“A teacher affects eternity; he/she can never tell where his/her influence stops” -Henry Adams 

                Every student’s future is heavily influenced by his/her teacher. A teacher shapes the lives of the future leaders of our nation thus every teacher is a molder to every student to become the future leader who will lead our country’s progress. But is it the only role of every teacher?

                Every teacher is a hero; they are the best good examples in our school. Acting as our second parents, our teachers teach us values and practical lessons we need in order to achieve our aspirations in life. By reaching out and touching our lives, then our teachers help shape our future.

                Teachers belong to the league of heroes. They may not have super powers but their patience, understanding, and love for his/her students are his/her best weapons. Their names may not be found in the history books, to remark their works and hardships, but ourselves are the symbols of their contributions on how they greatly influenced our lives.

                Most students think that teachers are strict and terrorizing. But I am sure that this impression will change if they would meet my favorite teacher, Mrs. Melma Lendio.

                Mrs. Lendio is an excellent teacher. She explains lessons thoroughly and helps us better understand the topics which we find difficult to learn. She is like our second mother. Her motherly advice is priceless and she always reminds us how to manage our time properly. She would always emphasize that cramming is a bad habit. From this, it changes my attitude because usually I always think that there will be another time for working my projects. Now, I know the importance of time management and that is the result of the influence of Mrs. Lendio.

                I know being a teacher is not an easy job. It goes beyond the school hours. It goes beyond mere checking of attendance or delivering of the subject topics. Every day, a teacher has to cater to each and every student’s learning needs, manage the class, and attend to his/her administrative duties among others. On top of these, a teacher also has his/her own family that needs to be taken care of. Teachers sacrifice a lot to provide students quality education.

                I am very grateful for our teachers for their patience and dedication. I know that being a teacher is the noblest profession in the world. I salute every teacher that gives their time teaching the minds of every student. They are indeed the noble heroes.
