Was So Glad!!!

Receive a call from one of my previous student who sends me greetings for the Teacher’s Day. Then be begun to share with me of how he was coping with his studies in the Poly. I was very pleased when I hear from him. No, not because he remembers me for Teacher’s Day, but because of what he did in Poly. So what was it that he did that caused me to be so pleased?

Here, he relate how because he was an ex-ITE students in Info-comms and with the knowledge he acquired in ITE, he was one of the better one who knows the subject, as compared with those who just came from “O” level. The best thing was that when he was asked by his lecturer to help the other, he did not refrain from helping them.

This was something that I had always been hoping to see in my students. A desire to be a blessing to other, never a selfish type, one who is willing to share what he or she has. To me, I would have considered that I had done justice to my calling as a teacher. No, I do not hope for gifts from students during such occasion such as Teacher’s Day, as long as I know that each and everyone is turning out to be good citizens, I would be very glad!!!

I would deemed myself as a failure, if my students had grown up to be selfish person or one who only cares for himself. All that I had done as a teacher, whether it is through my actions, my speech or even as in this blog, I just hope that it will have an impact on my students and that they will be changed to be a better person, a compassionate human being, always prepared to help others instead of just thinking of themselves!!!

With this note, I will end my blog and hopes that all who read will make a conscious effort to be a source of blessing to others
