 specific days to honour or respect someone. But nevertheless, I am getting this opportunity to let my teachers know how grateful I am. There's not a source of inspiration and a guide to knowledge in every student's life. In my multiple years of schooling, I have changed various schools and always been greeted by kind, passionate and knowledgeable teachers who have encouraged me to follow my interests and expand my knowledge. They have worked day and night to nurture us, to help us, to guide us. As someone rightly said that not all superheroes have kids. Some of them have educational degrees and whiteboards. Yes, you teachers are our superheroes. You're the window through which we children can see our bright future. During this pandemic, it has been very tough for all of us. But you teachers showcase that one who dares to teach does not cease to learn. Guru Govind Dau Khade Kake Lagu Bhai Palihari Guru Apne Govind Diyo Batai As I quote the words of the great saint, Sant Kavirdas, who has recorded the position of Guru, a teacher equivalent to that of Govind, God himself. No time would be more appropriate than today. The teacher's day for me to express my sincere gratitude towards these respectable souls. Being fed, the teachers are our second parents. And why not? They've shaped us and our lives. I wish all the teachers here a very happy teacher's day. They push us to our limits even in these tough times. Thank you Vijalakshmi Ma'am for helping me realize my potentials and providing criticism where it is due. I'd also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Sugandha Ma'am, Pallavi Ma'am and Maya Ma'am for providing me with opportunities that have really helped me develop as an individual. I would like to say a few words about a few teachers who have had a great impact on my life. Firstly, Purni Ma'am. Mama, I haven't had the opportunity to spend much time with you but the limited time that I have, the online lectures and everything else just makes me so thankful to have a teacher like you in my life. The constant support, the guidance and the motivation has really helped me a lot. A happy teacher's day to you. A very shy and hesitant girl who's motivated to be the one I am today. I've been in the school for nearly six years and I've had the privilege of being taught by some of the most wonderful teachers. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers who taught me since seventh grade. I really appreciate all the help you've given me. Thank you to all those teachers who have not only helped me academically but also in personal matters. A very, very prevalent and very true thought. Guru Gobind Dau Khare, Kaku Laage Paye. Guru Bari Hari Gapne, Kahat Gobind Dio Badai. This lockdown has stopped us from doing many things but tying our teachers should be one of them. From a crazy number of doubt clearance sessions on WhatsApp to midday calls on clarifications, all my teachers have stood by my side and ensured that we as students feel comfortable. I understand that at this time all the teachers must be juggling between their personal and professional lives and I couldn't be more grateful for keeping us up there on your priority list. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step and who better to guide us through this journey of discovering ourselves than our beloved teachers? From the first step we take in this world you bestow on us your knowledge, skills and above all your love. You instill in us a hunger to achieve and the means to succeed in our endeavours and for that, thank you. I've been in Alper International School for the past six years and this journey has truly been wonderful. That was majorly because of all the lovely teachers we have here. Since 5th grade I've been very lucky and blessed to get teachers who were constantly a guiding force and they used to motivate us at every step. 10th grade is probably one of those years when a student is constantly pressurised because of the whole board examination scenario but I think more than the students it is the teachers who are under greater pressure. We always keep complaining about how tired and intense we are that we barely try to understand their state of mind which is why today I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those teachers whose never-ending efforts are reflected in our results. They've helped me to learn new things and gain knowledge outside of what's just given in the textbooks. Teachers, I would just like to begin by thanking you all and wishing you all a very, very, very happy teachers day. You have been a constant support system through each phase in our life. We cannot thank you enough for what you do. I express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you and one day is definitely not enough to talk about the selflessness and support that you give our students through our growing years. Once again, a very, very, very happy teachers day to each and every teacher. Thank you for everything. A truly amazing English teacher it's hard to find, harder to pick and impossible to read. I remember my first day here at Elbrough. I was nervous and excited because I was switching schools for the first time in 10 years but our wonderful teachers made it feel right like home. Even through these difficult times you all have always had our backs and truly shown us that it is the teacher that makes the difference and not a virtual or physical classroom. Our teachers don't understand boring teaching. We always saw them dedicated to teaching in a fun way. Today, I would like to thank all my teachers on this beautiful occasion of Teachers Day and let them know the enormous impact that they have on our lives shaping us into better humans. I said my nickel sparks. Teachers inspire you. They entertain you and you end up learning a lot even when you don't realize it. Growing up, I've had a lot of teachers some who just talk, some who demonstrate but this year I've had the privilege of having teachers who inspire me not only to work harder but also strive to be the best possible version I can be of myself. The lockdown hit us hard and we don't know what we're doing right now but it made us realize one thing it made us realize the importance of teachers the importance of a classroom. I admire the patience and hard work of all of my teachers. Throughout my life, I've been blessed with wonderful teachers that have helped me improve not only as a student but as a person. I no matter what I do in the future I will always remember their words of wisdom. They bring out the best in me and I feel extremely privileged to be under the tutelage of such experienced teachers. Honestly, the subjects that I've chosen I really do enjoy and it becomes even better when I've supported teachers guiding throughout. I'm deeply thankful for all my subject teachers all in all I couldn't have asked for more. When I look back at my time at the school I realize that a lot has changed since I first started and for this I have my teachers to thank. I remember looking forward to early mornings, Sundays our sherry practice because I actually enjoyed it so thank you to our sports teachers. A wise teacher once said to me that 10th grade is one of those years which you don't forget throughout your life no matter what happens and the main reason why that year is so special are the teachers who are with us and made it so memorable by supporting us in our ups and downs in the mischiefs we did and also scolded us for not submitting a notebook. This teaching is the most noble profession out there and you have to be really selfless while giving knowledge. I enjoy studying the subjects I have less for the reason of what they have to offer and more for my teachers. You have guided me through the important years of my life and I will forever be grateful to all of you you guys have really helped me a lot and you guys were actually fun teachers to be around with. To have met teachers such as yourself is a great honor that I will cherish forever. Your principles and instructions have helped me shape my life for the better and I am grateful to you to all the teachers who everyday give away pens and pencils knowing that they are not gonna get them back Happy teachers. I think teachers day is such a good day to appreciate all the teachers in our life and especially my experience in the school like through our 9th to 12th it has been such like I've had such a good time with teachers over here whether it was in academics or my dance or other hobbies I've always come across a sense of encouragement from all my teachers. I thank you all for imparting knowledge to our students which would be used by us for a lifetime knowledge which was not only academic in nature but also teaching us life values.
