While teaching my six-formers, I had the chance to share some of my experience with them when I was first postetd to Pekan to take my teaching post.Nice sharing some thoughts with them. My experience about my father who had health problems and how the tok bomoh from Air Hitam, Mr Bahari helped my father to recover... My first posting to SMK. Dato Mahmud mat and two teachers Mr Gan and Tengku Ahmad who create havoc in the first two years of my teaching there.
Its nice to reflect your past, once in a while, the good ones and also the bad ones. Memories are memories and must me cherished all the time. I used to tell my kids. Enjoy every moment in the school. You will never experience it again. School life for a kid must be fun and not over stress on examination. The pressure will make them sick.
When I first enter the form four'09 (the weakest class)I had a lot of dreams to achieve with them. I was expecting just too much from them. Sometimes I feel very distresswhen they are not cooperating with me. I was worried that I may fail. A good discussion with Mr Tong has helped me a lot to change my perceptions towards the kids. Now i am not expecting too much from them. i enjoy teaching them. Yesterday, one of the kid ask me, Sir How the electricity is generated? Another one was amused, "wei, this is commerce ok. Why you are asking this question?" The kid replied, "Mr Karthik knows a lot of thing". I feel so proud to be his reference and thank him for having a high regard on me. These kids need friends to talk, they want somebody to appreciate the little knowledge they have. They want to excel. I hope I will do my part to help them sail through their school life savely and leave school with good preparation to face the uncertainty of real world. I love you kids..
