Tribute For my Heroes : Teacher

On Teachers’ Day on November 25th, 2014: Tribute to My Lovely Teacher

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. (Brad Henry).

For all teachers in this nation, I want to say thank you very much for teach us. Have Happy Teachers ‘Day, especially for the teachers in circle of my life. I want to give great appreciation for their special contributions in changing my life and also the child of this nation for the better. But More than ever, I've been growing up in the circles of teachers. My Dad was an elementary school, my uncle, my two aunts, and so my lovely sister and her husband.

I took this moment to remind myself that without a teacher I will foolish forever. In my life I have a great teacher that often gives me inspiration and spirit of learning. He has been bringing a flicker of hope to his wife, his five children and also in each child that he was encountered. He is my lovely teacher and also my lovely father. In in my childhood he is the teacher who was taught me how to read Al – qur’an, in the school he taught me to learn a lesson. So with my sister and my brother. Before taught us, it was the people of my village. They came from many various of age, not only the young but also the old people. That was until one day, father has got a great gift,he was married with one of his student. It was mom. Interesting story right? From teaching getting a wife.

Then,no means to over that I put him as one of my hero and my role model in my life. Since my childhood till now he has been taught me about many things. He often discussed with my sister and my brother, and I always like this moment very much. We were enthusiastic when he told us about the history, sometime about politics,wayang,Javanese philosophy, or the story of his life. With his habit I gain some new knowledge, inspiration and spirit. He used to advise me “ Maybe We only a villages and not a rich person, but don’t make you to be less confidence ! Don’t leave your religion, make a learning as part of your life,read more, more and more.” I understand that he likes reading books very much still his childhood and he wants we’re too. Dad, i still remember a thousands of advice that you have given to me. So dad I am sorry that today I haven’t make you proud of me. Yet, i still learn and doing some effort to accomplish them. 

Next, great appreciation for every teacher that have taught me since Elementary, Junior and Senior high school. I can’t mention one by one. So with the other teacher that came from out of the school. You’re influence my life. You’re brick in the structure of social development and perfection after parents. You help to shape the behaviors and mentalities of individuals and communities. You are a good role model and provide upright examples, the faith and assurance of responsible people.

For me, teachers are real live heroes in my life, the ones that change my life to be  better. They inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. Teaching is about life-long learning, having fun and inspiring students to learn and do their best. They taught me that it wouldn’t a matter what kind of job I land on, what kind of house I lived in, and how much money i have in the future, as long as I am useful for others and inspire them to be better.

Too many people are looking for heroes in another places; Please be aware the great  heroes are near from you, they are your parents, they are abound in public schools; teachers who dedicate their everyday to inspire their students to be better each day.
