Master Stroke

As we celebrate Teacher's Day today as a tribute to the legendary S Radhakrishnan, it's a good time to remember all the other teachers who played a vital role in transforming students over the period of time. I say, on life's empty canvass, teachers paint bold strokes that help students come out in flying colours.
The first person who comes to my mind when we talk about teacher is my mother, I truly believe that mothers are the first inspiration & also the first source of learning for a child. The lifestyle and the habits that a child develops eventually depend a lot upon the interest of a mother. Hence, mother is the first teacher who has all the capacity to transform a child into a responsible individual. On this day I thank my mom for all the support she extended towards me & remember all the things that were taught by her which influenced me throughout. I know you will also agree, so thank your mom.
The teacher whom I'd remember the most on this day is Dr.S. RamaMohan Rao, who was the principal of Ushodaya Jr. College, Vizag, the college where I studied my intermediate course(+2). I am glad that he was an ultimate source of inspiration, it was he who made me understand the true meaning of responsibility. He is a perfectionist by himself and always tried to help me understand the importance of perfection in any given aspect. I express my sincere gratitude to him on the ocassion of Teacher's Day.
As we keep moving ahead in life, we might meet many people who impact our decisions and might also change the direction of the path in which we are moving. I refer all such individuals to great teachers. Teachers can turn leaders, but not all leaders can be good teachers. A teacher need not be a person that you see in your college or school, it can be anyone around you. The guidance of a teacher is as important as your goal, because it is that piece of guidance that gives you confidence to strive hard towards achieving your goal. Never miss out on thanking those individuals who are teachers for your life who made a difference in the way you look and learn things. Keep going!!!
