It’s not just on Teacher’s Day, but always that we need to remember our dear teachers for the role they play in shaping our future. All through school and up to the very completion of my law degree, I was tremendously blessed with ever so caring and loving teachers who taught with a dedicated sense of hope, passion, motivation and focused direction. Throughout the student days they always encouraged me in extra-curricular activities paving my way to participate in elocution, debating and essay contests all along. Great teachers can make a big difference in our lives, for besides making a lasting impression in the classroom they can cast a very positive influence on our life. Our teachers are more than mere educators. They also play that vital role as a dear friend, counselor and mentor. Ever so humbly, we should always remain heavily beholden to all our dear teachers who imparted to us all their invaluable knowledge and guidance that has immensely helped us in life. As Henry Brooks Adams, historian and politician once observed ‘Teachers affect eternity. No one can tell where their influence stops’.
