A Teacher's Lesson

Photo Flipbook Slideshow Maker





Teddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners. He is a joy to be around."

His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."

His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken."

Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag.

Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one quarter full of perfume. But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist.

Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to." After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she quit teaching reading, and writing, and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children.

Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one of her "teacher's pets."

A year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.

Four years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had in his whole life.

Then four more years passed and yet another letter came. This time he explained that after he got his bachelor's degree, he decided to go a little further. The letter explained that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had. But now his name was a little longer - the letter was signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.

The story doesn't end there. You see, there was yet another letter that spring. Teddy said he'd met this girl and was going to be married. He explained that his father had died a couple of years ago and he was wondering if Mrs. Thompson might agree to sit in the place at the wedding that was usually reserved for the mother of the groom. Of course, Mrs. Thompson did. And guess what? She wore that bracelet, the one with several rhinestones missing. And she made sure she was wearing the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.


They hugged each other, and Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson's ear, "Thank you Mrs. Thompson for believing in me. Thank you so much for making me feel important and showing me that I could make a difference."

Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, "Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn't know how to teach until I met you."





Love VS Jealousy

Jealousy surely is a funny word!!! Jealousy can be a complicated in so many ways especially in a relationship. Jealousy is a MUST they say to keep the relationship going and to make it more interesting. It also make us believe that the partner is truly IN LOVE with us..... Funny right, I guess we can say that love is truly BLIND...It blinded us in some way that we can't see the real us and reality behind it.. Which is sad to say...!!!

The problem here is not about jealousy is love or not, it is the amount a person should have it in a relationship.....
I do wonder how many amount of jealousy is appropriate for a person to have!! Well, jealousy is kinda romantic but too much can spell disaster. I have few of my friends whose boyfriend are the jealous type, the BF forbid the GF to talk or befriend to any guys.... He controls the GF's life to a point that the GF sort live in world permitted only by the BF... Sad but true.. If the GF refuse, hell broke loose ... By then, both either break up or fight the night out. True, I even seen them fighting!!! I do also have friends that their BF was a TOTAL Green Eyed MOnster, so protective and super psycho. How psycho u ask, well, this particular BF not only forbid her to ONLY go out with him, he also make her stay at home the whole time, only go out 2 school and even forbid her to go out even with us her own besties, he even bought her a hp so that he can call her and know wherever she is. Also, for every man that talks to her, he will b sort of in a rage afterward.... They will start this huge fight which my friend end up crying her eyes out and me being a good friend came to consult her... I thought the fact that she have enough of him will end the relationship, but 3 days later they make up again... Urgh.... The cycle continue. I remember there is one incident in which me and her went out to the local Tamu, an hour later we saw his car just circling the Tamu area.... Then out of nowhere he came and start dragging my friend .... I mean OMG, I was not only embarrassed by his stupidity but I just want 2 smack him in the face. I did try to be talk politely to him, but then how cud u talk 2 such ignorant and stupid person!!! Well, thank God she dump the loser and I do hope the best for her.

Sometimes too much amount of jealousy will cause the relationship to be abusive. Urgh.... that is super sad for the abuse victim.... I seen that before, surely it was a sight that I wish I shall never encounter...... Hurrr....thinking bout it even gives me goosebumps. No wonder I am a commitment freak......

We use to hear bout the man being the Green Eyed Monster type and woma
n being the victim... Still, woman are not that far behind. I guess it is funny for woman being the jealous type, how a woman capable of controlling the a man's life and it does seems degrading to some level for man.... But it is the truth. Truth does hurt.... Imagine a grown man kick out of the house because the woman simply unable to control her jealousy and act lunatic-ally... Well, to a certain degree it is funny but then you realize how woman can b such a BITCH... and this particular woman is totally a BITCH for not having any respect for the man she called her husband. She treat the husband like a garbage, if she like him she keep him and if she doesn't then out you go. Well, her angelic looking face totally deceive all of us.......How ironic....!! Honestly laaaa... If you ever meet this woman you'll surely thought I was making some bad stories bout her... Bu that's the truth..She is a damn good actress, bloody bitch!! She always goes to church on Sunday yet it never click 2 her the marriage's vow she made, which is to obey your husband!! Puhleez laaaa woman ....How ignorant is she, true they say, ignorance is a bliss!! I do hope Karma will educate this woman about "what goes around comes around".... I do wish she could read this, but unfortunately she's too stupid 2 use the Internet.... God bless her 4 that!!!

