*GOOD ACTION PAYS*
I once marked the script of a student and in one of the questions he answered the answer was not clear to me and i didn't want to fail the student. So I compromised. I marked the rest, but left the first section unmarked then informed the student to see my for an interview.
After the scripts were returned, the student came. I asked him directly what he meant by what he said. Luckily for him, he explained better. So there and then, I gave him the mark and then updated my scoresheet. The student left very happy.
Its almost 4 years now since that event. Today at 5:07am, a mail came in and it was that student. The student graduated and becomes a lecturer in a university. He found himself in my situation, so he remembered how I treated his case, so he applied the same solution. So he said " I mailed to say thank you after 4 years. Your method has impacted on me"
I was actually amazed. This incident gives me hope in humanity. It means that if we try harder, we can instill good culture and practice in people. When I did that to him, I never knew it will turn this way. So, lets be good ambassadors. Surely there are people who are ready to be good models.
