihah
She was my Art and English teacher when I was in secondary school and she totally opened up the creative side of me. She motivated me and a few friends into getting involved with art work in school. We'd do dozens of banners and paint the school walls.
Not only that, her insistence of good English was awesome : ) we even got involved with the school magazine and editting articles. I remember the year when we thought she wouldn't mind that we didn't do the Teacher's Day project. We got a very big scolding and I learnt from that day onwards.. no matter how insignificant an assignment is, it is worth doing because if you respect and love someone... you would do it no matter what.
Mrs. Ramdas
My MUET teacher in Convent Bukit Nanas. She was ultra cool. Our lessons were full of conversations and she even bought me a book to inspire me after Form Six. I remember that she let us hear the recitation of the Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" by "the world's sexiest man" - - - Hugh Grant. Muahaha... but seriously, she was full of grace and sophistication.
But of course... my greatest Teacher and Role Model..
Jesus Christ : )
Every day, its a new lesson to learn. Every minute I can't thank You enough for being so patient for my screw ups, so loving even when I chose to be stubborn. The lessons I've learnt so far have been something invaluable in my life.
When I am tired - I have learnt to look to Him
When I lose hope - I have learnt to look to Him
When I am lost - I have learnt to look to Him
Jesus is a teacher too : ) when his disciples were bickering, doubtful and unteachable... He didn't react or punish..but instead gave them His understanding, love and patience. When He was tired, He turned to God first before making any decisions.
That's what I need to learn this year. To look to God for renewal, hope and strength. I've been trying to do things so much on my own that I've been blind to God for awhile.
Happy Teacher's Day!!! All of these teachers have been instrumental in forming my character and personality. I love you all! And I love You, Jesus, most of all!
