We can't fake the fact that we had two best
teachers in our lives: The one we loved or hated the most probably because of
the subject or the teacher's personality. Although, it is undeniable that we
will forever remember them, -even those who were not really close to us.
But
how can we talk about teachers without knowing them?
It
all started using feather and ink, to the use of chalks on blackboards, then to
whiteboards and markers of varying colours, and now interactive boards. Thanks
to AI. Only a teacher is able and willing to learn how to use the new things
that are evolving generation after generation for the sake of their students. A
teacher is someone who impacts knowledge, morals, and skills into the life of
everyone. They sacrifice a lot; some their sleep, lunch, free time, and even
their own children, just to make the future of other children-who sometimes are
even rude- to be great.
Teachers are epitome of patience, care, love, and a guide to the
right path. Teachers are leaders. Leaders who even in time of pain, have time
for their followers. Leaders who will forever be in our hearts.
I
still wonder about the concept of Teachers' Day. Iwonder why students complain
about this, and that, say all sorts of things about their teacher like,
"they have bad breath", "they talk alot", "they don't
dress nicely", but only think to appreciate them on teachers' day.
Teachers' Day is just a title. So, why wait for that day when you can make
every day special for them; when you can appreciate them with the smallest
gestures like, "Thank you", or even just a smile.
Just
imagine a world without lovely leaders like teachers, our lives would be like a
world war; us searching for shelter and afraid of the ignorance that's
devouring us.
