This post is dedicated to my greatest inspiration,Mrs Siew




Dreaded the days
When you first taught us science
I forgot to bring my workbook
And got a slam near my eye.
I cowered in fear,
Averted your gaze,
Loathed your voice
And hated your lips.
Gazing in your bulging eyes,
gave me the creeps,
I pictured you as a red and blue monster
ready to devour me.
Everyday i trudged to school
fearing the science periods
praying for mercy
when i forgot to do homework.
I felt that life was a torment
A hell to all humans
Under the tyranny on one teacher,
MrsLynn Siew.
As i progressed to primary 4
I was aghast to have you as my teacher
Not only my teacher,
BUT MY FORM TEACHER!!.
I felt like fainting then,
imagining the worst,
but i realised that you were not as fierce
but in fact,quite reasonable.
You gave me chances when i forgot to do my work,
did not scold me at all,
even made me a monitress,
when i did not expect it to be at all.
Did not make my life a living hell,
but made it better instead.
Cared for every student
Even those who you hate.
When i grew a year older,
which means i was p5,
I still did not respect you
as much as now.
Not after one incident,
that turned out to ba a blessing.
It was the vulgar word case,
that made me lose your trust.
However,that made me respect you further,
and tried to gain back your trust.
I am now proud to say,
that i have sucessfully did that.
You cultivated my writing skills,
and made my english shoot up,
was concerned bout my maths
afraid that history would repeat.
To your relief,it did not,
but to another person,
Whose name was Kai Yan.
The moment i learnt that you were pregnant,
I was shock,
though happy for you,
but sad for myself.
That you would not be able to teach me,
through the years along.
Nurtured me to be a good person,
inspired me to change for the better,
to me you are not longer a teacher,
but a friend who i can trust.
A friend who stood by me all these years,
regardless of it all,
Elated to say that you no longer instill fear into me,
but instead,an unbreakable bond.
I miss you dearly now,
through this long break of holidays,
but i will still remember the times we shared
a teacher and a friend.
