I couldn't really remember how was our first meeting like yet I could still picture clearly the day I had a mini interview with him in his office with another two girlfriends. we were thrown with so many questions, some of them related to teaching and education but many were random issues that asked us to think twice before answer. though it was terrifying to have a debate with HM yet it was a fun session. not many people could do so like us that time.
another thing I couldn't forget about him is when the tyre of kancil was punctured and we were late to school, that man even asked if he should come and get us from the hostel. yes, he was cool like that. being the one who shared timetable with him, we communicated and interacted a lot. he was also responsible to observe me during the 3 months practicum at the school and never failed to offer help when needed although being a busy figure in school. that man had taught me many things about school be it directly or indirectly. he had shown me the crucial first step of what it is like to be a teacher.
few days ago, that man I respect is no longer with us. it was shock to hear about the news but the way he passed away was beautiful, and I pray to Allah to reward him Jannah for every good deed he had done to others, insyaAllah. the man was the headmaster of the school I went to practicum in 2011, En. Rosli b. Abdul Wahid.
al fatihah.
