A or F

To my dearest student,

I've once judge because of those letters and numbers found in my transcripts. They criticized me based on it. They make good criticisms and worst judgments but behind those, I never stop. It sharpened me to become who I am today.

Let me inform you that grades are just numbers or letters. Never stop dreaming if you failed a subject. It doesn’t define who you are or what characters you are engaged in. The more important factor is you had learned something during instruction. That’s the main goal of teaching and learning process, not that caste system or what we called ranking system. I once become so stupid to believe that being on top of that ranking system is a must. A's and 100' s do not guarantee success. It might be a tool but everything is still up to you. Sweetheart, just do your best and things will be fine!

It's not true that if you failed, you'll lose opportunities. Think my sweetheart, we can excel in our own ways and in our own ventures. All we need to do is to observe ourselves and see the things that we possess not the things we lack. Everyone is fair if we are keen on observing. What we have, others don’t have. It a vice-versa process.

Everybody is unique and shouldn't be measured by just letters or numbers. I'm just here waiting for you to approach me if you can't understand things. Let me guide you. Even you failed in your practice exams, I can still see how bright your future is. Don't lose hope in yourself. Don't be depressed, its just an exam! Keep working and creating your own path, my sweetheart.

Sincerely yours,
Teacher
