You should know one thing.
I don’t really comfortable exposing myself as a
teacher. Tak tahu kenapa but it just happens to be that way. I don’t commercialize
myself that way. Some people, they would write on their profile like ‘teacher-to-be
or dedicated English teacher or even their username is cikgu. Kalau keluar pegi
mana-mana, I would try my best to hide the appearance as an educator but again,
they would just recognise it, really. Kadang-kadang when I go to pasar malam,
the seller would be like ‘nak beli apa cikgu?’ and I looked at them with a
stupid surprise face. Last time, I stopped by at nasi kukus. When I stood
there, the guy was just ‘ye..nak ayam yg mana cikgu?’ and again, with a stupid
surprise face, I looked at him. Sampai sekarang aku dah segan nk singgah kedai
nasi kukus tu. It’s not that I’m not proud to be a teacher but, kadang-kadang
masih lagi rasa tak layak to hold that title. Nak nak lagi bila baru masuk
second year and there’s still a lotttt of things to be sharpen. My pedagogy
especially.
Because I believe, if you wanted people to call you
with a certain title, you have to earn it. and aku tak rasa yg aku layak
dipanggil ‘cikgu’ FOR NOW.
