Teacher!!!!!!!

     In my life, I had met a lot of teacher. Some of them just teach us on text book, seldom talk with us and care about nothing of us. Some of the teacher only care about marks, they took special care to the one who always score high marks. I hate those teacher because I always not the one who they really care. They even only know the few person who they love the most after teaching us for a year.But some of them were caring person and teach us like their own child.
     I have met a teacher who really care about us and love us like her own child. She walk into my life when I was in primary four. She always told us that we are her child and she was the big mother of us. She never get angry with us but will advise us if we made mistake. She hope we learnt well and be happy always.
     She was about 40 years old when she taught me. She has a long hair and she always put her hair behind her shoulder. She taught us a lot of subjek such as mathematik, english, muxic and other else. This is because in primary school, our formed teacher will be teaching almost all the subjek.
     The most important memory about her is when thechildren's day. She had rented a bus and brought us to Sultan Bandar. We had a picnic there and some of my friends who parents are very wealth had ordered Macdonald for all of us to eat. I felt happy because we were different from other class who need to stay in class.
     This teacher also brought us to the graveyard which just beside our school. We walk out our school when other is studying in the classroom. We felt so excited!! The main reason we go there is to catch spider. This is because the teacher say she like to catch spider when she was young but we all never try it before. So, the theacher suggested us to go to the graveyard for spider!!
     One evening when I was chating with my friends, someone told me that the theacher had a operation before so she couldn't give birth any more. That's why she love us very much. I felt very pityful for her when I heard this.
      She is the teacher I love the most and had a deep memory of her. That is very sad as after few years she had died of desease. I will always remember this teacher.
