A teacher I will never forget

Profile image of Larry Orozco

2018, essay

The influence of a good teacher can never be erased, and it is because good teachers always leave a mark in our life. This is the case of my English professor from high school, she was the kind of professor who will never be satisfy at least that all her students got the knowledge, she was very dedicated to her job, also she was very friendly, there was no one with whom she had no friendship, but apart from being so kind, she deserved everyone's respect and admiration. The dedication to her job was very noticeable, she almost never failed one class at least she were sick, but if not she would never miss it. She was not only punctual but also she loved teaching, I could see how much she enjoy it, she always prepared nice activities, and the surprise that could never be missing was a quiz, she used to say (take a piece of paper and write down your name on it), and that was everything, we knew that it was true so we had to study every day, because we never knew when we would have a quiz. She explained very well, and she gave clear explanations so there was no excuse, of course her methodology worked very well because she made us to study in order to not be surprised by a quiz. With the past of the time we do not remember what a professor teaches, what we remember is how He or She is. My English professor was very kind, she was lovely and very friendly, all of us we were glad to see her every day, because she made us to smile with her personality and the way she addressed to us. She was very funny, of course she was very respectful when making jokes, and she never hurt our feelings because she knew that we loved her. On the other hand she was like a very close friend, we could trust on her our problems due to she gave us confidence, and the most important she did not have preferences, all her students had the same value, nobody was more important than other, and I consider it was something very special from her. There is a big difference between being strict and respectable, we respected her class, no body made noisy on her class, even nobody got distracted during her classes, and because of the way she taught made the class to be serious and entertaining, everything was centered on the topic of the class. She was not rude, she did not need to be like that to keep the control on her students. I steal remember the first time I saw her, I thought she was the kind of person who does not like to make friends because of the way she looked but after receiving the first class with her, I realized that it was the opposite, she was a very nice teacher, someone inspiring. But before I finish I want you to know who is the teacher I have been talking about, her name is Martha Yadira Vallejo, she studied English at the same university as I do, and actually she teaches English in El Jicaral. I think she was the one who sowed in me the desire to learn English and for that reason and for many others I will never forget her.

essay about the teacher i will never forget

hudiyantitaufani2 taufani2

A B S T R A C T Little empirical research has been done about teacher–student relationships and the emotions involved from the students' perspective. Our research employs narrative approach and addresses such memories of teachers that former students described as having very positive, even life-changing significance for them. We ask what do positive memories of teachers tell us about teacher–student relationships and the emotions involved. The findings illustrate how teachers establish emotional bonds with their students as well as their sensitivity towards the students' life-circumstances and emotions. In addition, teachers' socio-emotional involvement in students' lives is reflected in students' emotions. For teacher education, we argue the need to implement the understanding of the meaning of emotions in teacher–student relationships.

In her classes, the relationship with the students entails peculiar ethical dimensions, and hospitality is one of the categories involved in her didactic proposal. Much data has been gathered through ethnographic reports of classwork, interviews, surveys and analysis of reference materials, which aims at throwing light into good teaching at university, as part of the investigation conducted by the Research Team on Education and Cultural Studies (GIEEC) in this University.

The Teacher as a Person

Olufemi O . Ajayi

The Teacher as a Person Teachers' Colleges, or Colleges of Education, which is a better term, will do two things: (a) They will continue the student's personal education and help him to become a good person. (b) They will introduce him to the difficult art of teaching, its theory and its practice. Some people think teachers' colleges should produce fully trained teachers at the end of the course. This is not what colleges do, or claim to do. They lay foundations upon which the young teacher can build. It is during the next five or ten years of teaching that he will complete for himself what the college began to do for him. Only in school (his work place) can he get the experience that counts. But, experience is of no use if we are too proud to learn by it. There are millions of people in the world who have had lots of experience-but they are no wiser. So, let us remember that the amount of experience we have had is of less importance than our ability to profit by it. The best teachers are those who have the humility and capacity to learn by success and failure. Humility is the capacity to accept the criticism of others and to criticize ourselves without feeling too sorry for ourselves. It should now be obvious to 'student teachers in training' that a large part of their future success depends on themselves, on their knowledge, on their attitude to learning their job, on their capacity to learn by their own experience, and on the conduct of their personal lives. But none of these good things is enough in itself to make a good teacher: Knowledge is not enough if we do not know how to pass it on to our students. Training is not enough if we have no knowledge to pass on. Experience is not enough unless we learn by it. Good character has to be supported by knowledge and skill in the classroom. What sort of person a teacher ought to be? 1. A teacher should be a person of good character-a man or woman who respects truth, who is sincere in word and act, who likes people and especially children, and whose personal life sets a good example to his pupils. He should have a sense of humour; which means that he can laugh at himself and that the children will laugh with him. These qualities of character are the solid foundation of the good teacher's work. Parents will feel that their children are safe in the care of such a person. 2. The good teacher will remain a student all his life-Only in this way can he become an educated person, which is what every teacher should wish to be. Teaching fails when we cease to learn, no matter how old we are. What we have learned at school and college is only the beginning of knowledge. The School Certificate is a beginning; the Teacher's Certificate is another beginning. If we have a university degree, this too is the beginning, not the end, of the journey. For these are only stages on the pathway to knowledge and wisdom. The test of the truly educated person is that he knows that he does not know all he ought to know. The mind of the

An effective and highly committed teaching force is a requirement in raising the education standards and promoting high academic achievement among students. This qualitative study is anchored on ascertaining the characteristics that make up the effective secondary school teacher of Quirino. Employing a phenomenological analysis, it explored the perceptions of public high school graduates toward their teachers’ performances based on their experiences during their high school days. The key informants of this study are graduates of secondary schools in Quirino who are now enrolled at Quirino State University. They concurred in majority that an effective teacher is someone who possesses pedagogical skills which are important in carrying out quality lessons in class. He/She must also carry affective skills that manifest his/her passion for teaching. In addition, an effective teacher must have personal and professional skills that he/she needs to carry out everyday activities in the class. Finally, an effective teacher must have a strong spiritual qualities so he/she can also develop his/her students to become God-fearing citizens. These qualities which top the list of the perceived desirable characteristics of the effective teacher rendered substantial standpoints in developing policies or even improving those that are existing to increase the effectiveness of secondary school teachers in the province.

