yet they taught me

merekalah punca sakit hati

tapi merekalah penghibur hati

mereka bukan keluarga

tapi dipanggil anak, anak murid ku

i often get angry and scold them

awak tak sayang cikgu ke?

knp awak tak buat keje

but deep down i wanted to say

awak buatlah keje ini

untuk masa depan awak

latihan utk awak berjaya

im here for a short period

but i want them to have a bright future

mereka hanya nakal, tapi masih berakal

mereka bukan biadap, tapi kurang fasih

mereka bukan kurang ajar, mereka boleh diajar

akhir kata, cikgu garang sebab sayang

cikgu tegur sebab perlu

spm ditangan mu

kami hanya pembimbing kejayaan

terima kasih amanah pertamaku

However, the biggest challenge I faced during my practicum was dealing with some parents. A few of them didn’t like it when teachers scolded their children for not completing their homework or assignments.

My greatest support throughout the practicum was my mother, who is also a teacher. I’ve seen firsthand what she goes through in her teaching career, and that gave me strength.

To my future self, if you ever find that you cannot become a teacher, then please become a lecturer.
