Journal Writing 3- VALERIE LOW :D

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY! ;DDDDDDD

-What are the qualities of a good teacher?

A Teacher Is…
Someone who is wise...
Who cares about the students and wears no disguise.
But is honest and open and shares from the heart.
Not just lessons from books, but life where you are.
A teacher takes time to help and tutor.
With English or math or on a computer.
It's Miss _____ who's patient, even in stress.
Who never gives less than the very best.
Not that I was the perfect student,
But you were the perfect teacher for me. ;)

- Tell me about your favourite teacher. He/She can be from your primary school or secondary school. Share about an incident which is particularly memorable to you. If you don't have a favourite teacher, share why is that so.

I have quite a number of favourite teachers. :P My favourite teachers are Mrs Ivy Lee, Ms Valencia Ang (Primary School) and from Dunearn 3 teachers. They are Miss Kelly Chia, Mr Alvin Ng and Miss Katie Goh. Miss Goh, don't you feel honoured? HAHAHA. :) Mrs Lee is a very nice teacher. She can be strict and scary (not really scary lah -.-) and she can be fun and nice. Actually i'm one of the students she dotes on. Hahaaha she's not biased though. I was very good in my work (english) in P6 and before PSLE came, she told us to try our very best. Yes, i did. However, i was not qualified to go to my dream school. She also told us that she would not be writing any appeal letters for any students at all. I told my mum that, yet she still asked me to persuade Mrs Lee to write an appeal letter for me. So i went to ask Mrs Lee, knowing that she wouldn't write it. To my surprise, she said that she will only write it for me but i wasn't allowed to tell anyone or else it would be useless. (She's not biased lah! is she?) yeah this my story. (like no point T,T)

OH YAH, i totally forgot about my teachers from Hong Kong! My form teacher in Hong Kong in Primary 4. She's very sweet and kind. The story goes like this:

I was going over to Singapore soon. I told my Hong Kong friends and teachers, i saw the look on their faces when i announced it. I didn't want to leave either. I love my friends, teachers and my family {father side} in Hong Kong but my mum wants me to leave HK for better education in Singapore. Well, i had no choice. The last day of school, i gave many of my friends farewell gifts. I couldn't believe my teacher organised a surprise farewell party just for me! I was so touched. The party was FUN! I cherished those last moments with my beloved friends and teachers. I went home with 2 BIG bags of presents 2 from my teacher and more than 10 from my friends. You people rock man! :)

For Dunearn teachers, i have to say that Ms Kelly Chia motivated me quite alot. She gave me the courage through Christ and she taught me alot of useful things. :) Mr Alvin Ng is the one who can always cheer me up although he doesn't really notice. For Miss Katie Goh hor, this one ah no hope. hahaha no lah. You're doing great okay. Much better than our previous English teacher. SHHHHHH! :X Thank you so much for spending so much time on me. :]

TEACHERS ROCK ON YEAH! ;D
