Thank You, Teachers!

At the outset, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to all teachers. Thank you so much, teachers, for all that you do, all your efforts and sacrifices, to help our students learn and succeed!

Thank you, my dear and dedicated wife for being the best (Chemistry) teacher that you could possibly be! To me, you're a winner! Fully aware of what you've been doing, to the point of sleeping late at night preparing your teaching materials and other stuff for your students, I do appreciate all the energy and the extra mile you do just to help all your students pass the state's Standard of Learning test. I know how much you wanted all your students to pass in your class and move on to the next level until they all graduate and go to college. May God bless you and give you all the strength and stamina to teach and educate our students!  As always, I love you!

I understand, this week is designated as Teacher Appreciation Week. It's but appropriate and fitting to honor and recognize all teachers for their tremendous contribution to society, to nation-building. Their impact or influence is immense, beyond compare, no doubt about it. They mold (and guide) young minds to become who they wish or want to be---successful, productive, and responsible members of society. They are also our unsung heroes, like our military veterans, service men and women.

Imagine what would it be like without teachers? Undeniably, we wouldn't be without them. I'm sure you agree with me if I say that out of their love for teaching, we would not have become who and what we are now, career-wise or professional-wise. For teaching, undoubtedly, is the "mother/father" of all professions.

Today, and for always, we pay tribute to our teachers who are educators in their own right. We, therefore, appreciate what they do---teaching, inculcating knowledge and skills, helping our students to find their niche under the sun. We pray: God bless them all; Keep them always safe and sound. Make them instruments of  peace and love; Give them all the courage, power, and inspiration to make a difference in the lives of our children who are beneficiaries of their dedicated teaching and community/public service. Thank you, God, for having them in our midst, for being there when we needed them, when we have questions and doubts.

Again, thank you all teachers! May your tribe increase! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
