a wake up call!!!

last Monday morning i was supposed to meet a lecturer of mine to lend him some of my previews notes, well as i expected he'll only be available by noon time and luckily he messaged me few hour before to prepare the notes for him..hahahx..well, tick tok the clock struck 12pm & i received a call which sounded more likely like this~
he: "Susan,I'm waiting for you at the cafe,see you soon",,
me: "owh,okay..I'm on my way( when I'm not)hehe",,

i handed him the notes as i arrived & then i thought i was able to leave but to my surprise he insisted me to wait a little longer as he started his small talk then to very serious matters.. i realize i was talking to my lecturer for more than an hour already and nothing that he have said was wrong or didn't make sense to me.. he told me of what he had in his mind for his students and some advises for me.. but the most important part before he left he gave me a take home message to think & reflect to..

he: Susan, let me give you one exclusive message just for you, you have a very big potential in this field and also as a person, i can tell you this that i won't be surprise to see you holding any big position one day & i can guarantee you that what i say is true as long as you brush up your potentials and remain focus..
me: uhmm,i doubt that..
he: your my student & i know how far you can go as long as you work extra hard.. go back & think of this..

i went back & really did reflect on this.. whatever he said was a wake up call for me!! i realized the chance & opportunity that i have & i should really prove myself that I'm worth better than just this.. i was surprise that my lecturer could come up to me & tell me about my worth, my potentials, my ability & what the future offers me..i wonder how many lecturers nowadays do really sit down & spend some time for their students?? well,he did more than an hour (as though i was sitting for a class) surprisingly, he even said that he will be recommending me to work in any institution as long as i prove my worth & he also said that i should be at the same level as him or better than him & he said that if you could go higher than me it will be much better.. i see a true teacher, a soul of a dedicated educator in him..& i wish to take note of all that he said & not to waste any single minute of his advice on me.,

last but not least, i realized if I'm good i should always give credits to my teachers for making me what I'm worth of..& when i become an educator myself one day i wish my students will also have the same thought!! now i really understand why teacher are called noble profession when you don't get high pay but you teach your student to gain profit from life,to produce a prime minister, a doctor, a good person, a skillful person & etc.. teachers always teach you how to fish & you'll know why when you catch a basket of them!!

p/s:it was a wake up call for the future!! thanks to you sir.. mjr, for the wake up call!!
