Teacher as A profession

Assalamualaikum Semua

4th December 2010 - Sumtyms I forgot that being a teacher is sumthing dat I should b proud of. Ku pernah jd part time tuition tcer n even volunteered for teaching students in Yayasan school. But at dat moment, ku nda brapa minat kn teaching ani. I do like to teach! but... becoming a teacher is something that I prefer to stay out from.

Everytym urg tnya, "Nad, ko mau jd apa lps UBD?" n I would owez answer, "entah ah. p yg pastinya ku nda mau jd cigu.... Cigu kira my last resort lh". But today, if sumbody ask me this question again, I would give a different n totally opposite answer.

Anyway, today... Atiku terbuka utk mengmbil profession as a teacher. How did i change My mind? Mayb Allah membg ku petunjuk tadi melalui advice from a lecturer uhu...

Emma n I met Dr. Sannay Today. We asked for his permission to b our reference n he's fine with it. Happy brabis kmi huhu. D first tym kmi biasa bnr dgn lecturer lh. N den he shared his experience as a teacher. He gave a lot of advice, saying "If kmu jd cigu, jgn skali2 mengcondemn students even if durg samseng or nda brapa phm. Jgn d sumpah like "Bangang" or "Nda merati bh kmu ani" sal atu kira doa drpd cigu. Takut termakbul doa atu.... yg membg kesiannya student atu jua. Tym damit samseng n he wil grow up to become a samseng jua if u do that. Instead of menyumpah, doakn saja durg. Tni berusaha bersungguh2 utk membuatkn durg paham, n doakn saja agar durg dpt menerima pelajaran n ilmu yg kmu smpaikn. Manusia hnya mampu utk berusaha, tp Hidayah n kepahaman atu dtgnya dr Allah jua,"

He continued (after a lot of talks yg menyimpang :D), "Jd cigu ani byk pahalanya... If kmu ajar students kamu seikhlas2nya n berdoa spaya durg pandai. Kmu dpt pahala. N if durg pndai dah, pastu durg smpaikn ilmu atu utk kawannya kh or students nya kh, kmu dpt pahala lg. pastu if urg len yg kana ajar leh ur students atu mengajar another person, u will also get pahala. Ertinya pahala tu nda pndai putus2. Yth.. if kmu tjumpa students yg kurg phm kn ajaranmu, doakn saja spaya ya dpt paham nanti. Manatau, in 10 years or 5 years time, ada cigu lain mengajar iya n ya jd pandai bcos of dat teacher. In dat case, u wil still get pahala... for bersabar n mendoakn iya utk paham. Tau2 lh, doa ani ukannya slalu makbul slajur,"

Terharu ku mendgr his speech. Is this the way he thinks slama ani? Semakin betambah respectku rhnya ehe. Mayb ppl wil think of me as sum1 yg inda tetap pendirian, but... I think i'm not d only one yg dlm dilemma wen it comes to picking a permanent job. We all want a job that will make us happy n be content, spaya tni inda jd zombie! N now... I think being a teacher will make me happy :D. Hopefully dapat lh ehehe Amiinnnnn~~

Last tym, I thought being a teacher is not challenging enuff. I was wrong!! I can owez challenge myself by making me a better teacher n improve myself to b more knowledgeable in my subjects. Ilmu kompom bertukar mengikut Zaman, therefore we need to update ourselves (mcm anti-virus lh jugak).

N lastly, I think inda ramai urg realise ni... dat we r actually tcers in our life. I know dat at some point, ada yg mengajar urg memasak, or mengajar how to do addition, or mengajar how to use a program in the computer n so on. We just didn't realise dat at that moment we became a teacher secara tidak langsung. If tni dpt membuatkn urg atu paham, den dat would mean,.. tni dpt pahala!! N sumtyms, tni dpt doa dr students atu jua. Isn't dat marvellous!!!! Killing two birds with one stone!! (aha, nda ku tau apa g pepatah yg sesuai XD). One sentence yg slalu stick in my mind dr dulu, which is an advice from my mom is,

"jangan Karit ilmu! lau urg minta ajar, ajar semampumu"

Now, I understand Y. Have a nice day everyone~~~

p/s: after abis mengajar, bacalah istighfar slalu, takut kamu salah ajar. lapas tu, baca La haulah wala quwata illa billah hil aliilaziimm, "Tiada yg lebih kuat, melainkan Allah yg maha besar" (translated by my sisters, ehe)

A simple post for a thought

Assalamualaikum Semua~

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others"


Tak sabar nak menghotel esok huhu