Anyway, if it is just a relationship, we can simply break it up and move on, but w
hat if it is a marriage consent by the church and involve kids and family at large. Do we walk away from it or we stay and take the heat... Either way, both options cause nothing but loss and to some level emotional breakdown. Nevertheless, if ending a marriage might save a tiny soul in our heart and set us free, then so be it. A happy marriage is when both people are committed , have mutual understanding, mutual respect and good communication, when all fails .... ending it might not be that bad.....

Soreee if I offend anyone, but hey it's my blog and haters be gone.... So la
dies and gentleman, jealous moderately and love truly..... Hohoho..............Love truly does hurt...... painfully SAKIT !!!

It's hard to determine
where to draw the line
between being nice
and not hurting people's feelings,
and standing up
for what you believe.

Battle of the Sexes

Sex

Women prefer 30 to 45 minutes of foreplay. Men prefer 30 to 45 seconds of foreplay. For the man, driving back to her place is considered a part of foreplay.

Maturity

Women mature at a much faster rate than men. Most 17 year old females can function as adults. Most 17 year old males are still trading baseball cards and giving each other wedgies after gym class. This is why high school romances rarely work.

Groceries

A woman knows how to shop for groceries. She makes a list of the things she needs, and then goes to the store and buys these things. A man does not shop on a frequent basis. He waits until the only items left in his refrigerator are an opened can of Schlitz and a half a lime. Then he goes grocery shopping. A man buys everything that looks good. By the time a man reaches the checkout counter, his cart is packed tighter than the Clampett's car on the Beverly Hillbillies. Of course, this will not stop him from going to the 10 items or less lane.

Magazines

Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women's magazines also feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is lumpy and hairy and should not be seen by the light of day.

Handwriting
To their credit, men do not decorate their penmanship. They just chicken-scratch. Women use scented, colored stationary, and they dot their "i's" with circles and hearts. Women use ridiculously large loops in their "p's" and "g's." It is a royal pain to read a note from a woman. Even when she's dumping you, she'll put a smiley face at the end of the note.

Comedy
Let's say a small group of men and women are in a room, watching television, and an episode of the Three Stooges comes on. Immediately, the men will get very excited; they will laugh uproariously, and even try to imitate the actions of Curly, man's favorite stooge. The woman will roll their eyes and groan and wait it out.

Bathrooms
A man has 6 items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, a razor, a bar of Dial soap and a towel from a Holiday Inn. The average number of items in a typical American women's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

Going Out
When a man says he is ready to go out, it means he is ready to go out. When a woman says she is ready to go out, it means she will be ready, as soon as she finds her other earring, makes one phone call and finishes putting on her makeup.

Cats
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

Shoes
When preparing for work, a woman will put on a Mondi wool suit, and then slip into Reebok sneakers. She will carry her dress shoes in a plastic bag from Saks. When a woman gets to work, she will put on her dress shoes. Five minutes later she will kick them off because her feet are under the desk. A man will wear one pair of shoes for the entire day.

Leg Warmers
Leg warmers are sexy. A woman, even if she's walking the dog or doing the dishes, is allowed to wear leg warmers. She can wear them any time she wants. A man can only wear leg warmers if he is auditioning for the "Gimme the Ball" number in A Chorus Line.

