This week's Student of the Week is Hieu T!
Hieu might have only been at our school for (less than!) two years, but what an impression he made on us all... and so quickly. I remember the very first class I had with him. He approached me after the lesson and (somewhat tentatively and very politely) asked: "Sir, will you be teaching this class all year?"
"Why yes" I responded, feeling good about myself. Obviously this youngster had enjoyed his first day in my class.
"Oh, too bad", Hieu continued, "you're a terrible teacher. Okay, bye..."
Hahaha. What a character. If you take Hieu too seriously, he's sure to drive you somewhat crazy. But, if you can learn to appreciate his warped sense of humour, he can really occur as a personable, intriguing, and intelligent person.
Another favourite story is when he interrupted a Science Department meeting (again, very early on during his time at KG) and asked: "Are you the entire Science department at this school?"
"Yes" was the answer (I believe 3 of the 4 teachers had never even seen Hieu before).
"Oh good. Then I can tell all of you at one time how much I hate Science.
Ah Hieu, you are a brave man. Be careful where and how you use that wit. And put that intelligence of yours to good use. I wish you all the best. Thanks for your kind words at the Grad Ceremony. That really meant a lot (and, undoubtedly, concerned a number of other teachers). Keep smiling, Sir!
