ANNECDOTE Pandro is the cleverest student in my class, but he likes to utter a dirty word when he feels
something is going wrong on him. I want my students to have both a good intelligence and
attitude. I told them that attitude is important in social relationship. They may lose the perfect
job due to the impropriate manner. Therefore, I remind him many times, but he is always able
to prove that he never utters such a word.
“Shit, you must give me the wrong information. Look! There is no schedule for our team.”
shouted Pandro to his friends when they were doing the task together. I heard it and reminded
him, “Pandro … your word.” He replied directly, “I said “sheet”, Mam, because I need the
worksheet. They gave me the wrong sheet.”
On another day, he looked annoyed to his friends again. “Shit, this one is mine.” I was
behind him and asked him, “The word again?” He smiled while ensuring me, “No, Mam. I said
“sit” because I want to sit here. This is my place.” I left him with a deep breath.
At the following day, I was talking to a student when seeing and hearing Pandro cussing his
friend, “Shit, you did it to me on purpose, didn’t you?” I tapped him on his shoulder, “I don’t
know how many times, I have heard the word. Beware with this bad habit.” With a serious
face, Pandro told me, “Swear, Mam! I just said “sheep”, because we are playing a game of
mentioning animals.”
One day, Pandro was joining the tests for getting a scholarship. He passed the first test, even
he was at the first rank. So, he came to the presentation session. This was his expertise. At the
first minutes, his speech could amaze the juries. But then again, he uttered the dirty word
because he lost the next slide that was the most important. The juries looked surprised at what
he said. On the other hand, he didn’t realize on saying it.
When the announcement came up at the following week, his name was not on the list. He
was rejected. I showed him a small piece of paper from one of the juries which was given after
he finished his presentation. “We regretted to disqualify him because of his bad manner.”
SPOOF I was so tired as I taught all day long. Even my class who was usually lazy doing tasks kept me
busy to explain from one group to others. Despite tiresome, I was glad to see their seriousness.
Was it because I advised them before I began the lesson? Maybe.
“Hey, you have been holding your glass for some minutes without drinking it. Day dreaming?”
my friend’s voice startled me. “Oh, yes. I am just tired and want to take a rest for a while.”
replied I while still holding the drink. “Ok, then. I am going home.” said my friend while leaving
me alone in the office. I was about to sip the tea when one of my students, Nita was running
toward me looking frightened and shouted, “Mam, Rocky is fainting, but there is some foamy
saliva on his mouth. “ I was shocked and put my glass on the table. While running to the class, I
asked her to take medical oil in the Health Care Unit. Coming into the class, I saw Rocky lying
on the floor with the pale face and closed eyes. A few friends were only watching and doing
nothing. I knelt beside him and cleaned the foamy saliva from his mouth with my handkerchief
calling his name. I touched his forehead, but the temperature seemed to be normal. I opened
the top button of his shirt and asked Nita to give me the medical oil. When I was about to rub
the oil to his chest, suddenly he held my hand firmly but still with the closed eyes. I jolted in a
5
big surprise. However, no one helped me. When I looked around, no one was there. Fear
entered to my brain and my body began to shiver. I tried to get rid of the thought of Rocky’s
being possessed since this class was known to keep many mysteries inside years ago. With my
left hand, I stroked his forehead while calling him, “Rocky, wake up please!” But again he
gripped it too. Now, I couldn’t move at all. I was panic as I knew there was no one I could ask for
a help. “God… help me. Rocky, please ….wake up!” Then, he suddenly got up and laughed
loudly while saying, “Happy birthday my beloved teacher.” At the same time, all members of
my class came into the class bringing a tart with the lighting candles. “OH…MY GOD …!!! IT’S
JUST AN ACTING.”
