Have you ever had a teacher who really inspired you to learning and hard work?

[Apulu_Imback]

Yes, few important ones are

English teacher : So what happens is when I sit idle in my class then I scribble random things in my notepad. It's like my diary you can say. So I wrote a short lyric which was on my mind for a while and at the end I wrote 'I hope that one day the world can see me, but it seems that I would stay undercover' . Somehow that note tears apart and goes inside my English notebook and my teacher read it when I submitted the notebook to her. She wrote in the paper 'Your passion and ambition will surely carry you to the peak of world in upcoming years...' and few more sweet words which I can't read properly. She definitely gets the credit for retaining the writer in me. She was always with me before being my English teacher too because she used to take notice of my work along with few handful English teachers.

Late Chairman of my school : He passed away due to covid and my god even though I didn't cried it stabbed like a knife straight through my heart. He was one of my father's acquaintance too. His works for children across the world made me his fan. He loves kids very much! I guarantee you that even though my school have thousands of students there isn't one who haven't had a smaller convo with him (of course those who were in his life time). He used to have online sessions during Lockdown because he was missing his kids. During his death too he said his wife 'Take care of my kids'. His one quote 'Be the best or different from the rest' always motivates me. He was extremely deep thinker and his love for artistic things and talents like Painting, Music, Writing, Sports just doesn't helps but makes me think of him more higher.

My kindergarten teacher : I will only say few words for her. Once my mom was impatient because I couldn't write like other kids. It was because I was much younger than them. I joined school in 2 years and 3 months while they were of 3-4 years. She once asked my kindergarten teacher that why can't I write yet, in an stressful manner. Teacher said, "Ma'am why are you rushing up things? The flower will bloom on its own. If you pull the pedals forcefully it won't have that graceful smell. It would be just a half dead piece which would be a bit appealing. If you want your daughter to be a graceful flower whose smell will spread across the world just water her till she blooms". This parenting tip saved my life from my impatient Mom in a way lol otherwise my life would have been so stressful.

My 9th grade college prep English and literature teacher. I miss her and loved that woman

[DizzyDesii]

My fave teachers were Ms Bernice, Ms Leighton, Ms Harris, Ms Englada, Ms Payton, and some sexy ass coaches who taught PE and IT class. But my fave teacher was my first and that was my mom as my preschool teacher. She influenced me heavily. Hard to look up to her now but back then she was the shit

[Cubus]

Your mum is the teacher?

[DizzyDesii]

Mmhmm

[Cubus]

My mum is one too. But in primary school

[Guy13]

Yes and he was a retired university professor from MIT. I love Math... and Physics. He made a huge difference in my life... There is no way I would be doing the things that I am if he did not enter into my life. He was an accomplished old guy with lots to share.

[TrueConfection]

Yes. I had several actually, but one in particular really impacted me the most. My 5th grade teacher was a great teacher, but had this belief in me that is still with me 35+ years later.

[Cubus]

What subject did (s) he teach?

[TrueConfection]

All of the subjects.

[Cubus]

Ah, I see it's early education.

In my country one teacher teaches everything (or almost) till grade 3 or 4 (I'm not sure because some time ago was an education reform so I don't know how it looks like now).
