Teachers Day  - What it means to me and how I celebrate it every year from primary school till now

Teachers day to me is a wake up call to all the students out there (anyone who is still learning) irrespective of the age. It is a subtle way for the learners to realize and humble themselves that whatever they are, it is because of a bigger hand above them. It is a day to remind the learners to have gratitude towards the gurus who have lent their hand in their success. Feelings of gratitude and humility will ensure that we are always grounded and believe that there is always someone higher than us, watching us, protecting us, guiding us and making us human.

There will always be ex-students visiting and coming back to their old school to see the teachers who has taught them and guide them. This shows how much we need teachers to guide us and walk through our path in our teenage life to change us to a better and successful person. Teenagers now thinks that having teachers is a useless thing and that they should not even exist. However, at some point in the future, we will thank them for their good deeds and what they have done to change us all.

Since primary school, it has not really change since then. We celebrate every May and it always ends with joyfulness. Ever since standard 1, I always go to school sit down look at the teachers playing sports and I find it very amusing. This is because we do not really look at the sporty side of the teachers especially when you see your discipline teacher having fun, smiling and laughing, it just does not sound right and it gives me the creeps. I celebrate Teachers Day this year in a way that is quite different than the past years. This is because I performed for the teachers this year. This is one of the way on how I paid respect to the teachers who taught me and guide me.

Teachers Day is a day where all of us should attend to school to celebrate. If we skip school, this is not the way on how we respect the teachers. They have worked hard for us. Why not do something for them to repay for what they have done to us?
