STUDENT RECORD #1
That day was the day when Blue Butterfly certainly understood about the satisfaction as an educator. So, Blue Butterfly was having a young student (9 years old) who was preparing for the Piano ABRSM Grade 1 exam. Her name is "Moshi Maru". She had learned piano under Ms. Blue Butterfly for about 1 year, before her parents finally decided to register their daughter for the exam. Honestly, it was a shock for Blue Butterfly as she knows well about the learning progression of "Moshi Maru".
"Moshi Maru" can be considered as a slow learner with good spirit. Also can be considered as a student with poor musical talent. She is weak in sense of rhythm and pulse, sense of body coordination, sense of musical flow, sense of aural skill, as well as sense of notes reading. At first, Blue Butterfly was trying to give up on "Moshi Maru", but suddenly she thought to herself " maybe this student is given by God to me, so that I can help her, not to abandon her ". Since that time, Blue Butterfly knows that her passion and hard work in guiding "Moshi Maru" will benefit her in the future. So, Blue Butterfly kept finding different ways of teaching in order to make the student understand.
After the hard work for 1 year, the exam day had finally come. It was not only a nervous day for "Moshi Maru", but it was also a nervous day for Blue Butterfly. But, in the middle of that tense moment, "Moshi Maru" suddenly says " Teacher, thank you. I even can't believe myself that I can play all of the exam pieces ". Blue Butterfly almost cried when she heard those sentences. Because of that moment, Blue Butterfly finally feels the genuine satisfaction as a teacher.
The satisfaction as a teacher does not lie on what results or achievements your student had obtained, but it lies on how much he/she had improved and feels motivated. Through this experience, Blue Butterfly believes that Passion, Encouragement and Creativity are the main requirements which every teacher should explore more. At the end of the story, "Moshi Maru" was certified with pass in her exam. WONDERFUL DAY...
