How should i tell this story, ya? Well, let's just say that i was bloody late to class today. Today, i am supposed to teach the Tool & Die students Pneumatics. In fact, last night, i told them to be punctual and come to class at 8.45am, but then do you know what i woke up? 9.15am! I was late...
And worst, i woke up because my student (her name is Erna) called me today. Aiyyyaaa....i was so ashamed of myself. Usually, i am never late when it comes to class. I am always on time and punctual. However, things didn't work out well, so, what to do..?
Next, i had my shower and the whole itty-bitty process took about 15 minutes. By the time i reached office, it was 9.45am. Wah, so late. Luckily, on my way to office, i called the students to just cancel the goddamn class. In a way, it is kinda frustrating, but now, i'm over it.
You see, i love teaching. I love being able to stand in front of crowds and teach them something that the don't know. usually, the larger the crowd is, the more excited i get. yes, and this is true.
anyway, i told my students that next week (my class for this group is once-a-week), i will definitely be on time and won't disappoint them again.
oh yes, i owed each of them a drink. so, i have to treat them later in a week. if each drink costs RM 1.50, then 1.50 x 22 = RM 33. i have to fork out RM 33....
But hey, i don't mind...i believe that if you treat people sincerely, then Allah the almighty God will reward you double the amount. Trust me...
A friend (and math professor) told me once that a young teacher is always afraid to commit mistakes in front of his students. It's hard to get over with when it happens. But now I'm on the 4th year of teaching, I take it lightly. People make mistakes and that is something we cannot change because we are not perfect.
