You Never Forget A Good Teacher

While I was searching Nutrilon Royal Commercials, a featured video on right sidebar attracted me. It called 'a touching commercial that rubs the deepest part of your heart'. I curiously opened it and this what I've got!

Inspirational commercial, isn't it?

FYI, originally it's first launched by MOE (Ministry of Education) Singapore last year. This ad can motivate teachers especially me as a new experienced teacher. The video uploader afrinkhan1980 left a short important note as follows:

"Teachers are role models to their pupils. They influence young minds and inculcate social and moral values through word and deed, within and outside the classroom. They must impart to pupils learning skills, thinking skills and life skills to cope with the future; an attitude of continuous learning and improvement." 

You never forget a good teacher.
TEACH. You'll be amazed at the difference you can make.

Suddenly I thought of my twelfth graders who celebrate their graduation today. Right after this, will I be remembered by them as a good teacher? Did I show that I cared about them? Did I help them in overcoming their problems?

Dr. Johl, a former Vice-Chancellor of Punjab Agricultural University, stated that teaching is not merely a job but an on going process. Like kindling a lamp, a good teacher ignites the minds of his/her students to unveil their hidden talents. He advised, "Give your students love, affection, and feel concerned for your students."

I should keep introspecting myself and my teaching way. Should be more patient facing the 'hard-controlled ones'. Should devote a couple of time to instill more moral values and life values in my students not only the contents. Because the real teaching is teaching with the heart. TEACH with heart!

Hope I can be like Mrs. Chong - a teacher who won't be forgotten forever.

This post is dedicated to my teachers I met and my twelfth grade students who just graduated and will face the real world ahead. :')

Dear hard working students, didn't you have huge dreams? Catch them. :')

*You might be wondering about what ensued at 00:38. The red painting scrawled on the wall "O$P$; has been written by loan sharks and means "Owe money, Pay money". It seemed someone in the family owed loan shark money and was not able to pay back.*
