What's your legacy?

 " He commanded the historic landing of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century's scientific expeditions and becoming the first man to walk on the moon."

 

 "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

A quote to be remembered. A humble and dedicated aerospace engineer, Neil Armstrong will be remembered by generations to come. 

Recalled the 21days Cameron Camp back during Uni days, we were asked "what do you want to be remembered as after you return to Father?"

 3 years passed, still, I would like to be remembered as a teacher who has impacted the lives of my students. Though I do wish they will all miraculously passed their English exams with flying colours,  but I hope they would be a better man/woman, in terms of morality and attitude. I admire teachers who can motivate their kids by telling stories and giving examples, but when I am in front of the class, those ideas of motivating them were diminished when I failed to quiet them down. Hm... Talking about big dreams XD




School resumes today. Yesterday, I left Kuching with a heavy heart. Mom laughed and assured I'll be happy again once I reached Kapit. How true it is that mothers understand their child the most! On the way to market this morning, met a few familiar faces. My students smiled and I greeted them Good morning first. The Iban boys smiled back and wished Good morning too. Jarrod, practicing the Tip you gave to new teachers: greeting others first, with a smile. It works :)
