Reminiscing:My Great Teachers..

Reminiscing back in those days. Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops. Henry Brooks Adams I remember the efforts of some great teachers in my life.We were encouraged and given challenges to bring out the best in us.Little did these teachers know that they were sowing a seed in the young minds. Back in those days at Government day secondary school minna. Reminiscing........ I remember the first day l read the news on the assembly ground.(I was in J.S.S one)It was just one of those fun days back then to me.But when l reflect on such great efforts made by great teachers back in those days,l just have to acknowledge their great effort on me. Model international school kaduna was another school where l met with excellent teachers who were always ready to bring out the best in each child and give room to exhibit your talent.It wasn't only about the academic aspects,they put in consideration the extra-curricular aspects which made every child felt recognized in various aspects they strived. The influence of a teacher has tremendous effect on children they teach.And that is why we must intentionally have positive influence on our pupils.Back in those days some teachers were like semi-god to me,likewise some have their names in my blackbook.***winks.Funny, but true,children never forget great teachers and those otherwise to them. The teaching profession is challenging but also a special profession.We must always be on toes because most parents nowadays are so busy that they shift their duties to the school.A teacher is a leader and that is why we must influence our leaders of tomorrow because a leader influences. Let's join hands in influencing our future leaders because we never can tell who among these children will need our impacts in the nearest future... If kids come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job more important. This is dedicated to great teachers who have influenced and brought out the best in me..... Nafi's Random Musings@ www.nafisustain.com
