Thank me? no.. thank YOU..

I never get to write a lot about my Teaching Practice experience, will do that some time. This is something I want to just keep here in my blog, it is what my student wrote for me in his blog, I was extremely touched by what he said:

Sir Muaz:

I wanna thank you so much.. Honestly, I admire you so much, because out of all the English teacher i learned from, i'm proud to say i learned so much from you than the others..

You are the best so far.. I am so amazed by how you taught us, you're really a talented and a skillfull teacher.. You tried to find our mistakes and correct it with such skills.. and we learned from it.. Sorry to my English teachers in the past, but Muaz Al-Rashid is the most experienced.. hehe, No offence ..But i mean it sir, You are so fluent in the art of english.. For a Malay guy, you really are..

You are so passionate in teaching English, that passion, i admire it so much.. I know that meeting another English teacher like you again is impossible.. i feel like i'm the luckiest student right now.. Dont cry my sir, huhu.."if i wereto be a teacher, it will be because of 4b" this is what u said.. It got deep, i am so honoured and proud of myself, and also my other classmates.. What you said, it really means something..

And Im also amazed in what you have done, you were a fitness instructor, an RTB-ian, and well known.. I never expect this.. i'm suprised..

The first time you stepped into our class, my thoughts were "another boring teacher".. I take that back and sorry.. huhu.. Next time i wont judge a book by its cover.. there are so many things about you.. I thank you..haha.. If i ever see you again, i'll call you cikgu for the rest of my life.. You deserve the title of it.. That is the way i show you my respect for you.. It's by calling you cikgu.. okay sir! bye

I edited some bits to make it an easier read, but is about 99% his own words... and I can't believe it that a teacher could have such an impact towards his/her students.. that is what scares me about being a teacher... the responsibility that was behold upon them is just extremely difficult.

To all teachers out there (who take their work seriously), I don't know how you do it - I don't know where you could be able to garner the courage to face such responsibility every day and the energy to maintain such presence. I'm not sure if I have gathered such skills to go through that, 3 months was already amazingly difficult, I can't imagine what it would be to do that for the rest of my life.

note: I'm not sure why he said I am "the most experienced" though, considering that I have very little of it..
