Everyone's got potential (June to September 2011) I remembered stepping into a class of unruly, rowdy and rude students on my first day. I almost wanted to give up but I thought, 'Hey, I wouldn't like it if someone gave up on me.' I came back the next day and had a good 2 hours chat with my students. Turns out, they were only unmotivated. I told them, 'Each and everyone of you has the potential. Don't waste it because you only live once!' From that day onwards, we worked hard together and the Mendaki students will be in my best memory for life.
