I am writing this article as a reflection of the movie.
How is a second chance important to each and everyone of us?
Students make mistakes in school, they get a second chance, sometimes third, fourth, fifth, etc. Teachers are there to teach, impart life lessons and most importantly, to build character. 4 years of secondary school education is a long time, enough for us to learn, make mistakes, learn from them again.
When teachers build character, it's for the students to do the right thing because it's right. And not because their teacher says "I need to do the right thing, so I do." They do the right thing because it's right and their moral values tell them "hey, it's right." They know how to differentiate right from wrong.
All of us learn from many different ways. Sometimes, we learn from our failures, sometimes we learn from others. When a certain incident hits us hard, we learn from it, give ourselves another chance, and we take a new action.
If someone trespass against us, do we give them a second chance and forgive them? Or, do we ignore them and break off all ties with them?
I quote the following:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
"The lesson is that you can still make mistakes and be forgiven."
Every student is a seed that can grow. As long as they are nurtured in a good environment, given space, and time to learn. Give others a second chance, for it might be a life changing one.
Lastly, I would like to invite you, my friends, to watch the following video.
