"My Teacher, My Hero"

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Doctors, nurses, engineers, dentists, accountants and scientists are some of the fast- earning professionals. But they will not finish their degrees without their teachers. What we know and what we have now is because of our teachers. There are teachers who touched our lives.

I had a teacher when I was in elementary who enlightened my mind. She is my favorite teacher. Mrs. Osalvo changed me a lot. At first, I was not determined to be in the honor role but she enlightened my mind. Because of her my mind was awaken. She was not only a good teacher to me and my fellow pupils but also a loving and understanding mother to us even though she was only our subject teacher. Before, Mathematics is my water loo but when she became our teacher in mathematics, it became my favorite subject. Through her learnings, my skills were developed. And the result of my determinations made my parents proud of me. My teacher believed in my abilities. Before, I was a constant awardee but when I was in the fourth grade, I failed. In my fifth grade, I received awards but I failed to have an honor. But I succeeded during my sixth grade. That is why until now, she is still my inspiration to succeed because I know and I believe in my own abilities that I can do more. Thanks to my teacher for What I have now. She is really a hero for me.

A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.
