These kids are from the most challenging class and are notorious in school. Today I was in their class and spoke to some of them. I asked who their favourite teacher is, and they immediately said Cikgu D. They said he is the only one who cares, despite them always being the bad apples in school.<\/p>\n<p>One boy (whose home Cikgu D visited) told me very sincerely that he wants to change, and requested for our help. He said he\u2019s been searching for help but just didn\u2019t know how since he has gone 10 years without studying AT ALL. He said nobody would go the extra mile to teach someone who\u2019s a failure like him.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I\u2019m inspired. Inspired by Cikgu D\u2019s sincerity, inspired by this boy\u2019s willingness to change for the better.