The article presents the perceptions of Indonesian vocational high school students in defining an ideal teacher; what makes a teacher good and bad. This qualitative study employs in-depth interviews to obtain the data. The findings informed that an ideal teacher is the one who builds a positive relationship with the students, for instance, having an individual consideration, easy going, having a deep empathy, motivating, performing comprehensible teaching, enthusiastic, humorous, assertive, humble and patient. Moreover, this type of teacher will also be far from being injustice, antipathy, irresponsible, authoritarian, and short-tempered. Some pedagogical implications areimplicitly discussed. &nbsp

essay about the teacher i will never forget

Recommended for you

To the teacher i'll never forget, your teaching was a work of heart..

To The Teacher I'll Never Forget

Hi, remember me?

I used to sit in the back of your class in the corner, hiding behind others because quite frankly you were always so intimidating. You were quiet, but stern. I was terrified to be called on because I was afraid of answering your extremely thought-provoking questions. I was afraid I wasn't good enough for your class. Admittedly, I was a huge slacker when it came to Honors English. I would procrastinate on huge assignments and stay up hours upon hours to try to complete them because I knew you were a tough grader. Truthfully, I dreaded this class and got stomach pains each time I entered because this was the hardest class I ever took. I always felt so stupid when other kids in the class would give these brilliant answers to your questions and pull some underlying theme from something I considered to be insignificant. I stopped trying. I began to give up and my grades reflected it. I didn't understand why I had such a hard time because I always loved Language Arts.

I wanted to be that student that had all of the answers, but I wasn't. It was rare if I read the book we were reading in class, something I am not proud to admit. I was disappointed in myself and I felt like I never stood out to you. The same kids always answered everything. I think that was another reason why I began to not care. I always felt like such a disappointment. But then we started our poetry section. Something I truly loved. I felt like I was beginning to get myself back, the old me that really tried and always succeeded. I worked so hard on my poetry collection. When I handed it in, you smiled at me and told me my work looked wonderful. That was one of my proudest moments in that class. When you handed my work back to me, I was nervous of the possibility of red pen squiggles across my masterpiece. But I was pleasantly surprised so find sticky notes all through my folder. Sticky notes of compliments. I waited until I got on the bus to read them, tears rolling down my face. I realized at that moment you had noticed me all along. I wasn't just another student. You had believed in me the whole time, even when I didn't. You even had me submit my work in the school literary magazine because you thought it was excellent.

I wish I had appreciated your class more and tried harder. You taught me so many valuable lessons about being human. Making mistakes and overcoming hardships. I ended up signing up for your class again my senior year and loved every minute of it. Honors English will always be my favorite class. And you will always be the teacher I will never forget. Because of you, I decided I was worthy. You inspired me to become a teacher and to never give up on my students, no matter how hard it may be. I wish I could tell you how much I appreciate all of your lessons. And how the world just isn't the same without you here. When I found out you were sick, I never imagined you would pass. You were you...we all believed you were invincible. I feel sorry for the students that will never have you. The ones who will never experience a "Mrs. Pears' Moment" or get to go to your house for a movie night. They won't experience memorizing all of Hamlet's speech, being abandoned for a day for the "Lord of the Flies" experience, or the magic you believed in with carpe diem. There will never be another teacher quite like you. I wish you knew how thankful I am for you. You believing in me was the greatest thing you could have ever done for me. I miss you.

Grateful beyond words: a letter to my inspiration, i have never been so thankful to know you..

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

You have taught me that you don't always have to strong. You are allowed to break down as long as you pick yourself back up and keep moving forward. When life had you at your worst moments, you allowed your friends to be there for you and to help you. You let them in and they helped pick you up. Even in your darkest hour you showed so much strength. I know that you don't believe in yourself as much as you should but you are unbelievably strong and capable of anything you set your mind to.

Your passion to make a difference in the world is unbelievable. You put your heart and soul into your endeavors and surpass any personal goal you could have set. Watching you do what you love and watching you make a difference in the lives of others is an incredible experience. The way your face lights up when you finally realize what you have accomplished is breathtaking and I hope that one day I can have just as much passion you have.

The love you have for your family is outstanding. Watching you interact with loved ones just makes me smile . You are so comfortable and you are yourself. I see the way you smile when you are around family and I wish I could see you smile like this everyday. You love with all your heart and this quality is something I wished I possessed.

You inspire me to be the best version of myself. I look up to you. I feel that more people should strive to have the strength and passion that you exemplify in everyday life.You may be stubborn at points but when you really need help you let others in, which shows strength in itself. I have never been more proud to know someone and to call someone my role model. You have taught me so many things and I want to thank you. Thank you for inspiring me in life. Thank you for making me want to be a better person.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life..

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Don't freak out

This is a rule you should continue to follow no matter what you do in life, but is especially helpful in this situation.

Email the professor

Around this time, professors are getting flooded with requests from students wanting to get into full classes. This doesn't mean you shouldn't burden them with your email; it means they are expecting interested students to email them. Send a short, concise message telling them that you are interested in the class and ask if there would be any chance for you to get in.

Attend the first class

Often, the advice professors will give you when they reply to your email is to attend the first class. The first class isn't the most important class in terms of what will be taught. However, attending the first class means you are serious about taking the course and aren't going to give up on it.

Keep attending class

Every student is in the same position as you are. They registered for more classes than they want to take and are "shopping." For the first couple of weeks, you can drop or add classes as you please, which means that classes that were once full will have spaces. If you keep attending class and keep up with assignments, odds are that you will have priority. Professors give preference to people who need the class for a major and then from higher to lower class year (senior to freshman).

Have a backup plan

For two weeks, or until I find out whether I get into my waitlisted class, I will be attending more than the usual number of classes. This is so that if I don't get into my waitlisted class, I won't have a credit shortage and I won't have to fall back in my backup class. Chances are that enough people will drop the class, especially if it is very difficult like computer science, and you will have a chance. In popular classes like art and psychology, odds are you probably won't get in, so prepare for that.

Remember that everything works out at the end

Life is full of surprises. So what if you didn't get into the class you wanted? Your life obviously has something else in store for you. It's your job to make sure you make the best out of what you have.

Navigating the Talking Stage: 21 Essential Questions to Ask for Connection

It's mandatory to have these conversations..

