Assalamualaikum,
remember when they say that "cikgu tak boleh berat sebelah..." ?
well, I failed. I admit, I have a few favourite students where I put my deep interest into them. I started to get to know them, feel their need and interest and I finally put my 100% trust into them.
Idrus. A boy from my practical school. Now studying form 5 in SMK Aminuddin Baki. The first time he started to amazed me was when I did a game of water rocket with the students. Even though his rocket was the lousiest, but the way he thinks was the best. And in the end, he won 1st prize with no fancy decoration of his rocket...
then, about a parachute design to save an egg from a 3rd floor. By looking a the a few pictures of military parachute, he design a whole new look of a parachute. superb~~
then, the program "Physics is Fun". Again, he amazed me. I gave one of the most impossible task, but he did create something out of nothing. That was the moment that I realized, he is really something. The world need to see his mind. People will get amazed. I have a deep believed in him. So, I try to sign him up for National Water Rocket competition. I really want the world to see him... but, I was only a practical teacher. And world always been cruel to others.... =(
I guess my intention was pure. A few months after that, I was already working permanently at SSI, he contacted me again. There was a small competition organized by UTM and he's entering. And I was assigned to send SSI students to the same competition too... But, my intention was to make the world noticing his talent. So, we met and I gave him the brief idea about Deep Water Floating. This competition was about designing an oil station which will float on the deep water without any support from the solid ground. We only met for 2 days. He also knew I was trapped between him and my own SSI students.
During the competition was the best moment ever. He had to fight against Form 6 students and Maticulation students. At first, I could see his eyes wondering nervously. I mean, he was just a Form 5 students from a very normal school. But yet, I was smiling broadly. My wish has been fulfilled. He amazed the whole audience, including pengarah MMSE, Malaysian Marine Southern Engineering and the vice-chancelor of UTM. His design was amazing. His idea was brilliant. He won the 2nd place because of his lousy english presentation (I was expecting this =.=" ) but he won the best design. If only you could see the brilliant of his design.....
And here I am, helping him to apply for scholarship after his quite lousy result for trial spm =.=" .... I am really hoping he could get a scholarship into any mech or civil engineering. I had a deep interest in him and I am still do. I really want to see him with success. He has such a great talent not to be wasted. And I also believe that Allah will always sees him as how I'm seeing him =D
