The Teachers Of Our Lives

Education is a must need in our lives. Sheer success and a sheer establishment one can achieve through a guided and mentored education. Our teachers and our family plays a very major role in achieving our dreams. Moreover, God has a major part in this. People who endeavor to succeed are the real achievers in life. Even we have come across many people, especially students who are encountering lots of problems due to the absence of education.

So today in India on the 5th of September of every year we celebrate Teachers day, the day of teachers ( gurus) who have always played a very major role in our lives. Let’s just appreciate the teachers in our lives. As we are completely aware of it, I want to highlight the facts from my view.

Note: Teachers are those who teach us the best lessons in our lives despite age, organization, or religion. Our friends can be our teachers, our siblings can be our teachers, or anybody who teaches us are to be appreciated as Our Teachers.

We all hustle to achieve heights in our life, to reach a certain point and get the best views but do we acknowledge the root or the base of all this? Do we embrace the source of power and the courage to climb to the peak? No, right! We all know if the base is weak, the pillars and the floors become weak enough to collapse. So our base always starts from our schooling either from home or school. On teacher's day, I wished my grandfather and he said: Why are you wishing me? Am I your teacher? I said yes undoubtedly because I know everything starts with family. I completely acknowledge the existence of FAMILY plays a very important role in our education. Family inspires us in every possible way. Home is the first school and family are the first teachers. They support us emotionally, physically, and financially. Yes, I wrote financially because our family hustles to provide us with a loaf of bread, provide us with the best education, and make us independent. They give us the best lessons in our life and we can certainly pass them on to the next generations. Indeed some cannot match the mindsets because life changes and so does the experiences but the family has never left our back. I always wish my family first on every occasion — my grandparents, my uncle and aunts, and most importantly my parents. Family becomes our first mentor, they provide us with the roadmaps to our dreams and achievements.

So here comes the foremost and the supremely important people in our life: The Teachers Of Our Institutions. They have always played a major part in our current position in our lives. But we only appreciate their existence once in a blue moon, don’t we? Appreciating their efforts should make us eternally grateful from the core of our hearts. Schools and colleges differ, and teaching systems also differ but what does not changes are the efforts and the constant support from our teachers to do well in our life. The discussions and the lessons apart from the curriculum inspire us to make them proud. There are, however, those teachers that have the energy and passion to share their methods with us. They share their experiences and pieces of knowledge from which we aspire to become alike nevertheless we cannot. Mastering the art of teaching is not at all a cakewalk dear, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. It's the most difficult task of all the jobs. They not only deal with us but also with the organizations’ faculties and parents, looking after their respective families and sometimes might work for long hours even after their working time.

I can relate to this so strongly because being a daughter of a teacher feels tremendous and inspiring. I know the pain behind the days of their profession. I teach primary students but could not match the level of patience in dealing with the students. Although I teach 6–7 students, teaching and handling a school of students is not at all an easy task, and hats off to their patience and how they manage them.

So before emphasizing education and the system, let's emphasize the source of education — Our family, our school, and our teachers. Nevertheless, books are the ultimate source but the living breathing people: The Teachers are more effective and influential in enhancing the purposes of life.

Happy Teachers’ Day to all the teachers of our lives .
