Teach For Malaysia

Heard a very inspiring phrase from a fellow campus rep today,

"If you can lead a group of unmotivated children and make them listen to what you say, imagine what you can do when standing in front of a boardroom of directors."

I've never blogged openly about my interest in Teach For Malaysia (TFM) before, but this quote pretty much changed me. I want people to know that TFM is not just a teaching job, and not just a stepping stone for better things.

So many misconceptions. So many different views. We are steering away from the real cause TFM was formed.

Focus, people, on how education is important for all of us. Fine, so Bill Gates did not graduate yada yada yada. But he does not represent even 1% of the uneducated! It's stupid how people downplay the importance of education by using Bill Gates as an example. Why don't you quote the experiences of those who did not make it in life simply because they were unfortunate enough NOT to have received proper education?

Think about what you can do :)
