Wow, I found my senior high school photo of my Business Teacher and me, Ms. Lu, back in 2005. She shaped me into the person I am today. She was so hard on me, and I didn't get it at the time.
I remember the time she gave me an after-school detention for scoring an 85 on my Accounting test. The rule for this exam was that if you scored below 70, you would receive detention. As no surprise, the 8 Asian students in our class scored 105, and I was the only student who scored in the 80s. The rest of the class failed, and yet she still handed me a detention.
I thought she was picking on me. I was furious, and she pulled me aside. Then she told me why she made this decision.
Ms. Lu: You're so smart and yet so lazy. You do the bare minimum to get by. The look on your face after receiving that 85, you settled for that score, knowing you have the potential to aim much higher. You are an "A" student, nothing less. There's hope for you, and I don't want you going through life doing the bare minimum and settling for it.
She told me that I can score a 105 and I didn't believe her. I didn't believe I was as smart as those Asian students in my class. But she told me I am just as smart as them if I stop being lazy.
Boy, that put flame under my ass, because the next Exam I scored a 110, 5 points higher than the smartest Asian Girl in the class at the time. She was pissed and in disbelief that I had a higher score than her. The class was generally surprised that I pulled it off. Since then, I was an "A" student in her class. I even surprised myself, and I thank Ms. Lu for that.
I miss my teacher. I wonder how life is going for her right now?
