A morning sunshine occupies the sky aligning with the unusual day today. Walking through the corridors with no sight to see. Everything is covered with eye-catching cellulose films and papers. It might come off as something normal, but behind the thick walls, students are panicking, not because of unfinished take-home assignments but with writing heartfelt messages and finalizing activities to ensure a lively and successful day. A bunch of busy students are rushing to get their tarp paper taped together and curtain crepe paper glued to the walls with no signs of falling before the event starts. Students are exceptionally creative this day, as some are having glamorous decorations with their disco and Barbie-themed classrooms and presentations.
Time passed by and the hallways are now filled with students who excitedly greet the people behind their improving and knowledgeable persona. They ran and brought out their best smiles as they said their letter of appreciation and love. Isn't it so endearing to witness the reflected impact of our beloved educators on the betterment of each student in every aspect of life?
Today marks the moment of heartfelt greetings and messages of gratitude and appreciation. A day of unity among students as they are collectively determined to give every faculty member an enjoyable and memorable teachers' day. Yes, an afternoon commencement of a program is not enough for everything they have done for us, but to let them enjoy and be relieved of academic responsibilities even for once is a simple way of being grateful for their unending passion and support.
We spend most of our life in school. We learn, laugh, and go through different stages of academic stress. Which sometimes results in us blaming difficult things we encounter. Due to this, we tend to reduce our teachers to the stressful things they have made us go through and we disregard their efforts and methods of allowing us to gain significant knowledge that aids us as we take on our journey toward our dreams. May we never forget that the way we are today is the manifestation of the learnings we acquire from our beloved educators who keep on guiding us to the right path. Our perseverance to learn is made possible through these precious teachers who motivate us to keep going and pursue our dreams.
Further, teachers are not solely here to share and teach us knowledge. We must tattoo in our minds that they are always here to accompany us and constantly look out for us in our pursuit of excellence and success. Their passion and dedication to guide and educate us are like a puzzle piece that completes us as we embody a better person.
Ending this with a quote from Henry Adams, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops". Our stepping stone to success and dreams lies within the knowledge and learnings we acquire through our academic journey. And a simple token of appreciation would suffice for everything these teachers have done for us. A simple smile and a sincere greeting of "Happy Teachers’ Day" is a way of appreciating and remembering all the moments we had with them in our quest for success.
