Teacher's Day is fast approaching, and both students and teachers are looking forward to going to school for only half the day again on the 28th. No classes. Yippee. But Teacher's Day is actually more than just the wonderful day off from school. As the name implies, "Teacher's Day" is actually about our TEACHERS.
We mostly take our teachers for granted, thinking that they are only ther, teaching us, because they're supposed to. But that's really not the way it is. Teachers teach by choice. Our teachers could have been doctors, astronauts, writers, lawyers, and the occasional skydivers, but instead, they chose to face hard-headed students like us everyday.
Teachers are wonderful. They do so much for us. Most of us can't even stop our knees from shaking when asked to answer simple questions while standing next to our seats. We'd probably drop dead if we had to teach in front of a whole class, fifty minutes per period, more than eight hours per day. But how come they can do it? Truth is, some teachers may not be that comfortable being in front of a class, especially the new teachers, but they breathe deeply couple of times before going into the classroom, and draw out all the courage they have in order to face their fears. they know there are minds inside those four walls that have nothing in them yet, save for swirling clouds and perhaps a few things that might pass off as flies, and they conquer their fears to fill these minds with Shakespeare's works, the laws of Physics, the history of the world, and so many other things.
Teachers not only fill our minds, though. teachers also fuel our hearts to work for our dreams, to live our dreams. Have you ever thought about how teachers always seem to expect much from us? They pressure us, ask high grades from us, and we tend to feel like they're expecting too much from us. They ask for us to do well in school. But when we truly try, through their motivation, to reach this goal, we make it. Teachers, then, give us direction. They help us fly without us really knowing it. They help design our wings to lift us off the ground and into the sky.
This Teacher's Day, learn to appreciate your teachers. All they are, they are giving to you. What have you been giving them? Eyes averted from the board, ears bloacking the sound of their voices, minds set to not understanding? Give them more than that. So much more.

Dear Karl, Wiljan, Ralph, Rache, and Arnold,
Great to see that you're doing well. I hope you continue to do your best in the things you're doing.
Good luck and don't forget to enjoy yourself in your last year of highschool life! Remember, in the end, the relationships are what counts. You will forget about your activities but the friends (and enemies) remain after high school.
Take care!
