Whole World Teachers' Day
Teachers behind famous people
Can
you imagine living without a personal computer? Yes, with the exception of two
Bill Gates high school teachers, that would be our world today. Gates'
mathematics teacher, Fred Wright, asked him to push himself a little. Maybe
that is why the originator of Microsoft at times be asleep under his desk in
the office instead of going home to rest after work.
And her drama teacher, Anne Stephens, helped her find the love of prominence
when she made a schoolboy who was sometimes withdrawn a school drama star.
Gates thanked his teachers and said, 'There is no way they could have Microsoft
without doing what they did.'
And
he is not alone. Oprah Winfrey, a talk show host, actress and TV presenter, was
encouraged by her fourth-grade teacher (9-10 years), Mrs. Duncan. For her part,
Oprah says, 'I felt I could take the world. You did exactly what the teachers
should do. They create a learning spark that lives with you from there.
An
adult you can trust:
For
some children, teachers are the only people who have a positive influence on
their lives. Antwone Fisher, a best-selling author, grew up in a foster home,
and he didn't have many adults to trust. But an elementary-school teacher, Mrs.
Profitt, was the first adult to ever trust him. 'He spoke to us all in the same
way - with respect. No one has yet spoken to me in that manner before. I
think having been with him for three years made a big difference. '
Some teachers
change our lives and others give us good moments of humour for years to come.
We shared those stories with our school and college friends and laughed our
hearts out remembering those fond memories.
This is Teacher's Day, we
talked to some of our students and they shared with us some of their exciting
stories:
At one point
during our exams, the teacher would walk down the aisles to give classes.
Suddenly the monkey suddenly jumped on him and started screaming. He ran inside
our classroom and slammed the door. She was scared and the other teachers were
laughing at her. On the other hand, we used a bug to cheat. I passed that test.
One time my
uncle came to pick me up from school in the middle of the day. My teacher asked
me why I had to leave early and made a sad face and said, "I'm not well,
ma'am." He was carrying a slip issued by his uncle in the office. He
slapped me. We had a real reason written on it, ‘function of family.’
A day to say Thank You
So, if you are a good teacher, you are one of them.
One day,
you will look back on your life, your successes, your dreams, or even your hard
work. Chances are you'll find a teacher's name that has helped you achieve
these goals. You probably already know who that teacher is. Why not find them
and say thank you today for World Teachers' Day?
