this phrase has been lingering in my head for quite sometime…who exactly are the best educators in the world? for some people, they might have favourite tutors/teachers that make learning a particular subject more interesting and fun. yet, there are some whom have done the exact opposite.
hello, i’m updating my blog again because…it deserves this post. and the content of this post has been triggered by a series of thought processes since my last post (HAHA, excuses.)
i find it strange that people hate the things they study, yet, upon graduation, they’d miss everything that they’ve come across during their course of study. for me, although i miss studying in secondary school, i do miss my teachers to a certain extent.
but personally, i think that my teachers aren’t the best educators. nope, it’s not google, yahoo or bing. instead, it’s my parents. and it’s funny how they are still able to educate me despite the lack of a “syllabus”.
all of us have a role model: someone that we all can look up to. i’ve someone to look up to; and they’re my parents. they’ve been working hard to bring back every dollar and cent to support my brothers and I. they’ll make sure that we have what we need. although my family isn’t as united as others, I feel that my parents are the perfect ones for me.
if you look up my achievement list (it’s not…fully updated), you might notice that i’ve a couple of achievements that are…well…I couldn’t have gotten it if my father didn’t say, “One day, I hope that I’ll be there to see you get it” or “Why not just try your luck? You’d never know”.
they’re definitely my source of inspiration. for some strange reason, I’d listen to them. I’d try my luck and somehow, 20-50% of the time, the results might be in my favour. if it isn’t…yes i’ll feel disappointed. but my parents would never fail to pick me up. their stories, though i know nothing much, is one that many would come to appreciate. what they’ve done for my family and i…it’s simply remarkable.
although there might be ugly times when I get scolded by them…it’s because of them that I’m able to keep quiet in class and listen to the teacher teach about the topic. that way, I’d be able to score and do well.
more often than not, we might misunderstand their intentions…but 90% of their times, we benefit from their actions. the fact that they bother to do something about us shows their care and concern for us and our future.
yes, if you’re a parent and you’re reading this: you’ve the most important job in the whole entire world: an educator to your children. perhaps one day, your child(ren) will be writing a blog post like this! 
oh how i miss california, »« just leave me alone.
:D
