For the past two weeks, I have been going around various schools to observe how the Program Transisi Guru Penyayang were being carried out. This experience has given me quite a deep insight of what is underneath our very naked eyes are seeing. The faces of innocence that stare back at you in wonder and full of expectation of what is to come, of what can be learned, of what should be understood - could easily boggle your mind.
These children of the future, the carriers of our hopes, our dependence of the unknown, are such a wonderful joy to discover, learn, know and above all, love. So much that we know, so much that they do not. So much that we could give, so much that they want to absorb. We are not here to teach them from the heart, but teachers, we should teach them through the heart. Such innocence. Such purity. To think that their best interest is in our hands, and knowing that as teachers, we are so very involved in making sure they get the best of education, could really be a scare to any mortal.
I am very proud to say that there are many of us teachers of Year One, who whole-heartedly are guiding these lovely creatures of the earth, unconditionally, oblivious to tiredness or time. Though these children could really be a handful, and most times, testing our patience to the limit, it is with pure joy to be able to witness the efforts of the teachers of Labuan. I could not be prouder.
Hooray for Year-One Labuan teachers.
