By: Juliana March S. Mendoza They are considered as our second parents. Oftentimes, they are our closest friends. They are funny, strict, fun, and young, old either way. Their passion, dedication and boundless effort in teaching us are unsurmountable. It cannot be equated into any amount of money because it’s priceless. Indeed, they are said to be the noblest people in the world. They are our teachers. They give us bunch of home works, hard projects and difficult tests yet, they never left us unattended. Because of this, teachers deserve due recognition and honor. Their sleepless nights and precious time in planning for the next day’s class activities are very commendable. There are times when they get so frustrated with the results but surprisingly they are still there to give remedial classes. When its vacation time, they choose not to rest and relax instead they prepare lessons and activities for the upcoming class. However, their hard work is many times overlooked by students and parents. Teachers are the epitome of love. They love their work. They spend more than eight hours in school. They love their students even though they are noisy and sometimes rude. Their patience is unfathomable. They do not complain of the heavy burden they carry every day. They are the paragon of excellence. They try their very best to make the pupils understand each lesson that they teach. They also give constructive criticisms for the betterment of their students. They are very persistent, especially for the students who have difficulty in learning.. Teachers have set as examples of wisdom. They teach us not only the lessons from the book but teach us the practicality of life. They teach us to choose and do what is right and just. In times we fail, they teach us to stand on our own two feet and be always the winners. They teach us how to view life optimistically. The experiences they shared and the actions they have shown best taught us to be strong, independent, and better individuals. Teachers are our molders of great minds. They take part in the lives of an accountant, lawyer, artist, banker, businessmen and even ordinary people. Everyone around us, the doctors, businessmen, they were once the students of our beloved teachers who deserve to be honored and loved. Teachers do not only teach lessons, they also instill good values that make their students’ well- functioning and productive citizens of our country. Teachers do not ask anything in return from their students that is why they are considered to be our wonderful treasure.
