I just received a phone call saying that our primary 6 science teacher, Mdm Sheila Chung, who replaced cikgu lai, had recently passed away. When i got the news, words could not describe how i felt. I was filled with remorse. After primary 6, I no longer kept in touch with her. But news went around saying that she had lost a lot of weight. People teased her about it, but soon enough we found out that she had cancer and it was pretty bad.
Honestly speaking, i think i've learned a lot from her, not only as a student, but also as an individual. When she first came to Lodge, we rebelled against her, answered her back and i dont think i need to go on. But even that didnt stop her from caring about us, reaching out to us, helping us so that we would succeed in getting straight A's for UPSR. And for that, i am deeply grateful. I was even amazed that she could tolerate us till the end and even helped planned out the year end party that was held that year. She struck me as someone who really deserved the title "Teacher". She earned it. I am thankful that she had been with us until the very end of primary 6. We're sorry for everything we did, we were immature, ungrateful students then, but that doesn't excuse us for doing what we did. But as the years passed, we reflected on our behaviour back in primary 6 and we were truly sorry. And our only regret is not having the chance to say what we wanted to say.
So i'm speaking on behalf of all her students in lodge, primary 6-2005, THANK YOU for what you have taught us and you have played a big role in our lives. You will always be in our hearts and will always be remembered. May you rest in peace. We love you.
