Everyone likes something precious. Everyone wants to keep something precious. Everyone wants to own something precious.

But... what happened to Precious in this movie???

Does anybody care about her?

Does anybody love her?

Does anybody appreciate her?

This is a very sad movie about a black girl being raped by her OWN father and been abused by her OWN mother. How did you feel if you are in this kind of situation? Will you still going to school like Precious did? Or you will hide in your dark room wishing for somebody out there offers you a help?

Precious did none of the above. Even though she faces all sorts of problem, and was pregnant, she still goes to school. She then was discovered by the school principal that she was pregnant again for the second time. She was sent to the alternative class where she was help by Ms Rain. This teacher cares very deeply about her and because of Ms Rain she started to believe in herself. Believing in ourselves is such an important in order to let all the best things happens to us. This is when Precious makes her life turn the other way round.

As a teacher, I think I need to be ready in case I have to deal with student like this. They need help and support and that is the first thing that we have to offer! Don’t discriminate. Students are innocent!!

to WRITE or NOT TO WRITE

Ahhh.. I seriously hate writing the most. This semester will surely killing me as I have to write two different papers. Position paper and the other one is research paper. I don’t have any idea what position paper is at first, but after listen to t friends’ explanation I slowly get the idea on how to write a position paper.

I have choose my story and also the topic but where to start? How to start?

Oh God! If, and only if I know how to play with words, I will be one happy girl in the world. Anyone out there want to help me with my position paper??? Feel free to do that okay~

Dear classmates, lets write!!

the portrayal of WOMEN in MLIE. . .

I always have problem when it comes to writing. I am not the kind of people who can easily write what comes into my mind. I am not a good writer but try my best to be one.

At first, I don’t have any idea what I’m going to write for my research paper. But after having a long thought about it, I decided to write on “the portrayal of WOMEN in MLIE”. I have decided to work on this topic for my research paper because for me, Malaysian text is easier to understand compared to others. Maybe this is because the social context is very near to us.

I don’t know how to work on this topic, but after talking to my seniors from FBMK, and after going to the main library, I finally know what aspect that I have to focus on in my writing. I just hope that I can finish writing it on time and makes some progression each and every day. Wish me luck for my research paper!

findingFORRESTER~~

I found out that Finding Forrester is quite a boring movie. Maybe it's because the pace of this movie is quite slow. It is very slow moving from one scene to another but after reading a short summary about the movie before this movie started i can grasp a little bit of idea what this movie is about.

Everyone think that Mr. Forrester, a writer has passed away. Nobody knows the fact that he is still alive. It has been discovered by a boy, JAMAL WALLACE who happened to go to his house not knowing who the owner is. Accidentally, Jamal leaves behind his backpack, full of his precious writings. Their relationship begins when Forrester read all those writings and corrected them. By the time Jamal go back to the house to pick up his bag, he discovered who Forrester is. They become a close friends and Jamal let Forrester become his mentor. They share lots of things about writing and this has makes Jamal become a successful students.

We can see how friendship knows no limit. You didn’t lose anything by making friends and try to accept others’ opinions. See how Jamal progress so well by accepting Forrester’s comments. Both of them develop such a wonderful relationship with benefits both parties!

YES! you can LEAN ON ME~

Lean on me is another story about a male teacher dealing with such stubborn and wild students. Mr.Joe Louis Clark has to bring back the reputation of Eastside High where all of the students acting like they had lost their sense of humanity. They act very wild and it seems that they are uncontrollable. But with the new principal, Mr. Joe Clerk, coming in to the school and reinforce strict discipline, the students finally become human!

Thanks to the principal who has a very creative way in dealing with the students. These kind of rebellious students just need to be dealt using discipline. It’s a wonder how discipline works well in an organisation. At some point, we may think that he is too much and very radical, but seriously, this is the only way to save Eastside High.

Although we may say that Mr Joe Clark is too much, but he still has some kind of consideration. It is just that the students and the teacher cannot see it lying secretly deep inside his heart. What is more important is to let discipline plays a major role in shaping students’ attitude in school!

A.K.E.E.L.A.H and the B.E.E~

Akeelah and the bee is not a story of a girl with her bee or whatsoever. The bee has nothing to do with the honey bee but it is actually the spelling bee.

It is a very inspirational movie about a girl who is very good with words. She can remember lots of words in the dictionary and can spell it correctly. She has a dream to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee even though her mom did not agree with it. She works her ass off in order to win. She read the dictionary every day, makes short notes and went for a special tutorial with Dr. Larabee. All the hard works she’s been putting in really worth it when she was announced as the winner.

Imagine a little girl with a big dream and determination, going through all sorts of torture and everything to finally stand as a winner. Can I be just like her? Can I have such determination that will drive me towards achieving my goal?

I know, it is all depends on me. The way I handle my problems and the efforts that I put in will be an important factor in order to see how far i can go. Let us be inspired by this little girl, AKEELAH!!

THE STORY OF r o n. C l e r k

I have watched this movie on Hallmark quite some time ago. I remembered this story as a very interesting one. So, when I know that we are going to watch it again in class, I was so excited.

This story shows us how a teacher tries his best in order to fit in to the students’ needs. For me, that is how a real teacher should be. We cannot just give up if we happened to teach problematic students. It is not their fault they behaving like that. May be there is something wrong at home or it is their parents. I know that if it was me replacing Ron Clerk, I will surely give up seeing how the kids acting so rude in my class. But hey!! Does the problem settled if you just give up? What will happen to the students?

From this movie, I can see how Ron Clerk tries all sorts of approaches in order to tackle his students. He wants them to have the interest towards learning and enjoy the learning process. It is not something simple. It might take all of our time but it worth a try. Once you get them listen to you, the learning process will be very smooth and easy. Students must have respects towards us as their teacher, so try harder to gain the respect.

How I hope I can be as excellent as Ron in order to bring out the best in my students. Students cannot be blame. We, as a teacher plays an important role to find ways to deal with them.
