    This poem is everything!! Great teachers are the ones who help us be our best selves and bring our inner talents out, as well as improve it. We need more great teachers out there – and it’s up to our generation and the future ones to have the interest and be taken care of. Thanks for sharing this amazing piece!!

    The majority of the teachers i’ve had didn’t do anything good for me. But those who made an impact on my learning process, I remember them dearly✨

    The impact teachers can have is incredible. You never know the lasting impact of a good or bad experience can do to a person, some completely change someone’s life and don’t even know it x

      That is so true! Many people go on without knowing the wonderful things (or not) they have done.

    I had some amazing teachers in secondary school. I remember their names in fact I have several on my Facebook! They inspired me and guided me so well!

    1. Jaya Avendel

      Aww, I love that you have kept in touch!

        Yeah some of the ones I loved, I am not in contact with. But I was super lucky with some amazing teachers

          It is good you have amazing people in your life. 🙂

    Lovely, Jaya. I can still remember how one teacher discouraged me completely and it took patience and care from another to build me back up again. Whoever says words can’t hurt has no idea what they’re talking about xx

    1. Jaya Avendel

      I think words hurt more then sticks and stones. I am so glad there was a teacher in your life who encouraged you forward. 🙂

    I can recall a certain teacher who guided me and showed me how talented I was!

    I remember my college professor who saw my talent for fashion and ever since then, I’ve been on the journey. Good teachers really do have a healthy impact on students.

      I love good teachers for their ability to identify, sometimes, the things we miss in ourselves. 🙂

        Me too, it’s nice for them to care so much <3

    1. Jaya Avendel

      Art teachers are often so full of fun! 🙂

    Not every teacher has that quality to inspire students. To this day I remember the names of the ones that did for me.

    1. Jaya Avendel

      It is beautiful that we remember the people who did even the smallest, kindest things for us. 🙂
