Last Day

On my last day of practicum, my students surprised me with their kad rayas, presents, letters and thank-you cards. I was so touched. Maybe I am not such a hopeless teacher after all.

Here are snippets from a student's card. She used to display such an indifference to my lessons. It was so hard to get her to smile. So, what she wrote meant the world to me.

• disini kami nak ucapkan Selamat Hari Raya buat cik Syada yang telah mengajar kami, walaupun kami percaya, kelas kami adalah kelas yang paling nakal, degil and sukar dikawal... (hehehe)
• disini jugak, kami nak mintak maaf atas segala kenakalan kami and kalau cik syada ader rase sedih dan sakit hati disebabkan kami, kami harap cik syada maafkan dan lupakan.
• tak dinafikan, sejak cik S. masuk ke kelas kami, ramai diantara kami yang tak sabar menantikan jadual Bahasa Inggeris! Kalau dulu... biler tiba jer mase BI, separuh dari pelajar lelaki semuanye keluar, kalau aderpun, tu kira nasib baik... (hohoho)
• so bile dengar cik S. dah nak pergi..., kami semua berase sedih and sayu... Tapi, kami doakan semoga cik S. berjaya di luar sana nanti
• datang tiba-tiba, pergi pun tiba-tiba, semoga cik Syada selalu bergembira, kami di sini jangan dilupa...
