After a most challenging day today.....extra classes prior to SPM...that evening i went out for dinner with my husband.As we were waiting for our dishes,he saw my phone wallpaper and began asking me what tree it was."The Chinese bamboo " ..i replied.Puzzled,, he asked me why this was my wallpaper. Sudddenly i felt a rush of adrenaline and reeling with charged energy I related to him about the tree and its significance in my life....
A few years back,i started teaching add math and the percentage passes were bitterly low..So like a chinese bamboo seed,I made sure that the students were nurtured and given the maximum amount of guidance and encouragement..of course it was heart wrenching to see the result after a year...no success yet..just like the CB seed...yet i knew that i couldn't give up on them...so i toiled and grudgingly moved on....till after the third year the result suddenly shot to a WHOPPING 20% INCREASE!!! Wow!! just like the CB seed,,albeit a difference of two years faster ....
But of course the spurt of growth is not easy to maintain ....like the roots of the CB which takes five years to prepare its transformation, I too need to start extra classes as early as during the final school holiday and push on every weekend till the end of the following year ...
And of course the reward of the silent effort .....comes in March when the SPM results are announced..but this year i feel a weakened root....but maybe a miracle might await ....so the story ended with our dinner arriving just in the nick of time ..
