Ucapan Penghargaan dari pelajar BBMP 1103

Posted by AZFAZEIDA BINTI ARSHAD. Nov 25, 2008

Renungan yang mendalam ... Jessica dan Azie (kanan).

Salam Sejahtera Dr. Richard dan rakan-rakan sekalian.

Di kesempatan ini saya ingin meluahkan rasa bertuah saya kerana berada di OUM Perak. Apatah lagi dalam kelas yang diketuai oleh seorang pakar matematik Dr. Richard yang pada anggapan saya bukan hanya sekadar seorang pendidik tapi juga sebagai seorang kawan yang sentiasa memberi rangsangan untuk kejayaan kita semua. Beliau yang juga seorang pakar psikologi di mata saya mampu serta mengetahui kemampuan diri kita dalam menerima pelajaran, justeru itulah beliau dengan segala usaha dan keringat yang ada mencurahkan ilmu dan bakti kepada kita semua. Syabas Dr. Adakalanya rasa bimbang menyelubungi diri...risau jika gagal menepati janji tapi demi membalas segala jasa yg telah diberi maka saya nekad untuk lebih bekerjakeras. Bagi diri saya yang tidak seberapa ini... sesungguhnya segala penat lelah Dr tidak dapat dibalas dengan sekadar ucapan terima kasih...(malah saya rasa Dr. dah kaya dengan 'kasih' kita yg diterima dalam posting forum...betul tak Dr?) Tiada salahnya kita menceriakan Dr dengan berusaha untuk mendapat keputusan yang terbaik untuk matapelajaran ini... Bayangkanlah rakan-rakan semua...jika kita gembira dengan result kita nanti...maka akan berganda lagilah kegembiraan Dr dan akan terbayar segala yang telah dikorbankan oleh Dr utk kita semua.... Ayuh..rakan-rakan ku.... pastikan 'Kejayaan' milik kita semua.

Semoga Berjaya.
Azie

Wow ! I have never seen any teacher or tutor who takes the trouble to go through our answers regarding any subject. A tutor who wants to know whether we are on the track, our aim and our goals for a particular subject. Will do my best.

Hats off to you Sir !

Sememangnya betul cakap Azie, Jess dan Swee Peng. Saya pun rasa terharu dengan pencapaian saya setakat ini, apatah lagi dengan bimbingan Mahaguru Matematik Dr Richard dan juga motivasi serta bantuan yang diberikan oleh rakan-rakan.

Nak score A memang dalam ingatan dan sedang berusaha ke arah itu - sekiranya saya dapat mencapainya, ia akan mengatasi segala kesilapan yang saya telah buat dalam zaman persekolahan.

Kepada kawan-kawan yang jarang respon, saya tau mereka sedang berusaha untuk mencapai markah yang terbaik - "all the best to you".

Kepada Dr - jasa tuan akan sentiasa dikenang dan dijadikan sebagai amalan untuk membantu rakan-rakan lain yang bakal mengambil subjek ini.

Take care

Dear Dr,

First and foremost my appology for not being so active in LMS for the past two weeks. Actually i have slow down in participating and in fact have put more efforts towards Microeconomics which is really giving me a big fear now.

Honestly sir, the last whole week did not do much for Maths , it is not being over confident but somehow I know that I will get through the paper but matter of A or B. With so much support from you , I trully believe we can do it but with a condition - endlesss practice from us.

I will have to back up from this week onwards and start doing all the exercises before it is too late. I am so impressed with your effort in reminding us continuously and keeping track of our revision plan. You are really too caring sir and i don't know what else to say other than THANK YOU million times.
