No Stars Here: A Call to be Teachers in the Twenty-First Century
There are teachers that I still remember as if it were only yesterday. Mr. Lim taught me geography and English but he taught me more than that. Mr. Lim taught me by his own example that we should always aspire for the lofty heights. All we needed, he said, was to aim high. "The higher you aim, the higher you climb," he would say, "and the higher up you will be even when you fall. Aim low, and when you fall, you fall right to the bottom. So, always aim high."

NATIONWIDE PUBLIC OUTCRY
AND COMMENTS:
FIRST THEY CAME
First they came
for the socialists,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for
the trade unionists,
and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left
to speak for me.
