It’s not just on Teacher’s day, but it is always that we need to fondly remember our dear teachers for their role in moulding and shaping our future in the Temples of education and for that we always need to recognize them with immense gratitude.
All through school and up to the completion of my Law degree, I was tremendously blessed with caring teachers who taught with hope, passion, motivation and a sense of direction. Throughout my student days they encouraged me in extra-curricular activities paving my way to participate in elocution, debating and essay contests besides leadership camps all along.
Many of my dear teachers have over the years passed away but their fond memories will forever linger. A regular teacher may merely direct us along the right path, but great teachers inspire and challenge us to carve out our path in life. Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.
I shall always remain humbly and heavily beholden to all my dear teachers who imparted to me all the knowledge and guidance that has immensely helped me in all my, often lonely, crusades. To them all, ever so indebted, I shall always be.
As Henry Brooks Adams, historian and politician once observed ‘Teachers affect eternity. No one can tell where their influence stops’. Bill Gates accurately opined that Technology is just a tool in terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, but that the teacher is the most important.