Whether you met your new love interest online , through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

1. What do you do for a living?

What someone does for a living can tell a lot about who they are and what they're interested in! Their career reveals a lot more about them than just where they spend their time to make some money.

2. What's your favorite color?

OK, I get it, this seems like something you would ask a Kindergarten class, but I feel like it's always good to know someone's favorite color . You could always send them that Snapchat featuring you in that cute shirt you have that just so happens to be in their favorite color!

3. Do you have any siblings?

This one is actually super important because it's totally true that people grow up with different roles and responsibilities based on where they fall in the order. You can tell a lot about someone just based on this seemingly simple question.

4. What's your favorite television show?

OK, maybe this isn't a super important question, but you have to know ASAP if you can quote Michael Scott or not. If not, he probably isn't the one. Sorry, girl.

5. When is your birthday?

You can then proceed to do the thing that every girl does without admitting it and see how compatible your zodiacs are.

6. What's your biggest goal in life?

If you're like me, you have big goals that you want to reach someday, and you want a man behind you who also has big goals and understands what it's like to chase after a dream. If his biggest goal is to see how quickly he can binge-watch " Grey's Anatomy " on Netflix , you may want to move on.

7. If you had three wishes granted to you by a genie, what would they be?

This is a go-to for an insight into their personality. Based on how they answer, you can tell if they're goofy, serious, or somewhere in between.

8. What's your favorite childhood memory?

For some, this may be a hard question if it involves a family member or friend who has since passed away . For others, it may revolve around a tradition that no longer happens. The answers to this question are almost endless!

9. If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?

We all have parts of our lives and stories that we wish we could change. It's human nature to make mistakes. This question is a little bit more personal but can really build up the trust level.

10. Are you a cat or a dog person?

I mean, duh! If you're a dog person, and he is a cat person, it's not going to work out.

11. Do you believe in a religion or any sort of spiritual power?

Personally, I am a Christian, and as a result, I want to be with someone who shares those same values. I know some people will argue that this question is too much in the talking stage , but why go beyond the talking stage if your personal values will never line up?

12. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Even homebodies have a must visit place on their bucket list !

13. What is your ideal date night?

Hey, if you're going to go for it... go for it!

14. Who was/is your celebrity crush?

For me, it was hands-down Nick Jonas . This is always a fun question to ask!

15. What's a good way to cheer you up if you're having a bad day?

Let's be real, if you put a label on it, you're not going to see your significant other at their best 24/7.

16. Do you have any tattoos?

This can lead to some really good conversations, especially if they have a tattoo that has a lot of meaning to them!

17. Can you describe yourself in three words?

It's always interesting to see if how the person you're talking to views their personal traits lines ups with the vibes you're getting.

18. What makes you the most nervous in life?

This question can go multiple different directions, and it could also be a launching pad for other conversations.

19. What's the best gift you have ever received? 

Admittedly, I have asked this question to friends as well, but it's neat to see what people value.

20. What do you do to relax/have fun?

Work hard, play hard, right?

21. What are your priorities at this phase of your life?

This is always interesting because no matter how compatible your personalities may be, if one of you wants to be serious and the other is looking for something casual, it's just not going to work.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in challah bread or easter bread.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

A few weeks ago, I was given a loaf of bread called Challah (pronounced like holla), and upon my first bite, I realized it tasted just like Easter Bread. It was so delicious that I just had to make some of my own, which I did.

The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients

2 tsp active dry or instant yeast 1 cup lukewarm water 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup white granulated sugar 2 tsp salt 2 large eggs 1 large egg yolk (reserve the white for the egg wash) 1/4 cup neutral-flavored vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Combine yeast and a pinch of sugar in small bowl with the water and stir until you see a frothy layer across the top.
  • Whisk together 4 cups of the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and add in eggs, egg yolk, and oil. Whisk these together to form a slurry, pulling in a little flour from the sides of the bowl.
  • Pour the yeast mixture over the egg slurry and mix until difficult to move.
  • Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and knead by hand for about 10 minutes. If the dough seems very sticky, add flour a teaspoon at a time until it feels tacky, but no longer like bubblegum. The dough has finished kneading when it is soft, smooth, and holds a ball-shape.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place somewhere warm. Let the dough rise 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Separate the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope roughly 1-inch thick and 16 inches long.
  • Gather the ropes and squeeze them together at the very top. Braid the pieces in the pattern of over, under, and over again. Pinch the pieces together again at the bottom.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and lift the loaf on top. Sprinkle the loaf with a little flour and drape it with a clean dishcloth. Place the pan somewhere warm and away from drafts and let it rise until puffed and pillowy, about an hour.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the reserved egg white with a tablespoon of water and brush it all over the challah. Be sure to get in the cracks and down the sides of the loaf.
  • Slide the challah on its baking sheet into the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking. The challah is done when it is deeply browned.

I kept wondering how these two breads could be so similar in taste. So I decided to look up a recipe for Easter Bread to make a comparison. The two are almost exactly the same! These recipes are similar because they come from religious backgrounds. The Jewish Challah bread is based on kosher dietary laws. The Christian Easter Bread comes from the Jewish tradition but was modified over time because they did not follow kosher dietary laws.

A recipe for Easter bread is as follows:

2 tsp active dry or instant yeast 2/3 cup milk 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 cup white granulated sugar 2 tbs butter 2 large eggs 2 tbs melted butter 1 tsp salt

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, salt, and yeast; stir well. Combine milk and butter in a small saucepan; heat until milk is warm and butter is softened but not melted.
  • Gradually add the milk and butter to the flour mixture; stirring constantly. Add two eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal size rounds; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each round into a long roll about 36 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick. Using the two long pieces of dough, form a loosely braided ring, leaving spaces for the five colored eggs. Seal the ends of the ring together and use your fingers to slide the eggs between the braids of dough.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place loaf on a buttered baking sheet and cover loosely with a damp towel. Place loaf in a warm place and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Brush risen loaf with melted butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Both of these recipes are really easy to make. While you might need to have a day set aside for this activity, you can do things while the dough is rising or in the oven. After only a few hours, you have a delicious loaf of bread that you made from scratch, so the time and effort is really worth it!

Unlocking Lake People's Secrets: 15 Must-Knows!

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer..

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake , have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart , no matter how dirty the water may look.

