Samuel Isaiah achievement does not come as a surprise given his dedication to the job.-Bernama
His achievement does not come as a surprise given his dedication to the job. For the 33-year-old, teaching is a calling. He recounted a hilarious incident when his students stuffed their school bags with durians instead of books when the King of the Fruits was in full season.It was not an easy start. He also had to learn to break the cultural and language barriers, and to tackle the poor attendance.To get through to them, he taught them music outside the classroom.The school was also depleted of resources, so Samuel went to great lengths to get laptops and tablets through crowdfunding.
