Teacher Momozizitata

Today saya nak introduce my cousin, seorang English teacher juga. She's an excellent teacher, ramai anak murid yang sayang beliau walaupun dah lama tinggalkan sekolah.

She is definitely a woman made of steel. Bukan sebab beliau mengajar di sekolah yang mempunyai disiplin teruk. But she is given tests that I don't think many of us shared. I think because Allah knows she is strong enough to withstand anything given to her.

Satu, papa yang disayangi (my paklang) sekarang critical di hospital. She is also the only girl in the family, so it is almost natural that my maklang would be very much attached to her. Beliau kehilangan abang sulung yang beliau sangat rapat (actually semua orang rapat dengan Along because he was just a darling to everyone) dan kehilangan Along masih sangat dirasai beliau.

Keduanya, dua dari lima anak beliau adalah anak istimewa. Ini bukanlah bermakna beliau sedih dengan kehadiran mereka, tetapi apa yang perlu orang tahu ialah cabaran mempunyai anak istimewa ini lebih hebat dari cabaran mempunyai anak-anak normal. Beliau perlu memberi sepenuh perhatian dan memastikan keperluan mereka terjaga, sambil memastikan anak-anak lain menerima sepenuh perhatian juga. Juga memastikan anak-anak yang beliau ajar di sekolah menerima perhatian beliau. Sambil menjaga ayah yang tidak sihat. Sambil menjadi wife.

This woman, if anything, deserves all the best thing in the world, for being so strong. I know she falters sometimes, and I want her to know that it is okay, tapi she quickly regains kekuatan beliau. Because that's just who she is.

I have talked to her about this writing, and she gave me permission to write this so that people know that teachers are just human. Guru juga mempunyai life and then we have to put our happy face in front of the students even if we feel sad, or unhappy or angry or anything. Seperti juga semua orang lain dalam dunia. So just be nice to people, kita tak tahu apa struggle mereka. I was foolish enough spending almost my entire life being mean and angry, I hope it is not too late for me to be nice to people.