Every year when summer rolls back around, you can't wait to fire up the boat and get back out there. Here is a list of things you can probably identify with as a fellow lake-goer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

It's your place of escape, where you can leave everything else behind and just enjoy the beautiful summer day. No matter what kind of week you had, being able to come and relax without having to worry about anything else is the best therapy there is. After all, there's nothing better than a day of hanging out in the hot sun, telling old funny stories and listening to your favorite music.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

Whether you want to just hang out and float or go walk around on a beach, you know the best spots. These often have to be based on the people you're with, given that some "party coves" can get a little too crazy for little kids on board. I still have vivid memories from when I was six that scared me when I saw the things drunk girls would do for beads.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

When there's a long line of trucks waiting to dump their boats in the water, there's always that one clueless guy who can't get it right, and takes 5 attempts and holds up the line. No one likes that guy. One time my dad got so fed up with a guy who was taking too long that he actually got out of the car and asked this guy if he could just do it for him. So he got into the guy's car, threw it in reverse, and got it backed in on the first try. True story.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

Similar to the "jeep wave," almost everyone waves to other boats passing by. It's just what you do, and is seen as a normal thing by everyone.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Alcohol seems to be a big part of the lake experience, but other drinks are squeezed into the room remaining in the cooler for the kids, not to mention the wide assortment of chips and other foods in the snack bag.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

There's nothing worse than floating in the water, all settled in and minding your business, when some idiot barrels through. Now your anchor is loose, and you're left jostled by the waves when it was nice and perfectly still before. This annoyance is typically answered by someone yelling some choice words to them that are probably accompanied by a middle finger in the air.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

It's the lake, and some social expectations are a little different here, if not lowered quite a bit. When you have to go, you just go, and it's no big deal to anyone because they do it too.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

The number of anchors you go through as a boat owner is likely a number that can be counted on two hands. Every once in a while, it gets stuck on something on the bottom of the lake, and the only way to fix the problem is to cut the rope, and you have to replace it.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

If you're the typical lake-goer, you likely might have an average-sized boat that you're perfectly happy with. However, that doesn't mean you don't stop and stare at the fast boats that loudly speed by, or at the obnoxiously huge yachts that pass.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

You've learned this the hard way, coming back from a day in the water and seeing the flowers on your bathing suit that were once white, are now a nice brownish hue.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

If the driver knows how to give you a good ride, or just wants to specifically throw you off, you know you're done when you're speeding up and heading straight for a big wave. Suddenly you're airborne, knowing you're about to completely wipe out, and you eat pure wake. Then you get back on and do it all again.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

One of the many nice things about the life at the lake is that everybody cares about everything a little less. Rolling up to the place wearing only your swimsuit, a cover-up, and flip flops, you fit right in. After a long day when you're sunburned, a little buzzed, and hungry, you're served without any hesitation.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Every once in a while you're hit with technical difficulties, no matter what type of watercraft you have. This is one of the most annoying setbacks when you're looking forward to just having a carefree day on the water, but it's bound to happen. This is just one of the joys that come along with being a boat owner.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

One of the many interesting things that make up the lake culture is the fact that many people name their boats. They can range from basic to funny, but they are unique to each and every owner, and often have interesting and clever meanings behind them.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.

Summer is your all-time favorite season, mostly because it's spent at the lake. Whether you're floating in the cool water under the sun, or taking a boat ride as the sun sets, you don't have a care in the world at that moment . The people that don't understand have probably never experienced it, but it's what keeps you coming back every year.

essay about the teacher i will never forget

SuperbGrade.com

  • The Teacher Whom I Will Never Forget

The learning experience expressed in this narrative is about a teacher who used very good teaching methods and who enabled my peer to understand anatomy and physiological concepts very well. Other than using books, the teacher used songs and jokes during class sessions. Further, the use of PowerPoint enabled my peer to understand concepts better. More importantly, the caring nature of the teacher was important for the attention of the class. In the beginning, my peer hooks my attention by the description of her high school; down the hallways. Her description of the teacher, Mr. Sherden, is also another thing that hooked my attention at the beginning of the essay.

If this sample essay on "The Teacher Whom I Will Never Forget" doesn’t help, our writers will!

In this essay, the thesis statement is that having a well-rounded teacher really strengthens a students learning performance. Although this thesis statement is good it could be made better by specifically stating what my peer implied by a well rounded teacher. Perhaps, my peer could say a teacher who uses diverse teaching techniques instead of a well-rounded teacher. The other paragraphs of the essay support this thesis statement. Specifically, they show how the teacher was well rounded; how he used songs and visual PowerPoint to teach the students. Further, how he asked the students about their well-being supports the notion that he was well rounded.

The body paragraphs make use of descriptions and examples to make the narrative move along. Specifically, the description of the state of the class, as well as the nature of the teacher is not only vivid but also lucid. Mr. Sherden is described as a middle-aged man who always wore a button up and a tie. Additionally, there is the use of figurative language in the description. Specifically, she describes how the students moved into the classroom like a marching parade. Further, shutting the classroom is a sign that the teacher did not want any disturbance.

The writing of my peer has a very somber mood and a good tone. In this regard, from the way the learning environment is described to the nature of the teacher, I am left curious on the next turn of events. As such, I yearn to know what the next sentence talks about. To conclude the essay, my peer explains how the experience that she got from the anatomy and physiology class made her better prepared for the college education. Further, my peer appreciated the role that the teacher played in making her becomes a better student.

The narrative is composed of some strong and weak points. However, the strong points are more than the weak points. In this regard, the string point is when Mr. Sherden, the teacher, enters the classroom and greets the students. However, the weak point is when he shuts the classroom door so that no late student will get in. To make the draft stronger, I would add how the students who were late, and who were locked outside, reacted after the class. Additionally, I would explain the reaction of the teacher when the students who were late knocked the door. This way I will make the narrative stronger. The narrative does not have errors and grammatical mistakes except in the heading. The words teacher whom is wrong. It should have started with the article the teacher whom otherwise, the narrative had good grammar and few errors.

