Remember the very first day of ite education. my class advisor-Mr Sazali asked the whole class-Ec1B this 3 short question.
1) Why are we in ite?
2) Why make Electronics as our choice?
3) Who do we study for?
Everybody have to take turn to answer him. I am sitting at the last row corner side with yu yue, we both hope that he wont made us the first one to answer that 3 question. Who knows he started off with yu yue first. While yu yue is answering his question, i quickly text charis, but she never never reply :( when it's my turned..
conversation here:
teacher: okay. eileen share with us.
me: Hi! I am eileen. Why am i ended up in ite? Firstly, i didnt do well for my psle exam. I am slacking throughout my exam period.So i ended up in a ordinary neighbourhood sec school. But i did quite well for my N's but infortunately, I am not one of the top student.
teacher: What make you work so hard in sec school?
me: Before my grandpa passed awayed few years ago, he made us promise him we will study hard, pass our exam with flying colors, dont ever let him down. But when i got my psle results i knew i let him down alrdy. So i know i gotta work extra hard to made up the promise that i broke last time. And also a very Big thank you to my sec 3 and 4 maths teacher-Mrs Tay. She never give up any hope on me, though i am one of those lousy and naughty student. Or i should say one of the useless student. This is what she told our class-The Greatest Failure In Life Is Not Trying!!!!!!! Motivate me alot. From there i work very hard for my coming N's.
me: silent for a while.. ... ...
teacher: okay. eileen please continue.
me: Why make electonics my first choice? I dont know why either. One week before my N's, my english teacher asked us what course we are taking next year? Almost all my classmate know what course they want. Except for me. I am really lost of directions. The course i choose my mum dont seem like she approved. So my working colleagues tempt me to take electronics, so i am here today. The whole class laugh out loud.
me: who i study for? I really dont know.
teacher: he didnt asked me any question, but he smile at me.
I know my first impression to him it's not that perfect anymore. But he didnt give up on me. He still put high hope on me, trying his best to help me to be one of the top students. For the first semester, i work very hard with yu yue, we both scored gpa 4 :) Teacher is very happy and statisfied with our results. He asked those 4 pointer if we are happy with our results? I sais "no" though i scored all A's for my 2 modules. I know i can get a better results if i study harder.
During my second semester, due to some reason i took LOA for 3 months, i missed loads of thy and prac lesson, not able to catch up with others. My gpa drop to 3.5! I know somehow he is disappointed with me. I am sorry teacher. I hould have study very hard for that. Blame myself for being so lazy, not putting enough effort and such.
Though i promoted to year 2-wafer fab course, w/o failed he will help me with those things that i got problem with. Things like my class advisor dont wanna help me with. About applying poly issued and poly courses. Till today, i graduated from ite. I know my poly posting wont be success, might need his help with the testimonial thingy. Cos my year 2 teacher dont wanna help me.
here again :) a VERY BIG THANK YOU to HIM Mr Sazali. Thanks for being there for me when i need you, guide me throughout. Your a great teacher of all. I LOVE YOU :)
lastly, teacher i can answer the 3rd question that you asked me 2 years ago. I study for the sake of myself. Not others!!!!!
eileen :)
