Happy Teachers’ Day to All My Students
When I was a school teacher for 20+ years,
every year on this day our students felicitated us, as did the school
management. We were made to feel special throughout the day. I was fortunate
enough to have been felicitated by the Lions Club in Raniganj as well. After I
changed my profession and became a copyeditor for Macmillan, I was still wished
and remembered on this day. But I realised that now I had teachers who trained
me in copyediting so I started wishing them a Happy Teachers’ Day. Most of them
were younger than me and they must have been pleasantly surprised at this turn
of events. Today I add my yoga teacher to this list and wish her on this
occasion.
While taking my bath today I realised that
teachers in the conventional sense were not the only ones who had taught me my
lessons in life. My students (children) had all contributed in a great way.
They taught me how to be patient and how to deal with individual differences
and gifts. So today I wish to thank and felicitate all my students (children)
for having done just that. THANK YOU.
