Just heard from a friend, that a teacher, principal, counselor, leader, motivator, even a very good friend who we could talk to heart to heart, has gone for good because of a serious illness.
The first time I set my feet into a new school, she graciously welcomed me, "Hel..llo.... Pop...py...., I really like to call your name Pop....py.. (with a stress on the "Pop").
Unlike the other leader figures, she was seen as a real leader, exemplary. She was an iron-handed woman. From her I learned to be able to establish myself, be strong, and be resilient. She taught me how a teacher should act and behave (in school of course), to be an example for students, she also taught how we deal with parents so that teachers were not regarded as baby sitters ;).
She was different from other female leaders. For me ... she had a dominant masculine. The nature that matches as a leader. She was very firm, but still has compassion. One of the things she did to show that nature was... when she called me into her office because there was one thing to say about my work that must be repaired, after which she also gave a wedding gift for me (since I’d just got married at the time). It was something beyond my expectations, and so made me moved.
The most memorable thing for me is, as a doctorate in linguistics, she knew how to use her knowledge. For example ... she will use the English language level appropriate to the Indonesian that she talked to. Immediately she will change the way she spoke when talking to an expatriate or a person who was fluent in English, at the same time.
One of the things she had ever said during the training I had attended was that as an educator, we can also as a counselor for our students. So that our students do not need a special time that made them reluctant to come to the counselor's office. This is what I am still trying to learn.
Many things I want to learn from her. How lucky I was, that I've ever worked with her. A person who also had helped me shape my personality. Hopefully I can take a lot of knowledge from her, to show our competence through our behavior.
Goodbye, Dr. Anula Samuel, a lot of memories that linger in my heart, good or bad, even though we only met for two years. May you rest in peace there. God bless you.
Dr. Anula Samuel who I knew was the Executive Principal of Singapore School (SIS) Kelapa Gading, SIS-Kebun Jeruk, In-House Consultant for those schools, and someone who served in ANPS Committee as a Chairperson.
She contributed to education for over 40 years.
