It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
– Michael Morpurgo
Teachers are an essential aid and a supportive figure for every student. They teach the students and pass the waves of optimism and positivity in them. Amidst this Long Pandemic, It’s the teacher’s sincerity and dedication that ignites the mind of every student and inspires them to achieve their goals and aims and always follow the right path. They also help the students to tackle Obstacles in their path and follow the righteousness.
For example; Lord Krishna, A spiritual and a charming character in the Mahabharata explains the Bhagawad Geetha to Arjuna in a divine and an inspiring way which always inspired Arjuna to follow the path of righteousness and gave Arjuna wisdom and courage to fight the Kurukshetra War.
Just like in the above example, every teacher gives jyothi (light in English, symbolically positivity) to their students and encourages them.
Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, The former President of India once replied to his friends when they requested him to allow them to celebrate his birthday, on 5 September.
‘Instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if September 5th is observed as Teachers' Day’
His birthday has since been celebrated as Teacher's Day in India on September 5th.
Teachers Day is a day where we give salutes and respects to all the teachers who educated us and gave a ray of optimism, self confidence and faith. In this day Students express their gratitude and thanksgiving to their dear teachers for all the need and empowerment they have given in them.
So My Dear Teachers, I express my gratitude and thanksgiving for helping me in need and enriching good qualities in me and enhancing my personality and correcting me from my tender mistakes. You have always been a role model to me and every other student and encouraged me to reach the highest points I will aspire and acquire.
Lastly I would like to end my article with a quote
