Why Being An English Teacher Matters



The PMR results have been announced yesterday. I totally forgot about it, until I received this SMS from my student. I have tutored her especially for PMR, and she is actually from another school. "Thank you teacher, I've got 9A's for my PMR. You have helped me a lot". I was smiling all over. This year marked my 10 years into teaching. Teaching English precisely. God knows, how happy I was receiving that SMS from her, knowing that she thanked and appreciated me. Then, I've got this message through FB, a former student reflecting his 3rd former's days of me being strict with him not finishing his English essays and now gladly understanding my motives. He's now 22 years old. Yes, teachers forgot but students remembered. Those two messages touched me in a discreet way, not knowing that in those 10 years I have actually made a difference to different individuals. Thank you too, dear students for remembering me. The best Teacher's Day presents for this year...
