Teacher Lee

by June Lau Chan

      When I was a primary school student in Hong Kong, I never knew how to study or how to do my homework, so my grades were low and I was always the last one in my classes. But when I entered middle school, I got lucky; I had a wonderful teacher named Min Ching Lee. Teacher Lee had a heart of gold and she influenced my life in the most positive ways. Being in her class was a turning point for me. 

      Teacher Lee arranged her schedule to give extra help to her students --including me--outside the regular class time. She taught us how to solve problems in mathematics and English grammar. She made me understand that learning is not a one or two day event. It is a long-term process. We need to keep on studying to really learn a subject. Teacher Lee tried many different ways to teach us how to achieve our goals. For example, when we study, she told us to offer to work with other classmates who need help. That would give us a chance to review the course and at the same time, gain friendships and learn how to get along with other people.

      My teacher enlightened me and opened my mind. She always encouraged me never give up. Teacher Lee helped us for many years. During the time she taught me, day by day; little by little. I grew to be a confident student.

      I have followed Teacher Lee’s advice in my studies and in my life - I never give up. I have been always grateful to her for changing my life.
