I am fine today.
Before I went to UH to do my follow-up yesterday, I brought one of my nieces to Bahagian Pendidikan Guru (Teacher Education Unit) of Kementerian Pendidikan (Education Ministry) at Putrajaya. She applied for Kursus Perguruan Lepasan SPM (KPLSPM), a teacher training program for those with SPM qualification, but she was not selected for interview.
She applied to be trained under Chinese teacher category and based on her SPM result, she is more than qualified to be selected for interview. Unfortunately, she made a very serious mistake when applying for the program; she didn’t enter her SPM Chinese result which is crucial for the application to be a Chinese teacher. She got A2 for the Chinese subject. When applying for the program, she entered all subjects with A1 result; overlooking the fact that Chinese subject is the determining factor for the program she applied.
The officer said my niece is definitely qualified to be selected for interview, but due to the mistake that she made while applying for the course, she can’t do much now. She asked for a copy of my niece’s SPM result and said that she would call her should they decided to interview her after a meeting.
The best might not be the best if it does not fit the purpose. In this case, those subjects with better result than Chinese subject look better but do not fit the purpose, so they are actually not the best. In life, we tend to admire what other people possess; their spouse, children, cars, houses, achievements, wealth etc. We thought that how good if we also possess something like that, neglecting the fact that these things, though look better, might not fit us. Our life would be much happier if we appreciate what we possess - even though sometimes they do not look the best, but God knows that they fit us perfectly :-)
Let us pray that my niece will receive good news from Bahagian Pendidikan Guru soon.
See you next post :-)
