A teacher is a social servant.” And Gandhiji had left this quotation, “A teacher is a good friend who prevents his friends from shedding tears.” Again, someone has said that a teacher is a nation builder. My teachers taught me that a teacher is a social animator.
A teacher means many things. Look at the blooming flowers, always colorful and spreading the fragrance of sweetness – a teacher does the same. Or look at the bees, always working cooperatively with zeal and enthusiasm, or the brooks flowing towards their goal unhindered by the obstacles on the way. Don’t teachers do the same?
If you think that a teacher is like the sun, it is true. The sun gives warmth and light, so does the teacher. Even if you think that a teacher is like the moon, it is true for a teacher can be cool and calm even in the hours of darkness and trouble.
You do naughty things at times, don’t you? Your parents scold you and they even beat you, yet they still love you so dearly. A teacher does the same. The only difference is that your parents bring you up and the teacher educates you. That is equally important and equally challenging.
