Happy Teachers Day
Hehe, a tribute to all fellow teachers out there. Be it a classroom teacher, tutor, parents or siblings, you are all teachers in a way or another and you are all great (as if talking bout myself right? :P)
A while ago (yesterday), i was lamenting about the appreciation of my students. Many didnt do much [or anything :( ], even those students whom i have put in more effort for remedial lessons, nor the students who frequently asked for consultations, nor the students i asked them to stay back to advise them on their behaviour at the expense of my lunch sometimes and not forgetting the chess club students whom i met frequently to guide them so that they assume their offices much easier.
Just some students did. Some students whom are respectful from the start. They will greet when they see you. Say thank you when you guide them. Wave at you when you are at a distance. These are enough. These students i will remember for very long, way after they graduate. These are the students which i will remember to remind myself not to give up heart for the young minds.
Even in this profession, there exist politics, where leaders can sometimes cared only for themselves, or create a bad staff environment due to some insignificant squabbles. Some teachers always complain and complain, all it is them who gets the high salary (idiots). It all makes the work from bad to worse. Ultimately, it is those students that make your day :)
Those said, it reminds me that i was once a student... My attitude wasn't that good as well i supposed... I didnt appreciate the teachers that were good to me at that time too. I remember that was a Chinese teacher during my JC times, seeing me eating alone in the canteen, came over to eat with me, treated me fruits and talked to me. Then after, she will talk to me often whenever possible. I didnt visit her the few years after i graduated (but i did give her a card for 2 years :P), and when i went back a few years ago, she was no longer teaching there, so was my J2 civics tutor or any of the teachers that left an impression on me...
Thats reminds me of my secondary times too (primary cannot quite remember except for an obnoxius indian teacher @_@ ) , there are many teachers that leave impression esp the teacher who insisted i drop bio (:S) or the pretty yet fierce art teacher or the physics teacher who like to give a pat (loud) when you cannot answer his question. Even the science teacher who practice favourtism left a space in my brain. Or the teacher who lent (yes, lent) me $10 because i lost my wallet during a maths camp. Those are all memories now...
Wow, what a nostalgic day for me... All the memories comes flowing...
To end off, to all the teachers out there, you really do leave an impression to your students. Be nice ok :)
"May all the memories that stay be good..."

Yes, u r rite! U remind me of some teachers who I still rem and guess will never forget....
My form teacher in pri sch whom we visited her house twice after graduation; the sec 3 history teacher who drilled fear into me and nearly made me hate history and the sec 4 history teacher who was so patient that I took up history again in JC; the JC chinese teacher who didnt really taught me but nv failed to coach me in my writing and helped me won numerous prizes, who gave me lotza free books and encouraging words, words that i can still recite now. they made me who i am today. thanx to all of them, good or bad =)
