TeacHers.....

Recently one of my subject teacher's health is taking on toll. He is my favourite. He is one of a kind. Never in my life i came across such a selfless sir. He is my class sir and teaching us maths. I was very sad when he told us about his health condition. I didn't expect this will happen to my favourite sir. What he said was that he is not able to concentrate, bad mood swings and he is not able to sleep at nights. He just told about that yesterday.  I realised something wrong a long time ago because usually he won't refer to notes while teaching ,  the lesson there will be fun with a lot of laughs and we will never fail to understand what he teach. But now there was a big change in the way he teach. I always tell my friend who is sitting beside me in the class that there is a tremendous change in Mr.X and yes i was right after all. My classmate said that it might be symptoms of Alzheimer's. My heart refused to take what she said. I told her may be he is facing stress. I don't want anything to happen to him. Our nation need teachers like him. Getting a good teacher is a gift from God for me. Among my ignorant lazy teachers he is the one who always cared for us. No matter how busy he is he will never miss the lesson. I always salute him for being such a dedicated teacher. Exactly like my tuition Bio sir. They worry more than us, the students that they wont be able to cover up the syllabus in the targeted time. If all the teachers think this way sure the number of students passing in their exams with flying colours will be high too.

Talking about teaching it is one of the most noble job. Teaching is the profession that teaches other professions. Without them, will there be any doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers around? They are the initiators for the development we have reached today. They play an important role in everybody's life. Behind every successful student surely there must be at least a teacher who selflessly sacrificed her/his time to educate and enlighten the student to the world outside. For many times, my parents and uncles said that i would make a good teacher but i dont think so because i know my personality well. I dont think i am patient enough to teach a student. Patience the important trait of a teacher. If there is aint any patience imagine the slow ones. They will be left out for sure and for me i think i cannot take it if there is a student who didn't score well under my coaching. It will be heart-breaking to see a student didn't perform well because of me. So definitely i cant be teacher but i really do appreciate those teachers out there. As Jacques Barzun quoted, in teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, may be for twenty years. Finally, here is a poem that i found in net for all dedicated teachers out there,
