My Teacher And Me: The Last Days of Ma'am Meryl on Earth

On my first year of teaching, it felt like a disaster to me. I didn't know why I was teaching that time. So, I quitted from teaching and studied more about my profession.

On my second year of teaching, I perfected my teaching skills and techniques and never quitted on my profession.

But one day changed my life.

It was 2005 when Sherry and I were riding a car and enjoying the music we were playing. Until a raging truck came to our sight and broke the car's back into pieces. Sherry took some severe injuries and I had minor ones, causing us to be in the hospital. While I took first-aid, the doctor said to me that Sherry was already in critical condition.

And the rest was history. While I took some of my medicine, I saw her die. I called Mother and said that she died already. Nothing happened then.

Until one day, I met a student.

I first met Annika on the way to school. She was my student, and I was her adviser. I eventually became happy when I looked at her very innocent eyes. She looks like my guardian angel, and she says that I look like an angel that came down from heaven. We both laughed.

After her lunch with her acquaintances Nina Regala and Molly Alison, she went to the faculty room. I was alone there, looking weary and regretted. She came near  me and said to me that why I was alone that time. I feel terrified, but I don't care for that. As long as I can share my secret with her.

And the rest was history.

On my last days on earth, I learned so much. I can't count them, but I learned so much from Annika. From the first day I met her until I die, I would bring along my memories with Annika. It doesn't matter if you're too old to have a friend, the matter is we will learn from our failures and take time to review it. Perfect it, and you will have a successful career.