Mirrors
Men are vain; they will check themselves out in the mirror. Women are ridiculous; they will check out their reflections in any shiny surface, mirrors, spoons, store windows, toasters, or Joe Garagiola's head.

Menopause
When a woman reaches menopause, she goes through a variety of complicated emotional, psychological, and biological changes. The nature and degree of these changes varies with the individual. Menopause in a man provokes a uniform reaction -- he buys aviator glasses, a snazzy French cap and leather driving gloves, and goes shopping for a Porsche.

The Telephone
Men see the telephone as a communication tool. They use the telephone to send short messages to other people. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.

Offspring
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and soccer games and romances and best friends and favorite foods and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in his house.

I dedicate this to my beloved friend Lydia that will soon be wed this Saturday .... Sooo glad it was u that go down the aisle & for that I won the bet .... Hohoho....

Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be the shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold,

For each of you will be warmth to the other.

For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies,

But there is only 1 life before you.

To enter into days of your togetherness.

And long upon the Earth .......................

STOP Bangauing ....

Last Saturday (22 Nov 2008), Me, Fiona, BB and Patte attended the “Entering Corporate World Seminar" ..... It was held in 1B Ballroom & I must say it was truly a free seminar that all young women of Malaysia shud attend... Beneficial and interesting. Still, in every seminar, there are always a few slots that is worthy of calling BORING.... I only interested on 2 of the slots there....


Btw, the first speaker was totally boring and I was bored all the way. Well, he was talking for only 20 minutes but it felt like an hour long... I mean he is a lecturer from a highly respective institution, yet his talk seem fell FLAT!! I mean his point was like something that students can also put up or something that he pulled out of the internet. I mean he was supposed to talk about "Global Minds Global Reach" , but I didn't get his points... I'm soreeee but that was the painful truth..!!! I guess him being a "bidan terjun" had to do with his boring talk... The only thing that wows me over his talks was his use of English words (powerful yet slightly far off)!! I do hope as he progresses in this field, he will gain more experience and improve for the benefit of all his listeners.


As for the 2nd speaker, she was ok for uplifting our spirit & I must say I did enjoyed her talk.... She shared a lot of her past experiences which I found interesting, humorous and fun as well useful.... It was the reality of entering the corporate life... She totally open my mind about the "Glass Ceiling" and I guess we are all living in an unfair world... To all the ladies, heads up and be smart!!! I love her quote ~~"Work smart will help u go up" ~~ "Don't go to the boardroom through the bedroom"~~ "Plan ur money"~~

The 3rd speaker was definitely open my mind and she was good... I was motivated by her talk and 20 minutes seems too short for her slots ... She do know what she's talking about. For me she was the 'Surprise' of the day… I’m soreee, but she looks like a granny… & I didn’t expect anything that interesting from her…. But then, surprisingly….. Oh yeah, I was looking straight to her with awe and astonishment. Her points were clear and concise, really straight to the point. I was listening all the way and taking notes… That much useful information really worth listening and worth taking notes….!! In a way I felt motivated by her word of wisdom “You holds the destiny in ur hand”… Hohoho… True 2 that!!! As for her summary….Gosh, I wish I did write it down…It was inspirational.


Then, when its time for Q&A Session, I did ask 1 question to Ms Liyo Wei … (I 4got the exact question I ask her)… Anyway, I surprise myself as well, I didn’t even stutter and there’s no ‘ummm’ , ‘aaa’ moment… ahahaha… Funny eeh….!! Still, I am happy to say I was the first 2 asked a question in a room full with people plus I even got a gift (‘Talian Nur’s Mug’) for it… Serious…!!


The 4th speaker was again boring for the fact of it was already lunch time and people like me decided to listen to our hungry tummy instead of his talk… Soreee but the hunger seems to consume us more than him… Plus, there were too many slides with too many words … I mean enough already… I know it was supposed to be beneficial, but then do aware that we are also human, the slides were too much to handle…….!!! Plus he has this habits that he keep on repeating throughout the talks somewhat annoying as disgusting to some of us… ~~Need no elaboration for that~~!!!

