OUR SCHOOL RALLY


Thursday, May 15, 2008

Selamat Hari Guru


Tomorrow 16th May is the day for the teachers. The most respected and noble job. In those days parents will let the teachers do whatever they want whether to scold, to slap or anything as long as their children become a a better man.

Time changes. The teachers are not immune. They are subject to civil suits if they do anything which can hurt the students. Even a minor hurt which actually to make the student "jadi pandai" the parents are reluctant to compromise. Too much love to their children until there are no more respect to the teachers.

Most of us forget that the teachers are the one who make us what we are today. Yes, the parents too. But it is not easy to make someone understand a knowledge. From zero to something in the brain. They have to sacrifice a lot. Sometime on Saturday where their time is for the family, they have to attend the school. Apart from teaching, they also have to share the burden of administrative works. Could you imagine the load of works that they have to carry.

But the students do not appreciate it. We take things for granted. We always waiting for the the last ringing of the bell. We only want a good results for SPM and leave the school immediately for the new journey of uncertain world.

Why the old boys wherever they go they always remember their alma mater or their school and their teachers. And why we remember our school friends rather than we remember our college mates or office mates? We have to answer it by ourselves. The answer that we share is a common answer.

Thank you for your effort in giving us "ilmu". Maybe our teachers are no longer in the school but a footstep of a teacher in SMI will be remained until the end of time.

And to the current teachers of SMI keep up your noble work and give our brothers in school a wonderful future.

It's heartening to see old boys who are still imbued strongly in the Michaelian spirit, linking the present and the old together. Come over and let us know who all of you are. Be glad to take you on a walk down memory lane.
Plenty of changes have taken place and you will be glad to know that all of you have contributed to make that difference.
