Internationally, there are a branch of people from all walks of lives who own their own pages in
the book of history of the sport. Among them, I want to single out Grandpa Merican, a person who still
writing his own history and haven’t finished yet.

Compare to this 21st century which can only lengthen the life span around 75, I wonder if we can
even walk when we get the age over 50, and it is more difficult to say if we will do sports then. But for
the 73-year-aged man, he was racing and doing sports with his own strong and stable passion until now.
He experienced 57 years of racing. As mention in previous, he was given a chance to do his beloved
sports starting from 1949, and therefore, he enjoyed was being delightful wherever a single minutes or
seconds counts. Including, this is the answer for his success and can enroll for the first class of the world
of sprots.

Another reason of being s-class-professional is that he followed every fundamental principle or

rule of racing. Whenever he starts racing for running, he always tries to face ups and downs and begins
running with a speed of air like a strong horse. Here, we have to consider about his aptitude, “Is he being
very successful without training? Or “Maybe he has given the power and aptitude of running from god”.
However, besides from these words, he has his own royal and noble answer. He was ordinary like other,
not as fast as air at first, however, his routines of running regularly, gradually running on slopes, pull him
up to the top of the world.
 In addition, it is exactly appreciable that he also utilizes his abilities in suitable roles. He can
make P.A.K in every aspect of running and breaking every record that the other players have done. He
enrolled in every race about running and occupying every gold metal and absorbing people’s loves and
admiring and also playing role as role model and IDOL for other generations. Apart from that, he also
makes self-funding, well-wishers and sponsors, also making clubs and training for those who interested
in running and think somehow showing his pure and loyal attitude.

The Things that he did throughout his life are actually admirable for youths and children from
school. All of his attitude, discipline and routines, regularly practices makes him always the best his
passionate life goal. This is somehow stimulating out minds to emulate him. The last thing I want to
mention here for school children is that, emulating his attitude, discipline and routines, regularly
practices, it is certainly that we can get and reach our goals with the most appropriate way.

( I hope this article will take place in somewhere in your mind ^-^ )

POE Summary

A man is standing on a place which seems to be like desert, due to the plenty of sand. The man
who is standing and posing to the camera may be the researcher or he can also be the ordinary visitor.
According to the photo given, among the grey sand, we can see the huge and enormous footprint which
we can consider as giants’, because, the footprint is larger compared to his whole tiny body. That place
have to be the interesting place, somewhere in the world, since we can see other visitors there. We
appreciate their effort to take the photograph. If they did not capture, we are not given a chance to see
or know that footprints are exists.

Hello, WiWi_JONES,

It’s me, the oldest-grannie, thanzin^^. I wish you are doing great for everything, especially, your
health. Plus, I, and all of us were too sob and feel blue when we’ve heard about your announcement. I
am not trying to convince you to not to quit school, not like that. Please walk on your way that your
destiny’s paved for you, and also, I hope it would be the same with your mind prefer. So, let me tell you
something about our journey with the little kids, ( I mean Than Thar, MBH,… KiKi and Lone Lone.. )

As I am the oldest one, I want to share some information from our conversations. Just Kidding”.
 Tho, initially, we all wonder if you are doing well or sick, even though we are cool-blooded in
appearance, in addition, every time you are absent, we all feel blue and miss you and we swear, we
wonder how was your weather. Let it be, this time I want to tell you something about you, starting from
your first day. I guess, now, Sir and me are like friendly compared to our first meeting. I believe, you did
not have a chance to recognize me, cuz, unlike others, I was a quiet one while others are friendly with
you. The words I am going to say are like just I am openly-sayings. I think, I’ve told you once about this,
but I am not sure about myself. Fine, just like trauma, I did not like you at first even though you were
friendly to us. I was a bad gurl :”)) Like I did not do any of homework you gave TwT. Sworry for that, I
think I was too childish and immature. But, as the times passes through, I changed gradually, I did all of
your homework and you become one of my top 3 favourite teachers. Btw, I am really glad that I could tell
you how I felt since and then, I was looking forward the chance that I can tell you like this. But now I
have a chance. Thanks wiwi.

And Do you remember when we took a branch of snaps of you? (lamo) That is somehow lighting
our loves on you. Actually, EFL is kinda boring? Ah no, I am too lazy to do EFL but in your times, I never
feel like this. I am very active to learn but, I was too shame to talk or even type, But I’m glad that I have
courage to talk with you^^. When you met with Phyu Sin and others, I was admire and also wanted to
see you all. But the only thing I can do is look at your photographs. But I hope that someday soon, I could
see you in a good way, SIR.

During class time, I apologize for somedays that I was too quiet because I had my some bad days,
we all love you in different ways, but Our weak point is that we don’t know how to emphasize to show
our love for you. The LOVE that you gave us, we wanted to give it back 100 times, no, 1000 times more,
tho,…., My mind is too full with emotions and I think, no words can be produced anymore, expect from
drops of tears. Anyway, I wanna put some words that I’ve heard, combining my ideas, our reality and
read these every time you feel blue or lonely.

“Far distant stars are like your eyes, they’re so bright and shine,

Shined under the moonlight, uncovering the darkness

You just look so shine yourself,

So please smile, like we did in our classroom

Don't cry or don’t be sad, I+WE don't want you to be sad :”(

I+WE like the sound of your laughter better than crying”

Do you want to get for your life-pleasure?

So, even if you are late, will you stop for a bit and rest?

Cuz ur restless heart needs to take a rest.

When everything feels like a mess,

Always remember our beloved-days.

 I’ll be missing the boys and girls who laughed together

I keep remembering those glorious and loving days.”

My appearance may be cool-blooded, but, I secretly love you all.

Therefore, I can’t even guess how much must it hurt, ‘til I can move on from this situation.

But please, always remember, even if we have a sand dust of choices, we will choose you again,
without any doubt.

THANK YOU WIWIJONES, THANKS FOR YOUR BREATHING.

THANKS FOR YOUR LESSONS. THNKAS FOR YOUR 5MONTHS.

THANKS FOR YOUR EVERYTHING.

THANKS FOR YOUR EXISTICE.

Your naught GURL, Thanzin :’).
