We met up with Jerlene's teachers this afternoon during the parent-teachers conference. We first met Jerlene's form teacher at the multi-purpose hall. She was very glad to see us because she wanted to personally thank us for raising Jerlene up to be such a wonderful girl. She went on to explain why she said that.
Apparently, there is a student with special needs in the class who had been very temperamental. Even the teacher had problem to calm him down at times. Jerlene was given a task last year to try to "counsel" him. After several months, she actually managed to calm him down. According to the teacher, that student has improved a lot since and she really want to thank Jerlene for all her effort. She said she met up with that student's parents earlier and they too wanted to thank Jerlene. I guess that's the reason why the teacher had chosen Jerlene to be the ICARE champion.
Well done, Jerlene! Though academic results are important, personally I feel that such values that you had demonstrated is even more precious.
