Teacher's day is coming yeah! Happy teacher's day in advance =D

Qualities of a good teacher:
-Must be caring
-Understanding and make people understand
-Not to differentiate students just because of class gaps
-Spend some quality time with the students, not just "STUDY STUDY STUDY!"
-Reasonable, as in not to give so much homework to us in a short amount of time, we are not robots
-Do not blame students, thus they won't blame you as well
-Smile!

My favourite teacher is Mrs Chua, a teacher who taught me in Primary 5. She's my favourite teacher because on the 13th of February 2004, I had a surgery. I had tumour cancer and it needed to be removed. It was not such a serious cancer and the removal was nothing much. After a night at the hospital, I stayed in my grandmother's house. While I was there, Mrs Chua came and brought some stuff. It was really nice of her to bring goodies for me. She even brought a stack full of Get Well cards from my classmates. They were so fun to read, I even kept it until now. I had MC for 2 weeks, when I came back to school, it was a day before CA1. Mrs Chua requested that I am excused for the exams. Because of her, I can rest for the whole exam period at home. My record showed VR, valid reason. After the exams period are over, I worked hard to buck up my studies. She helped me a lot, and I succeeded. I got highest for my Mathematics, it was a miracle. The whole year, my classmates and I could see how much she cared for her students, and how we were so fortunate to have such a teacher. She even broke down and cried in class because she wanted to tell the story of her ex-student getting in jail. I was moved by her compassion in being a teacher.

Wahhh so long XD lol I had to tell the whole story, or else everyone would be confused hehe.
