teacher ~

       Teacher just likes a candle, burning himself and light up other people.There are many teachers in our life, but they were only a life passer for us.
       I remember that last year my form teacher Ms Lim gives me a deep impression. She teaches me Chinese. She is old. I feel that she is a stubborn and nonsence people because she always talks rubbish and she doesn't like to hear our opinion. But she is quiet kind because she always ask us to do good things. She likes to tell us about Confucious story so her lesson also can't finish. She is an vegetarian. She also tells us not to kill animal that is alive. She is a funny teacher so i still can't forget her although she doesn't not teach me anymore.
