Mr. Vargas was my teacher for 6 years. It was a time when my town was recovering for one of the worst earthquakes in our national history. Schools were destroyed and ours was a new one but we didn't have suficient materials.

He used to take us on walks to nature to learn about animals, plants, the environment and the rules that govern physics.

He always had his guitar and encouraged us to be creative and write songs.

Mr. Vargas had a peculiar way to teach morals and He was very advanced for the time being.

He always supported me and let me be myself. He taught me about pasion and enjoying life.

The two that stand out the most are Mrs Greenly for French, who was always kind, composed and so enthusiastic about French. She knew how to extend the class to more than just learning by rote, and encouraged me to be proud of learning, to keep trying and enjoy learning. Mrs Jenkins my art teacher was dynamic, active, encouraging and passionate about art and was able to maintain a constancy and vibrancy in our art classes, nothing was boring. I was always happy to be there. They have influenced me to make classes part learning English/part feeling good about learning and extending that learning. So when you come across difficulties it helps you to push through, as with life, ups and downs with learning too.

Mr Rylands was the headteacher at my school, and although he never taught me personally, I was always so in awe of how he knew every single student in the school. Not only their names, but about their recent achievements, talents and skills, and he would talk to everyone in passing and make you feel heard and listened to. Even years later, when I'd moved away from home, he'd bump into my mum and ask how I was doing. I don't know how he managed to retain that much information about hundreds of students, but it was as though he knew every single one of us personally. This has made me realise that however brief my encounters with students, I need to get to know them as much as I can and make them feel valued.

When I was in high school, say 25 years ago, my English teacher made me his shadow teacher for he would get sick too often.

He was a great teacher as he taught me classroom management and effective delivery of lessons. He even got permission from the principal to take this venture. Of course, the principal attended all my classes to maintain discipline.

I will never forget how I used to burn the midnight's oil preparing my lessons. I felt like an apprentice who'd been thrown in an uncharted territory.

Mr. Yusuf, who was my English teacher, decided to offer me part of his pay for assisting him during that hard time.

That meant the world to me as I started to feel more financially independent.

He is not the only teacher to be remembered but I cannot forget his words and advice and the way he insisted on us to question ideas, facts, readings and everything around us. He pushed us to become critical thinkers without us being aware of it. We used to attend his lectues like stones, yet, now I regret not to engage actively in his lectures; I didn't realize the imporatnce of what he used to say till later (He passed away May Allah has mercy on him, but his words and teachings did not)

When I was a child, I joined a Priest school called "Ye K'es Timihirt Bet". We used to call the teacher "Yeneta" . I learned to read by heart after much practice. This process is known as Qutir, i.e. “learning by counting each letter” The first subject of study for us was the set of Ge’ez letters, known as the Fidel, I used to practice reading a text, the text was the first epistle of St. John and reading lesson from religious books. Then finally, passed to higher reading using Psalm, the most important devotional book of Ethiopian Christians. All these are because of Yeneta (Teacher). Never forget Yeneta in my life. The foundation of my school life.

I am sharing few insights that are very innocent with my teaching learning Carrier.

1. Pre-planning and preparation in the form of notes, handouts aur mind maping by reading different books. As much as physics is involved, a large number of complex mathematical equation are involved. He use to create a easy way to solve equations numerical problems

2. He always listens his students and appreciate their work.

3. Motivational speaking 🗣️ is his key to enhance students confidence

My English teacher in highschool, Ms. Basma, was one of the few truly influential people in my lifetime. She taught me the importance of details when writing a story, she encouraged the writer in me by highlighting my strength points, and finally she gifted me a novel that she thought suited me the best and that I'll always cherish; The Great Gatsby.

They both left an impact in my life in extension to my teaching career. Aunt Esi was keen on me writing exceptionally well in class four. During lunch break, after eating, she insists I sit by her and write using the copy book as well as hers on the board as a guide. This made me very conscious about my handwriting and received complements from people. I have also incalcated this habit of writing exceptionally well to all my students that I teach or have taught. Mr. Quarshie, on the other hand always made us perform mathematics (mental) and spelling to improve our vocabulary. I always look forward to this early mornings exercise which I cannot forget. I always encourage my students to read wide so that when spelling is done they can excel and they do the mental to improve on their mathematics fortitude.
