Student for life.

Some if not all of us have been at some point in our lives been touched by someone who taught us or who shared with us knowledge that would affect our future in some way or another.These well respected human beings undergo severe hatred from students,although all they tried to do was to broaden our horizons when it came to learning something new.And we hardly ever credited them with that.

Through our lives I doubt if any of us ever forget our knowledge bearing teacher's and professors who despite teaching year after year the same thing never ever got tired of sharing with us the lessons we were to learn to learn literally only once in a life time.Every teacher had a different way to impart this lesson some were down right sweet and some a lil harsh but who would it benefit at the end of the day? Us:)

They were born with gifts of exactly knowing who would succeed in life right from the start,seldom the wrong doers ever went unpunished and the mischievous always behaved cause they knew of the secret powers a teacher possessed. At various times in our lives when we are either at our peak or low someone comes along who guides us to get better or just gives that helping hand to stand up,they are no one but the messengers of the wonderful teachers who taught them to share this knowledge they learnt.

We ourselves have maybe consciously or unconsciously shared such knowledge learnt and pretend its our own not giving credit where it's due.Our teachers are responsible for shaping each one of us in a way so that in our journey through life we have little or no trouble at all.Most of us miss our schooling or student life all together,mainly because it was a constant learning process,some of us move on to become students of life.

For those who believe knowledge is power and refuse to share what they have learnt or know are not liked by many and don't progress much in life.The other's possess the gift of teaching,like magic they know exactly how to share what they know in a way that we understand.Imagine coming day after day with a passion for teaching a subject they are so good at.I often sense that a teacher is most gratified when he sees all his students through to the next class or level and if after they leave succeed in whatever they pursue and come back to express gratitude it would be the best feeling ever.

We all have had wonderfull teachers through school and college,We are who we are today due to the foundation laid by these talented people who never gave up on us.They deserve all the credit and more for they never seem to tire from creating the leaders of today and tomorrow.I would like to part with these few lines taken from a wondeful teacher of mine,It goes to show the perseverance one needs to have to become a "Teacher"

"We the willing,led by the unknowing,are doing the impossible,for the ungrateful,We have done so much for so long,with so little,we are now qualified to do anything with nothing"
