Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
Well,
the new week just started and let’s say,
it was over before it even began because I wasn’t able to sleep until 2:30 in the morning,
and I’m already feeling very sleepy,
while writing this,
But,
I gotta do what I gotta do right…?
I hope each one of you has had a great teacher in their lifetime,
it doesn’t necessarily have to be someone from school or college,
but,
someone who stayed in your life for a little while and taught you something,
that no-one could within a short span of time…
For me,
this life has been one of the biggest teachers,
trying and testing me all the time,
by keeping me on the edge,
and throwing challenges left and right,
but,
coming out of them gives me a fresh perspective,
a new way to look at things and my life,
by making new amends in the old ways,
making every challenge worth the effort,
and the outcomes even better…
A person who was a great teacher according to me,
Was my history teacher from high school,
her classes were awaited by each student of the class,
as the way she taught,
breaking each and every point,
each and every paragraph into easily understandable ones,
Involving discussions,
two and fro questionnaires,
going on trips once every two months exploring the surroundings,
studying the architecture,
and talking about which era it belonged to,
and discussing things about the monuments the time period they survived,
the types of renovation it underwent,
and the material that was used and how it deteriorates at the climate affects it…
Also,
she was and older teacher,
meaning all of this was gained over the years,
all of which was imparted to us within a span of two years,
a very limited time,
but,
the way she condensed all of her life’s learning in these two years for us,
she made our life,
Our history lessons,
each of them one of the best things that we ever learned in our lives…
A Great teacher is never forgotten,
no matter how old the student gets,
the efforts made always live on forever…
Here’s to all of the teachers,
Sacrificing themselves for the future of those who come to you,
to learn,
and be a better version of themselves,
by taking an essence of it from you…
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
