It happened 6 years ago, when I was in the 9th grade. It is
about my teacher suspection toward my drawing work. Drawing is never be my
skill, but I always try the best I can in every tasks my teachers gave.
It
started with my art teacher gave his students a task to draw whatever they
wanted. I put off this task for later, until I realized that 6 days had passed,
only one night left until the death line. I was burning candle from both ends
during the night to complete my drawing task for tomorrow morning. I drew a
simple picture, a fresh watermelon on the table and painted it with water
colour.
The
next day, I did not confident with my work. I thought it was unartistic and bad.
The teacher checked my work, he stared at my work for a long time. Suddenly, he
spoke that it was not me who made this picture, someone must have done it for
me. It could not be an art work of junior high school student because it was
too beautiful and difficul, even he cannot draw it. In the one side I proud of
myself but in the other I up set. I could not accept the fact that my teacher
saw my hard-working art as a cheating
work. Moreover he said it with absolute judgement and mocking expression. I
could see his eyes was burning a passion flame to embarass me.
He dared
me to prove that it was mine. The next week I draw and painted a picture using
my own finger in front of his eyes and my friend’s. He amazed and believed.
Without a single word, he left the class. He humiliated himself until had no
guts to say sorry for giving negative judgement without a prove.
I was
not intend to embarass him, but I wanted to make him realized that a teacher
should not underestimate their student just because he thought that a teacher
was more expert.
