Teachers our guiders and our future lighters

Faith Hawaes
Teachers are the nation builders, the shapers and the back-ups of bright and better living standards of individuals. They are the backbones of every successful person in the world. They are occupied with many tasks and responsibilities, but still make it up to us. They become second parents as they guide, teach, encourage and pick us up when we fall.
They always tell us that life is a journey which gets bitter and tough if you give up or do not realise the countries you might be missing out on. Teachers help us to follow the right path and open our eyes to the world so that we know the difference between “good and bad”. A world without teachers is like a bird with no wings, a person with no brain. People say it is a funny career where one remains at the same level, never invests, isn’t considered a worker compared to doctors and is paid less. Allow me to declare those as wrong statements and whoever believes them needs to be corrected. He or she needs to be taken back to the roots in order to understand the logic. You are where you are and who you are because of the good foundation you got from teachers.
They say education is the key and the greatest equaliser, forgetting that it is through teachers the education process is completed. Teachers help us determine our dreams, build our futures and guide and encourage us. If we are realistic and honest with ourselves, we would not be where we are and who are because of the education we get from teachers. I am certain that we will never find a successful person who won’t tell you that “I am here and I am who I am because of teacher X.” We will forever depend on teachers.
