I was thinking about the past suddenly, reminiscing about my secondary school days and I suddenly feel I really miss it. My teachers and friends, though I hated the sight of some of them, I believe they are there for a reason. Of all incidences that happen during my 5 year tenure, one incident leaves a huge scar on my integrity which I hold so dear. The incident with Mrs Elaine Wong, is still one of my biggest regret in my 19 years of life. Up to this point of time, I still find no courage to tell her something so simple, yet necessary. I have been lying to myself all this years that I was right, and she was wrong. I stood my ground except that I really shouldn't. She scolded me in front of every student, She shivered from the scoldings she gave and I never gave a damn.
Did I mentioned that she was pregnant at that point of time? And I never really gave a damn about her health? She was shivering!
She was my form teacher in Secondary 3 and I dare say, she really is a good teacher. She never gave up on her students and always asking us to strive to be our best. When she did finally gave up, the student was me.
This post, I guess, is dedicated to her. Mrs Elaine Wong, a teacher, a mentor but never a friend. I wish I could delete "but never" and type "a friend" instead but I know, It will never be possible.
For this, I finally put down my pride. Mrs Elaine Wong
, I'M SORRY. I was in the wrong and never dare admit it. I was a wimp. I ran away from it rather then facing it. You made the right choice in giving up on this student. If our paths still cross one fateful day, I won't be the immature Gerald that you used to scold and hated. People deserved a second chance don't they? Though I know I don't deserved it from you.Quote of the day
" Always behave like a duck.-- Keep calm and un-ruffled on the surface and paddle like the devil underneath."
