I am a strong
believer in the saying that time is the greatest teacher," and indeed, it
is. I attended a government school, and to be honest, the teachers there were
quite carefree when it came to teaching students. One of my primary school
teachers, Ms. Waalia, was exceptionally loving and caring. I had a fondness for
her, and I recall eagerly preparing questions and answers for her class. During
my middle school and senior secondary years, I was quite mischievous. I would
sit at the front desk and play pranks on everyone. However, throughout my
student life, I remained extremely active and passionate about sports. I had
great interactions with my sports team and teachers, whether it was in college
or school. Sportsmanship teaches you valuable lessons. In reality, my father
was my true teacher. He instilled in me the values of self-respect, hard work,
and honesty. It was because of him that I pursued my graduation from Delhi
University. Even there, my interest in academics was limited, and I rarely
attended classes. Instead, I was deeply involved in student politics and the
union. People often relied on me to get things done. In summary, life and its
experiences teach us a great deal. We simply need to lead an intentional life.

The teacher who
influenced my life the most was Preeti Ma’am during my schooling in Dubai. Some
of the important life lessons I learned from her include: respect is earned,
not given; challenges make you stronger; be curious and never stop learning;
and embrace mistakes as stepping stones to progress. I was a very obedient
student, extremely focused on punctuality, responsibility, self-control,
respect for rules, accountability, and perseverance.
I was indeed a very
bright student, and I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons from my teachers. Among
them, my science and theatre teachers held a special place in my heart. I
somehow believe that science and theatre are interconnected. From my teacher,
Anuradha Kapoor, I learned a valuable lesson - that one should not underline
everything in life's journey. This wisdom has stayed with me over the years.
However, my all-time favourite teachers were my parents. They taught me how to
be a survivor, as I was the daughter of a warrior.

If I talk about
myself, I was a very bright and studious student. I held the position of head
girl in my school and was known for my disciplined approach to my studies.
Learning was of utmost importance to me. During my school and college journey,
I had the privilege of coming across a few teachers whom I greatly admired. One
of them was Nutan Sharma, my math teacher in school, and the other was my Hindi
teacher.

I had lovely
teachers in my school. I used to love my sculpture teacher. I was really
interested in arts, and he taught me how to make human figures, faces,
drawings, and pottery. I remember I used to love attending his class, and
sometimes I spent like 3-4 hours, during my free time and in his class. He was
a great teacher; he really taught me how to create art and how to value it. I
was all in. I was very naughty and often found in the back row. I was talkative
and highly interested in extracurricular activities, but not so much in
studies, except for languages like English and Hindi, which we were naturally
good at. My mother was a class teacher, and that used to be in the fifth
standard, which was a nightmare for me because she used to ask me questions,
which meant I had to study properly. She was a science teacher, and I had to
really memorise everything because she would ask me random questions, and it
would be very embarrassing if I didn't know the answers. She didn't want to
show any partiality towards me or make others feel that way. As my teacher, she
treated me just like any other student. But, as I mentioned, I really looked up
to my sculpture teacher, Mr. Das. I had many teachers, and all of them taught
us something interesting. Even in college, our teachers were really, really
nice.
There is no doubt
that being a teacher is a noble profession that deserves an equal amount of
love and respect as any other profession. Teachers nourish and prepare students
for their future as they are the real icons of knowledge and wisdom. They
create awareness among the students and common people. I remember our Hindi
teacher, Gupta sir, very well. He used to sing poems using Bollywood song
themes, and I still remember them even after decades have passed. Those were
the best days with no tension, only fun. I was a very introverted child, but I
got along well with all types of students, from those in the front benches to
those in the back. It's strange, but it's true.
