I have too many Eureka moments before this but I do not realize it until I learn it in critical literacy subject. However, there is a Eureka moment that i want to share that makes me realise that expectation is different from the real on. In my school, there is one class for every form that takes Arabic language and that is my class. This class has 22 students and has balance number of boys and girls. When first class started, our class teacher wanted us to choose our class rep and his assistance. A boy had volunteered to be the leader and that made me thought that he is quite annoying. Most of my friends in my class also seem to think just like me.
Form 1:
A girl from my class had fallen for him and had wrote a letter just to told him that she wanted to be his friend but she had been rejected. Not just that, that boy also said something harsh that made that girl felt very sad. Since that, I had been hated him for 3 years straight although he was in the same class with me. I thought he was an egoistic boy that thinks he was better than anyone else. I never talked to him and always avoided from him until I form 4.
Form 4:
When I was in form 4, I had to be in a class that same with him again and that made me hated being on that class. One day, our chemistry teacher wanted us to make a group and we cannot choose our group members because she will make draw luck to make a balance group. I was very shocked when I saw him in the same group with me. One of my friends told me to be professional and I had to try to befriend with him. We started to work together and I became good with him.
Suddenly, he sent me a message asking me about if I have something that i do not like about him. I honestly told him what I felt about him and after that we became close and share our opinion together. We become best friend and finally I know the real meaning of expectation is different from the real one. I was totally wrong about him and he was not same at all with my expectation. I felt regret because hating him for a long time without any good reason.
Sorry friend...hehehe
P.S: This is not a love story....
