How did you become the person who you are?

And I answered,

Because of someone.

Well, who is that someone?

That someone is the person who picked me up when I fell.

That someone is the person who taught me everything I know.

That someone is the person who corrected me when I was wrong.

That someone is the person who waited patiently for me to grow.

That someone is the person who always wished the best for me.

That someone is the person who nurtured growth in me.

That someone is the person who never left me,

Even when I was deep in the dark.

That someone is the person who accompanied me through my triumph

But never claiming a part which was always theirs.

That someone is none other than – ‘my teacher’.