A teacher you will never forget

Does your teacher take the time to talk to you about your day? Does your teacher stay with you no matter what until you accomplish  as little as the math problem? Does your teachers heart shine across the entire school?  Well, my teacher Mrs.Bourne will do more than any teacher will ever do for her students. Mrs.Bourne is a Pre algebra teacher I had last year.  She has been teaching for a very long time and still has the passion to continue teaching for middle school. Mrs.Bourne is such an amazing teacher because she is very involved with students lives and has an extraordinary teacher style. Mrs.Bourne takes a lot of her time to talk her students about anything as little as what’s going on with their day.  She always wants to say hi with big grin on your face when you walk by her. I have a very memorable experience with her about how she cares a lot about her students. We have classes full of all girls at our school were we do team bonding activities and parties every week just for some little fun. I was not happy with the class I got assigned too because all of very close friends were with my math teacher, Mrs. Bourne. I just didn’t fit in and Mrs. Bourne saw that. I was generously offered a spot in her advisory. I will always be called now the sudo-adopted  child.  She made one of my favorite middle school memories with my best friends. She shows that she is not one of those teachers who just comes in classroom, teaches a lesson, says goodbye and locks her doors for the day. Mrs.Bourne is someone way different and better than that. Mrs. Bourne teaches in a very unique way that no one can teach besides her. She is very smart at what she teaches and never lets one lesson drag along. What I mean by that is that she always puts the same amount of effort, passion, and hard work into everything she teaches. We always do interesting, interactive activities in her class to test our knowledge. We played battleship to test our knowledge of quadrants.  I never had a math lesson from her where I couldn’t understand the lesson.  I always feel a spark of magic when I enter her room. I can always talk to her about anything math related or un math related. This goes right back to how she is so involved with students lives. As I conclude, Mrs.Bourne is such an amazing teacher because she is very involved with students lives and has an extraordinary teacher style. She personality just lights up the room like the fireworks at Walt Disney World. You can always come to her about anything and some how always has the best advice to give you. She is an astounding teacher that anyone would want to have.

A Teacher I Will Never Forget – Chan

essay about the teacher i will never forget

He got us interested in things that we weren’t supposed to be learning until the next year. He would add to our current topic by mentioning things like the meniscus or the periosteum saying “you will learn about these things in the next few years”.

When I got into Year 9 or 10 I reencountered these phrases and I was familiar with them! I hope to take two sciences at IB and do Genetics in the future.

As our Senior Head of House I remember him standing on the sidelines during Year 7, inter -House netball cheering us on and shouting praise. He is a really encouraging teacher that has inspired me each year.

Essay 1 (250 Words)

Introduction

Life is full of different types of experiences. Everyday passing in our life is not the same. Moreover, is not possible for us to remember every day of our life but there are days or moments of life that are memorable. It is not easy for us to forget that day or the event. The happening of any beautiful or sad event makes that day to be unforgettable from our memories.

The day could be a life-changing moment

There are special moments in everyone’s life. These moments make the day to be the one that we could never forget in our life. These moments could be a bad or good experience. These moments are life-changing moments in the life of many people. We have heard people saying that this incident changed my life totally. It could be something good like getting success, being awarded, finding love, marriage, or bad like death, accident, getting to know about some incurable disease, etc. The reason can be many but the effect of that incident is long-lasting and that day cannot be wiped out from our memory easily.

Complete lockdown due to the outbreak of covid-19 – A day that I could never forget

The days were passing and we were busy in the preparation of the festival of Holi in March 2020. Suddenly there was news shown on the television that state lockdown has been imposed for two days. Later this lockdown was converted into a nationwide lockdown on 25th March 2020. I never had experienced the lockdown before this happened. Everything was stopped in a moment and this kind of situation has never happened before. Therefore this day became an everlasting memory in the life of many people among us.

We cannot go back to the past and live any moment that we want. The memories of these days help us in remembering the same and making that moment alive for us.

I have provided the experience of the never forgetting day of my life in the form of a long essay below. I think it might give you an idea about writing an essay on this topic.

Essay 2 (950 Words) – Unforgettable Moment in My Life Essay

Days and times fly by so fast. Every day in our life is not alike. If we think about our past days it is not easy for us to remember every past day. There are some days that we cannot forget easily and it becomes an everlasting memory for us. We either get excited or depressed when we remind ourselves of the everlasting event of life. It depends upon our experience.

What is an Unforgettable Memory?

I hope nobody in this world has ever thought that any normal day will become an everlasting memory for them. This is such a moment of our life that remains in our memories till we are alive. It can be a good or bad memory. If it is a happy memory we want it to be continued throughout our life ever while if it is sad we never want it to happen again in our life. In both cases, the event becomes unforgettable for us. When we ever face the question about explaining a day that we can never forget, this is the event that first comes to our mind.

My Experiences: Unforgettable Days in My Life

I want to share with you the memories of a day that I can never forget in my life. I really wish this didn’t happen to anyone else in this world. I really become sad whenever I recall the incident. It was a normal day like other days in routine life. I woke up early in the morning and was ready to go to school. Everything went in an easy way as usual. My classes were over and after spending some time with my friends I returned back to my home. I did not go to the coaching classes on that day as I was a little tired and was not feeling well.

In the evening, I was having tea-time with my family. Suddenly someone knocked on my door. She was an aunt in my neighborhood. She told me that one of your school students has committed suicide and the case has come under my husband’s supervision for the postmortem. I was a little sad after hearing this news but continued my activities further.

The Shocking News – There was a phone call on my father’s mobile phone at that time as I was not having my personal mobile phone. I was shocked by what I heard. The student that had committed suicide was none other than my best friend. I really could not understand what to do at that time. Even I could never believe what I heard. Every time I remembered about the afternoon time that we spent together. I never thought that this was the last time I was meeting with her. I could not cry at that moment as I was shocked after hearing this news. I was not having the courage to visit her house or see the dead body. Since it was suicide it became a police case. We have been questioned two or three times in our school premises by the police officers in the investigation of the case.

Later it was confirmed that she was suffering from depression. I knew about this but never thought that she would take the decision of ending her life. She was a meritorious student in the school. There was one day holiday as condolence for her soul. Not only that day but the whole month has been very bad for me. I could not sleep peacefully for many nights.

My friend committed suicide just before one day of her birthday. I was very depressed and sad because I lost her and at the same time was very angry also. I never thought of her to be such a coward to commit suicide. Later I tried to console myself by the thought that it was destiny and could never be changed.

Effects of that Day in My Life – It is because of that day in my life I never tried to make anybody my best friend in my life. It is because everything happened suddenly and I was shocked from inside. Moreover, a fear of losing someone precious from my life has developed in my mind from that day. I think I cannot give her place to anyone in my life. She is still and always will be with me in my memories. I find it very hard to remove the memories of this day in my life.