The last speaker was better and it did put us in a mood after our lunch… It manages to save us from sliding farther to Boredom Ville…. I can only say I enjoyed his talk very much; there is not even a slot that bore me…. I even hold my pee the entire time so that I didn’t miss anything…silly but worth it!!! At the same time, the information, examples and tips he provided was quite interesting, useful and fun for all of us… We were laughing all the way and yes I did gained a lot from the speaker – Mr Rizal. We didn’t even notice that it was the end until we were told that’s the end and thank Q for coming by the MC. Hahaha… What a day … Another Saturday that didn’t go to waste.

Hmmm ...Leaving behind bag of memories...

HOME SWEET HOME


I will like 2 do this post as a tribute 2 my "ugly & UGLY hostel" that I called my home 4 over 3 years as I studied in UNITAR.... Well.... the hostel seems scareee & so not the welcoming type of house u wud live in... But then, believe it or not I learn 2 love the people in this house... The house might seems ugly.. But the occupants truly have a lovely hearts... & I will surely miss all of 'em..... I heart 236 Tmn Yun Kiong .....Hahaha

Leaving UNITAR - Part 2


HALOO

Finally I can officially say that I am a graduate… Funny …so funny I think as I can’t believe that I finally finished my 3 & half year pursuing my Bachelor… I mean OMG….. Hahaha… In away I do feel grown up and somehow my back do hurt 2 think bout the responsible that I will soon undertake….


The pressure of getting a job seem 2 scare me, I mean what if I can’t get a job, not every school dying to offer job 4 UNITAR’s graduates, most school prefer to take graduates from the local universities and “maktab” … That sux!!! Jz thinking bout it now even scare me more… Btw, according to my lecturer NONE of my senior has been call for interview to enter government!!! Sedih ni!! I do feel my future is fading away….so blur la at this moment!! I do think we graduates of Bachelor of Education from UNITAR deserve the same opportunities of graduates of Bachelor of Education from other local universities. I mean we are all equal in a sense that we also have the quality and capabilities to teach and probably we are lacking in some areas, still being fair is what I ask from the “government system”. Give and pick us for the opportunities to go 4 interview and surely we won’t disappoint!!! Graduates of Bachelor of Education from UNITAR posses the same qualities, we are quick to learn, easily adapt to the situation, creative and yess….highly communicative!! But then, life is SOOOO unfair right!!! Last time, everyone including me study hard to enter local universities, when I failed to do so, it broke my heart!!! I feel like such a failure!!! Then, as I enter UNITAR, I learn to believe in myself once more, it as if someone offer me the opportunities to make a difference educationally in myself. 3 and half year I’ve been studying hard to get the best CGPA and to be turn down just because the “system” only value graduates of teachers from local universities and Maktab, I just wanna SCREAM out loud!!!!!! Equally we are all the same, so why isn’t U giving me the opportunities….. All I need is the chance and the equal opportunities to be pick to undergo the interview……. I guess in today’s world Equity Theory might not apply to every system…. Surely I won’t let this matter serve as a hindrance in my quest to pursue my dream as a teacher…. I can always try 4 Private right…


Now, I believe is the RIGHT time to activate my “nerd and serious” self…. Hahaha… I am turning more like an adult pl. Is this what an adult feel, pressure to perform, pressure of responsibilities, stress and a whole lot more ……..Wawawawa… Adult world is sooooo complicated in so many ways…. !!! Duh, how stupid of me to think life is easy … I guess I can say “Life is more than meets the eyes” .. Hahaha!! I guess I have no other choices but to participate actively in the “adult-oriented world”… Rasa mcm budak2 bru belajar pla!!! Oh well, life is what you make of it, and I intend to make the best out of it….!!!


PS: Internally and externally I do believe I have my own locus control of controlling life!! → POM sungguh!!
