“Jika hari ini seorang Perdana Menteri berkuasa
Jika hari ini seorang Raja menaiki takhta
Jika hari ini seorang Presiden sebuah negara
Jika hari ini seorang ulama yang mulia
Jika hari ini seorang peguam menang bicara
Jika hari ini seorang penulis terkemuka
Jika hari ini siapa sahaja menjadi dewasa;
Sejarahnya dimulakan oleh seorang guru biasa
Dengan lembut sabarnya mengajar tulis-baca.”
-quoted from Usman Awang's Guru oh Guru.
I don't usually feel much for teachers when out of school. Not that I am unappreciative after all those life lessons my teachers have taught me. (And wow, just done counting* I have spent my twenty years being a student!) It is just that I spend time missing my family, friends but never my teacher. But after having one dear roommate who is now a living teacher and following Suet Li's blog, I start to fit myself in a teacher's shoe. My current roommate has both mum and sister as teachers, so do owl owl. All teachers educate, but only the very few inspire. And I'm sure Suet Li is one of those. Thank you, dear teachers.