Are Unforgettable Memories Special for Us?

Man is the most blessed form of the creation of god on this earth. It is because we have been provided with the brain that has a memorizing capacity. The event that we remember becomes happy or sad memories for us. The memories are always special either it is happy or sad because it makes us think about our past events of life. It may happen that some of them would cherish us with a smile and some may bring tears to our eyes. The most important thing is that it connects us with our past events and people that had lived in our previous life experiences and thus these memories are special for us.

The death day of my best friend is a never forgetting memory in my life to date. I cannot forget this because this happened suddenly. This is the day when I realized the value of a friend especially a best friend in my life. I hope that she would be happy wherever she is now and god may give a lot of courage to her parents to endure this loss and pain.

“The Student I Will Never Forget”

We all have one or two.

The Students Teachers Will Never Forget

We can never choose ONE favorite student. But there are always those students that leave a deeper impression. Whether we butted heads or recognized their indomitable spirits, some students are just unforgettable.

Recently, on our WeAreTeachers Facebook page,  we asked teachers to tell us the stories of the students they will never forget. Some were funny, others were moving, but all of them show the dedication we have to helping our students be the best they can be.

The student who came around.

I had a student that I butted heads with every single day. She was so capable but fought me on everything. I never gave up on her and continued to encourage her, even with her fighting me every step of the way. Her last day of high school, she came to my room and hugged me, thanking me for pushing her and never giving up. Pretty sure I cried. —Cassie T.

The “bad” kid who just wanted someone to love him.

My second year of teaching, I had a little one who had been held back. He came from a rough family and had a reputation for being the “bad” kid. But, he was so, so sweet. He just wanted someone to love him. I was pregnant with my first, and one day he wrapped his arms around me and placed his chin on my belly. He said, “I wish I was that baby in your belly so you could be my mama.” I think about him all the time. —Rebecca W.

[contextly_auto_sidebar]

A student who fought the odds.

He was a seventh grader. This boy took care of his siblings, tried so hard to keep up with school work, and was struggling not to get pulled into gang life. He brought a BB gun to school to return it to a friend and was expelled. His parents either couldn’t or wouldn’t go to court with him, so he wasn’t let back into school. I moved away right after and hadn’t heard what happened to him. I thought the worst until he found me on Facebook to tell me that he got his GED, went to college, and is now a youth pastor with a family. —Mandy W.

The student who proved me right.

My first year teaching, I was blessed to have a girl with Down syndrome. She had an aide who I became very close to (and we’ve remained friends since), and I was told by my principal at the time that “she’ll never be able to read, so focus on the rest of your first graders.” Challenge accepted! As soon as she was able to read a book on her own, I proudly walked down with her in tow, to his office so he could hear her read. I will NEVER forget her, and I keep in contact with her family to this day. She’s doing GREAT! —Amanda L.

May he rest in peace.

I had a student who struggled with school and home life after coming out. He was the most loving kid with the greatest smile. I was so incredibly proud to watch him cross the stage at graduation. He wanted to go into education and would have been absolutely a gift to those who worked with him. He passed away due to an overdose not too long after. If only he know just how loved he was by the staff and our community.—Alexia S.

The student who used music to help find his way.

In one of my piano classes, I got a senior. Kind of the jock type, his parents were teachers at the school, and he was really popular and well known. He had been in band in elementary school but never stuck with it. In one year of piano class, he worked so hard he played Scott Joplin’s Entertainer for his final. (The real version, not an easy one). As he was leaving that day, he stopped and told me something I’ll never forget. We had a school shooting the year before. No one died, but it was traumatic for everyone. He had been in the classroom where it happened. He told me he had been so angry since then. And he didn’t have anywhere to put that emotion until he took piano. And he thanked me for helping him discover this place where he could focus and sort out his emotions in a positive way. Yeah. Those are the moments. —Amanda O.

A strong bond was formed.

I had a seventh grader wise beyond her years. She and I would share glances when something stupid was happening in class. She would dye her hair all sorts of colors. We had our own book club. She would bring me song lyrics that meant something to her. When she went to eighth grade, she would come by my first period every Monday to share memes she saved just for me thought the previous week. When she couldn’t come, I missed her. —Shanna A.

A student who inspired me.

He had brain cancer (diagnosed in kindergarten, I had him in the 6th grade). Regardless of all the hardships he’d faced, he was always positive and kind to others. We developed a really close bond during that year together. Since then, his cancer came back, but he’s still fighting with everything he’s got, and he’s a huge inspiration to me and our school community. We’ve renamed an award at our school after him, and I’ve got a tattoo in honor of him (a line from a speech he gave to his classmates, along with the date of his first day in my class, and my first official day as a teacher) on my left forearm, so I can’t forget him even if I wanted to! This year, he’s passed his driver’s test, and he’s graduating from high school! I’m inspired by his spirit and strength every single day. —Christopher B.

The student who won me over.

A student really got on my nerves at the beginning of the first semester because of his behavior. Now, he comes by every morning and sometimes during transitions to talk to me about his day, and I actually look forward to his visits. —DeAndre F.

The student who went from hating me to standing up for me.

I had a kid who hated me and would push my limits. I finally pulled him aside. Instead of getting on him for his behavior, I asked what he needed in order to be successful. I told him what I needed. We agreed to make an effort. He told me no one had ever asked him. They always just labeled him as the bad kid. I said, I don’t see that in you. I believe in you and want to have a good semester with you. Our relationship blossomed from there. One of the units we did was reading strategies through watching “Dead Poets Society.” If you have seen the movie, you’ll understand how impactful his actions were. On my last day, he stood up on his desk and said, “O’ Captain, my Captain.” One by one, each kid stood up and did the same. He had secretly been planning this with the class for weeks. I will never forget him or that moment. —Amber B.

There’s always that one.

With all of its ups and downs, tough days and inspiring moments, there’ll always be those students teachers will never forget.

Hop over to our WeAreTeachers Facebook group to tell us about the students who YOU will never forget.

