After a bad test, I told a student: this does not define you

A20:37

I saw a student look sad after a test.

Saya melihat seorang murid tampak sedih setelah ujian.

She failed, and her eyes were wet.

Dia gagal, dan matanya basah.

I sat next to her and spoke softly.

Saya duduk di sampingnya dan bicara pelan.

I said: 'This does not define you.'

Saya bilang: 'Ini tidak menentukan siapa dirimu.'

I also said: 'I have seen you do hard things.'

Saya juga bilang: 'Aku pernah melihatmu melakukan hal-hal sulit.'

I reminded her of a difficult project she finished.

Saya ingatkan dia tentang proyek sulit yang dia selesaikan.

She looked up and took a deep breath.

Dia menengadah dan menarik napas dalam.

Then I said: 'Let us look at what we can fix.'

Lalu saya bilang: 'Mari kita lihat apa yang bisa diperbaiki.'

We opened her test paper together.

Kami membuka kertas ujiannya bersama.

We found three clear mistakes.

Kami menemukan tiga kesalahan yang jelas.

I showed her how to fix each one.

Saya tunjukkan cara memperbaiki masing-masing.

She smiled a little before leaving.

Dia tersenyum sedikit sebelum pergi.
