My memorable teacher


Someone once said:”A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.”

This quotation, from someone who is still unknown, shows us that our teachers have a great influence in our lives. They light our way and work to improve our own beliefs and personality. They help us decide what we want and of course prepare us for that.

My memorable teacher would have to be my primary one. What make her my memorable teacher are the patience and the discipline that she required to us. I have always thought that so much pressure would make me feel insecure, but I can now understand that all that demanded excellence made me what I am today. Anyway, she was there supporting, encouraging and pushing me to my ambitious.

When I first entered the class, she was standing in front of it, welcoming every one who would enter. She was not very beautiful, but her smile would make her pretty. She was young and much related with children.

From that day on, she would teach me to be responsible and take care of my duties. I remember her telling us that we should spend much more time with our homework than with games. Games were for the vacation time.

She would also help me to stand for my rights. My ex-teacher has taught me to say my opinion and stand up for it, even if someone wouldn’t like it. She would tell me that it was no matter that everyone would be against me. If I know that I am right, than I should stand up for it.

She changed the course of my life and I am really grateful for that. She changed me from that little “boy” to the girl I am today. She made me believe in principals and moral. She made me think and not memorize. That is why she will always be my memorable teacher.
