Self-Discipline

" Shut up! You stupid woman!" Tom scolded his teacher. Tom was a boy who had no self-discipline. He never pass up his homework in time, bullies his classmates and always shout at his teachers and parents. Hence, everybody is afraid of him. He had no friends. All the teachers dislike him, except for one teacher.


That teacher's name was Mrs Tan. She thought that every student can have self-discipline. One day, Mrs Tan saw Tom tearing his homework into bits. She went forward and asked Tom what had happened. Instead of answering her, Tom throwed the bits of paper on her face and shouted" All the teachers are stupid!!!"and he ran away. Mrs Tan thought about what Tom said and asked the other teachers what happened. The teachers told her that Tom's Chinese teacher, Mr Lim had call him stupid. Tom was very agitated and ran out of the class.The next day, Mrs Tan asked Tom to meet her after school.


"Ringggggggg!" the school bell rang. Tom made his way to the staff room to find Mrs Tan. When he reached Mrs Tan desk, Mrs Tan was sitting there with a serious look on her face. Mrs Tan asked Tom to take a seat. Mrs Tan told Tom that self-discipline is very important. Every one should have it. She explained what is self-discipline. Mrs Tan told Tom a story about self-discipline. They spoke for three hours. When Tom went home, he went straight to his room. He saw his room in a complete mess and he realised that he had no self-discipline. The next day, Tom went to the staff room and thanked Mrs Tan for helping him.


From that day on, Tom worked hard in his studies. He got lots of friends after he turn over a new leaf. Tom learned that self-discipline is very important to everybody.
