hello blog!

It has been some time since i last wrote in here. Been quite busy with everything. First, kak fathy resigned and all fet unikl students become my students. So, all 126 of them with different characters. For the record, 126 lower forms students are not the same as 126 almost-adults students. For the kids (lower forms), you can treat them as a whole. But for teenagers (17-19 years old), you have to treat them as individuals. I need to give attention to each of them. It's not that i don't do the same for the kids ( i prefer to call them kids although there are actually aged 13-15), it's just... not the same. For example, the kids are easier to 'tame' and train. You can scold them and they know that they have to take it. But these teenagers, you can't just scold them cause they'll be angrier than you. Rebel. That's the word.

And last nite, two of my ex-students in Gerik called. I guess they really need to share this information with me as they called at 11.15 pm. They should be in their dorms at that time. They told me that many Class F (E-Buddies) students managed to get into Class E (which is better than Class F). Some of them are the leaders of their group members. When I first hear it, I felt nothing. But as i digested it today, i felt proud of themselves. Those kids, really, i hope they do well in PMR. I might be quite harsh on them, not letting to relax most of the time. Giving them all the exercises. But i guess that's what they need. Some one to push them over the limit. So, I express my greatest gratitude to Allah S.W.T for what He has given to me and my students. Alhamdulillah.
