In my own imagination 8:44 PM.
To My Dear Mrs Graetz:
Mrs Graetz has been teaching me Biology for the past 2 years. From the first lesson, i could tell that she's somebody who has deep knowledge and think, do things in depth.
Over the past two years, she never fail to impress me with her wide scope of knowledge ranging from Biology, human anatomy to factors relavant to life. A respectable point about her is that she doesn't keep any knowledge for herself, and share what she knows to her students in order to really teach and make sure everyone learns.
However, it is very unfair to her that most of the Bio students in my class discriminates her just because of minor issues, and some misunderstandings. This shows how shallow some of them are, to actually capitulate to their ego, and see things only from their point of view. They've failed to take a step back and be judgemental without prejudices. However, the irony of the whole situation lies with the magnamity of Mrs Graetz being forgiving by not being biased to the students. This can be seen whenever she gives us her "self-grown" bananas; which were distributed among us fairly, without any tinge of unfairness.
Today, i sat for the GCE O lvl Science Biology paper. A catastrophe struck me real hard. Over the past 2 years, i've been doing questions which ask you in-depth knowledge and applications. But what came out was questions which are simply primitive and only test on basics. Whereby i made alot of careless mistakes.
I went to look for Mrs Graetz after my exams. She had smiles all over her face when most of the 5Ns found it easy. I told her how i honestly felt about it. But she wasn't at all disappointed. Words of encouragement poured out to console me. I feel really very touched by what she has done, her teachings, her compassion.
She's linked me and made me appreciate the wonders of nature.
She's the FIRST school teacher to make me feel this way, and i really want to say that she IS a successful teacher who has made an impact in my life.
Join ME in my imagination. |
