Have you ever wondered a person who could be a good friend to you my dear students? Yes! I know somebody who could be one.  He or she is your dear teacher!

            A teacher is a person who exudes a reputable character, a pleasing personality and with a soft heart.  Being a well-rounded person, a teacher knows a lot and could be a good friend and adviser.

            Being a broadminded person, a teacher has an open understanding of everything around him/her.  He/she also possesses a compassionate heart to feel the sentiments of everyone.  A child may feel secured once a teacher comforts him/her.

            In the midst of confusion and difficulty,  a child may encounter a predicament, but a teacher is always there to help and offer guidance and assistance.  That is why the learner will be directed to the right path of life.  It’s just like being a parent who knows what is best for his/her son or daughter.

            The teacher will never leave you.  He/she is willing to sacrifice for the sake of his/her pupils.  The amount of time and effort will be spent by a teacher just to answer the needs of his/her clientele…the learners.

            Just knock on his/her heart and he/she will eventually open a space to make you relax and comfortable.  No hesitations and apprehensions will be felt, just the eagerness to be of help.

            That is a teacher. Truly he/she is a true friend and be worthy to be a true adviser.  Let’s be glad for we have somebody with us anytime we need.  A teacher…a friend… my friend… and be yours.

            Life is made more meaningful by the teacher.  He/she is always there to give care and to be your guide in the times that you need him/her… ready to serve.

            The next time you want to have someone to talk to, look for your teacher.  He/ she is just a few meters away.
