the true teacher

this afternoon. tata, merlyn, tasha, tini, and i went to mr. george's room. i knocked on his door, "excuse me, sir. can we take a picture with u?" he smiled and let us to come in. we took two pictures.

it was the one last chance for us to meet mr. George. he's gonna move to Kuwait on 28th of february for some reasons, meanwhile we will have been in Bali on 23rd till 1st of march. so, it will be impossible for us to meet him again.

i do really love him. he teaches us well, not just about the lessons, but also how to behave in our life, how to see life's going, and lots more. he became a friend of me giving me advices for being better.

i remember him talking with me for about 50minutes in the 10th grade. it actually for my make-up test. but then he asked me some questions which were out of box and we talked for a lot of things. . in the end of our conversation he asked, "what score do you want?" i was like: what?! i haven't even explained him anything! then he said,"look how long you have talked. much much more than your friends who talked for just 3 minutes." i didn't know what score that i wanted. so, he gave me 80 - the neutral one. it is the first time for me to realize how great he is

it really shocked me and made me sad to know that we won't be taught by him anymore and, the worse, the possibility that i won't have any chance to meet him again.

for me, he is the true teacher. and i don't want to regret for not saving my memories in a picture for the second time. i had actually had the true teacher, in the 9th grade. she was ms. Rita. but, after the graduation, i was forgotton to take a picture with her. and, a few months later, she moved to Canada, and i lose contact.

i read the book "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom. i learned a lot of things from that book. and one of them is: if you have found your true teacher, don't lose contact with him. so, i don't want to lose contact with mr. George.

after taking 2 picture with him, we went back to our class. before closing the door, i bowed and said, "thank you for the years, sir!"

well, THANK YOU FOR THE YEARS MR. GEORGE. i hope i would be able to meet you again :)
