Thank You!

Ki Hajar Dewantara once said that a teacher must be a role model and a supporting system for their student. My grandmother is an elementary school teacher and I can see clearly how her job creates joy and making the world a better living place. Her contribution for decades had produced many successful people.

In my honest opinion, from kindergarten until I’m in college right now, every teacher has a different style of teaching. Some are very kind and the others are not. Who I am today is the product of that kind of teacher. I’m still remembered how I got a credit for the task and it was like the best day of my life, and I’m still remembered when one teacher accused me of plagiarism and not believing in my argument that I’m making the task on my own so I got humiliated in front of the class. Because of it, I see the world from a different point of view from others, from both perspectives.

In my senior high school, I got close enough to several teachers. It was really fun and I learned a lot outside the class, Ms. Ros as my biology teacher really taught me the importance of respecting people, Ms. Sulastri as my Bahasa Indonesia teacher really tough me that we all have control of our situation and we can make a change. But sometimes I learned from a teacher the hard way, I used to be an active student in the class and always got a good score on my exam, and even I volunteered my self to help Mr. x delivering the presentation that day, but after all the hard work of getting a good score, in my final report, I have a much lower score than I expected. From Mr. x I learned that life is equal to y=mx+c, where y is our goal which for me to get the highest score possible, mx is our effort and c is constant for something that we cannot control.

I only wanted to say thank you to the teacher who taught me both in an easy way and a hard way.
