“A teacher is the one who illuminates both the mind and heart of a child”
I still remember the first day with which I was taken to the corridors of an unknown place, with darts of felicitations, loud cries of little kids like me, and colors of rainbow balloons all around. It was a fresh dawn of school-life, that became splendid with a cluster of wonderful people. From the pre KG teachers who held our little hands to the world of alphabets and numerals, to the faculties of Science batch who guided us to handle the potentiometer and pipettes with precision, I’ve got many teachers with unique styles who gifted the same essence of love and compassion.
The glitters of my most favorite Ranjitha teacher who led our class in both grades 3 and 4, is always exceptional. She is one of the most vibrant women I’ve seen so far, who brought up all the potentials in me. She instilled confidence, directed us to read more and would always say; “Each bit of paper you read, is an ocean of knowledge”. She portrayed the influence of Science from the boiling point of a bed coffee to the expanded rotations of a regulator that enriched her classes with fun and fascinations and I always had an alacrity to listen to them.
She taught us the lessons of life and boosted courage to overcome any fear. She guided us to become independent by being self- motivated, and her words always give a positive aura for me. During all walks of my life, Ranjitha teacher is my constant companion and a solution to any scrapes or squeezes. Even after these long nine years, her tutelage, maternal affection and stimulus emanates those evocations again and again.
It is absolutely true that teachers affect the eternity and no one can tell where their influence stops. On this occasion, I profusely thank all our teachers for their unvarying buttress and unalloyed love. Once again, HAPPY TEACHERS DAY to all those ineffable hearts.
