Teacher's Day was celebrated a few days ago.
What were your thoughts as you remembered your teachers?
Did you remember their efforts in helping you grow in knowledge?
Or the disciplines with which they strive to mould you in character?
Your teachers are very important to your success in this journey of education, and in life.
The fact that they expect much from you, give you assignments, and discipline you, doesn't make them your enemies. They're your coaches, present to bring out the best in you.
They are here for you, not against you. They are here to build you up, not to tear you down.
They are present to help you grow - all round, not just in your academics.
Please, come to APPRECIATE their relevance to your journey.
It's in your best interest to be on good terms(and cooperative) with your teachers both in your mind, and outwardly.
"Imagine for a moment that you're in a military training program, where you progress by your obedience to instructions. You know that you would just have to find a way to cooperate with your instructor, however harsh the drills are. This is because following those drills will equip with the discipline, strength and endurance to be a soldier. Failure to follow those drills will defeat the purpose of your training."
This scenario can be compared with your secondary school journey. Through the instructions to be upright in character, disciplined with your academics, and sound in knowledge, your teacher's and instructors are shaping you to succeed in your journey. By God's help, make it a priority to cooperate with them.
How do you cooperate with them in bringing out the best in you? Check out the second part of this series, titled "Towards a better relationship with your teachers."
Finally, in what ways can you express appreciation to any teacher who stands out among those that have taught and mentored you?! Is it something you can carry out, to make the teacher know that he/she is loved by you? Let us know in the comments!✨
