such meetings. The fact of choosing En. Mazri is because he is a teacher like me,
after all. We start off at the same platform and have gone through the similar
other majors because education is the only way for me in which I use to educate
people and to develop human capital to the public. This will increase my knowledge
and ideas that I might be able to explore and use for the process of teaching and
learning. Maybe this will winch up my spirits and definitely boost my confidence to

Conclusion
From my interview with Mr. Mazri that I had conducted recently, I can conclude
that Mr. Mazri believes that is not easy to become an excellent teacher. He has to
face many challenges before or after being an excellent and brilliant teacher. But
armed with patience and persistence he finally managed to hold the title. During the
interview with Mr. Mazri, I was a little bit messy because of the questions that I gave
did not fulfil the requirements of the lecturers need. In that case, I had to prepare
another question and this takes time. Fortunately Mr. Mazri is willing to cooperate
even though he had come all the way from home only to be interviewed by me. His

that can be applied in my teaching skills and learning process. Even though I am

Deep in my heart I feel like to follow his footsteps and work together with him in
making education more interesting and enjoyable. This interview really opens my
minds and I am more confident to pursue my study higher to the next level.
Above all this, I could hardly notice myself in his place. I have the picture of me being
the next excellent teacher in my school. By the time, I will work hard and try to do my
very best. The effort to achieve my dreams to be an excellent teacher can be done in
no time if I have the gut to give what is needed to get to my higher level of education.
