Do you still remember your teacher when you were in Grade 1? Precisely yes! simply because a teacher will remain forever in the heart of a certain learner.  In addition, the teacher has done a lot in the development and progress of an individual.

 

            It’s nice to see the situation wherein a person greets his former teacher.  In the church, in the market, in the street, in the mall, in the park and wherever a teacher goes there is always a former student to greet him or her.  It seems that a teacher has established a soft spot in the heart of every learner.

 

            When in times of need for learning and advice, a teacher is called upon in the community where he/she lives because the knowledge and wisdom of the teacher are truly considered sound and brilliant.  The good tag that is put on the personality dress of an educator is so endearing and attractive that it captivates the attention of everyone.

 

            Even a teacher reaches the age that he/she has to retire I think the teachers will still be very important because the voluminous contributions he/she showered and bestowed on his/her learner are exuberant or overflowing.

 

            Doctors, engineers, architects, dentists, nurses, politicians, celebrities and all the workers in the society became what they are today because of their teachers.  Obviously, the foundations they built for themselves were  developed and strengthened partly with the help of teachers.

 

 

            They say that teachers are the unsung heroes.  For me, teachers will forever be heroes because they made significant things in building the nation not only of the past but also of the present and of the future.

 

            A country, nation or society can never survive without a teacher.  From our ancestors to the present time, teachers are very existent.  The world is lucky because we have teachers who will be in our hearts and minds forever….
