Etiquette & Manners

You can hear that it is important to be polite with your teachers, greet them when you see them in everywhere, school, televisions, parents, religions and so on but have you ever do it?
I always thought that I did it but I had guess wrong. I was asked to find a friend from my teacher, Pn. Wan Noraizan at class 2B1. I went in and spoke to the teacher there.
"Hi, Mr.Collins. I want to find XXX."I said. He told me to repeat it again and he asked a girl to correct me. She told me to add in 'please' and the other girl said 'excuse me'. When I heard this, I realized that I had been speaking very rudely to the teacher. Then, the whole class laughed at me. At that moment, although I felt shy and embarrasing but I still thank the teacher for correcting me.
When I thought of it, I felt that I had lost my manners. This had been a very great lesson to me so that next time I speak to a teacher I should be more polite and remember to greet them. This lesson will always kept in my mind.
So, I hope that next time when you speak to a teacher remember to be polite and greet them.