‘Always respect your teachers’

Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh

Two incidents remain etched in my memory as defining moments in my young life. I had always seen people bow before my father Maharaja Yadavindra Singh, however I saw him touch the feet of his teacher, Professor Dhani Ram. I also distinctly remember my house master Mr Nayar. He unerringly hit his target every time he turned around to throw the chalk.I have learnt that one must always respect one’s teachers above everything and everyone.Nowadays, the relationship between students and teachers has become commercial in nature like that of a client and a businessman.

‘I learnt patriotism’

Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar

I vividly recall my Class 9 and 10 English teacher KL Gera, who was pivotal in shaping my personality. He taught me at the government school in Bhali Anandpur, Rohtak. He used to focus on character building and his style of teaching was very engaging.He often said ‘make yourself necessary to the world, the world will give you bread.’Honesty, integrity, patriotism, selflessness and working for the welfare of society are among the many lessons I learnt from him.Earlier, students used to revere their guru; they believed that his place was next to God. Now, the relationship between teachers and students is akin to a ‘contract’.

‘Lesson in punctuality’

Himachal Pradesh CM Jai Ram Thakur

I owe a debt of gratitude to Bihari Lal Sharma, the headmaster of Government High School, Bagsiad, in Mandi district. His dedication, professionalism and commitment were unmatched.He taught me to be punctual, sincere and hardworking. These three qualities are my guiding force even today. I’m indebted to him for life.In the traditional setting, the guru-shishya parampara (culture) was venerated. The guru used to impart spiritual and academic knowledge and education was aimed at transforming a blank mind into a knowledgeable one. Today, teachers and students are more like friends. But still the word evokes respect.

‘Teaching impersonal now’

Lt Gen DS Hooda (retd) former GOC-in -C, Northern Command

As I look back to my days at St Columba’s School, Delhi, the one consistent image is that of Brother O’Farrell. A handsome Irishman with a beaked nose, walking the corridors hands behind his back and head slightly bowed as if always in thought.He not only taught us the nuances of English but also moral values to guide us through life. We were inspired by the manner in which he made the school his whole life and teaching us a mission.Teaching has become impersonal. This was perhaps inevitable because society has transformed. I mourn the passing away of the strong bond that bound the teacher and the taught together.

Devoted to ‘first wife’

Dr Raj Bahadur vice-chancellor, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot

Sardar Kashmira Singh and Sardar Dilbagh Singh taught me math and history. Professor Duggal and professor DK Sharma taught me zoology and physical chemistry. In medical college, professor OP Bhardwaj, professor Lugani, DS Puri, RN Malik, V Padubidri were my mentors. The teachers who made an orthopaedist of me are professors SM Tulli and ON Nagi.Each one focused on hard work and meticulous devotion to the subject. Professor Tulli taught me that since we are known for our profession, our specialty should be treated as our “first wife”.Change in student-teacher ratio; upbringing of kids in nuclear families; and indulgence in internet.

‘He carved windows in our soul’

Prof B N Goswamy, art historian

I have very fond memories Pandit Parsram, my history professor at Government College, Hoshiarpur. He used to teach us ancient Indian history, and I can never forget his lessons. He never referred to any book he was using, he had it all in his head. The best part was that he would explain episodes from ancient India by drawing parallels with world history . He was a historian in the real sense of the term. He was inclusive, not narrow. He opened your mind to do many other things. He brought perspective and depth to his subject. He carved windows in our soul. I learnt the importance of keeping an open mind and being inclusive.

‘Work hard and be disciplined’

Suresh Arora director general of police, Punjab

My math tutor Mr Sardesi left a lasting impression on me. He delivered home tuitions when I was a Class 7 student at ND Paul Public School, Sector 21, in Chandigarh. Whenever I made a mistake, Mr Sardesi pinched my thighs and I would cry out in pain. He did this to ensure that I realised my mistake. I remember him saying, “In life we have to pay for every mistake. The only way to prevent mistakes is to work hard and be disciplined.”I have observed a marked decrease in the personal interaction between teachers and students. The overall development of students has suffered because of this.

‘Pious profession ’

Nirmal Kumar Singh Speaker, J&K and former deputy CM

My guide ML Kapoor, a former head of the history department at Jammu University. Since my student days to my appointment as history professor, he had a big role in my career.Hard work, consistency and honesty. He taught me the real meaning of teacher-student relation. I was like a family member for him. Materialism has overtaken academics. Teachers work for a salary, while students believe they are only doing their job. It is not a barter system and can’t be measured in terms of money. Teaching is a pious profession and its sanctity has to be maintained.

‘Teaching is a bilateral process’

Dr Jagat Ram Director, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research

Professor Amod Gupta, professor emeritus at PGIMER, left a lasting impression on me during my medical residency training and again when I joined as a faculty member.He always said if you want to excel at a speciality you must put your heart and soul into it. He emphasised on providing ethical patient care and treating patients with empathy.There has been a downward slide in the teacher-student relationship over the years. Teaching is a bilateral process. A good teacher can inspire students, however the student should also reciprocate by giving respect to teacher.

‘Hard work conquers All’

KR Lakhanpal former chief secretary, Punjab

Lala Sant Ram Sood, our headmaster at Khalsa School where I studied from Class 5 to 10, greatly inspired me. He was a symbol of communal harmony. He taught the unprivileged children for free. My social studies teacher Kartar Singh and math teacher Lal Chand also left a lasting impression on me. I have learnt that if one is disciplined and hardworking, everything else falls into place. There is no substitute for hard work.Education, health, environment and sanitation need a missionary touch to make an impact. Unfortunately, over the years teaching has turned mercenary in nature.

‘Help your juniors ’

Neeraj Chopra Asian Games gold medallist

My senior Jaiveer Singh, who introduced me to javelin, is my first teacher and I am what I am all because of him. He not only taught me the basics of the sport, but also encouraged me to believe in myself. Always support and guide your juniors without any motive. Jaiveer also taught me to work with sincerity and give my 100 percent. The relationship between teacher-student depends a lot on teachers. I got a wonderful teacher and will always be thankful to him for being my senior or rather my mentor.

‘Learnt compassion’

Manoj Kumar Dhar vice-chancellor, Jammu University

Professor AK Koul, who was my guide while I was pursuing PhD in the field of biochemistry, has been my role model and inspiration.I believe that education is not only limited to classroom learning. It also encompasses values such as sincerity, hard work, perseverance and compassion.In our days, teachers used to be strict and the respect they got from their students was mostly out of fear. However, over the years, students find it easier to approach their teachers.

‘Be mindful in all you do ’

Neelam Man Singh Chowdhry theatre personality

The first teacher who left an indelible impact on me is art historian Dr BN Goswamy, who taught me language, precision and the way to view the visual world. At National School of Drama, Ibrahim Alkazi taught me art was hard and must be viewed with the same seriousness as other professions. From BV Karanth I learnt that art is celebration and a lifelong commitment. Whatever you do must be done with mindfulness.I have been a teacher for 30 years and I take my role with utmost seriousness. The quality of students is getting better every year. They want to challenge themselves while partnering with the teacher.

‘Always stood by me’

Rani Balbir Kaur theatre actor-director

Kanta Atma Ram, who taught us English at the Government College of Girls, Sector 11, was the ideal teacher for me. She was brilliant at literature but never forgave indiscipline or casual approach to work.I learnt that a teacher should be mix of kindness and strictness. She always stood by me. I received many accolades from her for my singing and reprimands for neglecting academics.I have been teaching throughout my life and feel that students want to reach out to teachers. I believe we are not grooming our students the way our teachers groomed us.

‘Guru-shishya parampara unimpeachable’

Prof Raj Kumar Vice-chancellor, Panjab University

l have been blessed to have commendable teachers throughout my life. All of them guided me and contributed to my life in one way or the other. The memories of my teachers who taught me at primary level in my village school have left a long-lasting impression on me.I learnt the value of time, discipline, consistency and hard work from my teachers and these values continue to inspire me.In this evolving society in the era of changing technology, the basic ethics still remain the same. Being from management discipline, I am a firm believer in the guru-shishya parampara, which is unimpeachable.

Holistic development

Jaspal Singh Sandhu Vice-chancellor, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar

SP Kanwal, the head of the botany department at DAV College, Amritsar, left a lasting impression on me as he not only taught his subject but also generated interest in literature, art and environment conservation among students of pre-medical classes.He believed in holistic development of students and did not confine himself to botany. There is disconnect between teachers and students now. Interaction between the two sides has reduced. Teacher-student ties are mechanical unlike earlier when teachers treated students like their children.

Kindled flame of learning

Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi (retd) former vice-chief of the army staff

Sister Charles Miriam was my favourite teacher at Nazareth Academy, Gaya, Bihar. We were in awe of her as she was a strict disciplinarian. She had a reservoir of knowledge, which she shared with me. She made me a seeker of knowledge.Her life lessons were to be confident, have a zest for life, be humble, yet firm, lead by example and take calculated risks to achieve your aim.The guru-shishya parampara is forgotten. Today, the teacher-student ratio is skewed for monetary reasons. The emphasis is on marks with hardly any personal attention.

Made me what I am

Gulzar Singh Sandhu Punjabi writer

Two teachers who taught me at Sri Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa School, Mahilpur, left a lasting impression on me. The first, my Class 9 science teacher, discerned I had little talent for science and asked me to take up Punjabi. The second, Sujaan Singh, encouraged me to write for college magazine.I learnt that an insightful teacher can help you realise the best in you and chart the course of your life.There is a sea change in teacher-student interaction. Earlier, we used to step aside on seeing a teacher, nowadays students happily jostle past their teachers.

Table of Contents

Introduction

The experiences we have in life are a mix of positive and bad. Almost everyone has something unforgettable in their lives. There are two types of bad ones: good ones and bad ones. No matter how long we live, this experience will never be forgotten. The event can also change our lives forever. There must be at least one memorable day or event in every person’s life that they can never forget. It is one of the memories I will never be able to forget in my life too.

50 Words Essay on A Day I Will Never Forget In English

 There are some days that remain in our minds forever, whether they are happy or sad. The day I left the city where I was born will always be etched in my memory. A new city was assigned to my father. The day I had to leave my house was a very sad day for me.

Leaving my friends for the last time was a very painful experience. It was very hard to say goodbye to everyone along the way. This was my last time seeing these surroundings, and I felt sad. My lunch was the only thing I ate that day. It was very hard for me to find words to describe how much I cried and begged my parents not to leave. I still feel sad when I remember that day.

250 Words Essay on A Day I Will Never Forget In English

Sunny and hot weather greeted us that day. My mother called me inside to eat something while I was lying on my back in the front yard. I heard my mother gently call out, “Come, take a bite of this sandwich or two,” as she gently beckoned me to take a bite.

In general, I was a bit of an uncontrollable child when I was growing up, or perhaps you could say naughty. My response was to pretend that I wasn’t aware of what she said. She just said: “Okay, then.” as she is a clever mother. You’ll need to buy bread, I think. The way she said it this time wasn’t so gentle. Due to my failure to respond when I was called, I received this punishment.

Thus, I hurriedly went inside. Unfortunately, it was too late. My mother already had the money in her hands. Her grin spread across her face as she said: “Better now than later when you get hungry…” I began to frown, saying: “Hayi, hayi, hayi, mama!” This means: “No, no, no, mama!”.

The wonderful grin on my mother’s face turned into a huge, horrible frown! Her voice was the most horrendous I’ve ever heard. The way she spoke to me sounded like a lion roaring at its prey: “Amanda, don’t test or I will…”.

In fact, I ran out of the door before she could finish her sentence. I was crossing the street in a hurry when a car slammed into me out of nowhere. The driver asked with concern. “Are you all right?” the driver asked concernedly. The car hit me like a bull tackling a matador in a bullfight, and I’m not sure if those were his exact words.

It had taken me a long time to realize what had happened because I had run like a horse all the way home. This incident has never been brought up with my mother. I found it strange that all my mother noticed was that I wasn’t hungry anymore. The only thing she said was: “Did you eat from this bread, little one? It made us both laugh. My memories of this day will last a lifetime.

400 Words Essay on A Day I Will Never Forget In English

It was a happy childhood for me, thanks to my loving parents and the big brown house my parents lived in. A big brown house and two loving parents made me a happy child. I used to spend hours playing hide-and-seek or tagging with my friends in my backyard during the summer. As children, we would pretend to be explorers searching for old treasures or knights battling evil dragons to save princesses.

A brown and white trim was also seen on the house next door. We felt like we were in an enchanted forest with its huge trees shading our backyard. The snow that accumulated at the edge of our yards in the winter would be used to make snowmen. In the end, we made angels by piling all our clothes on top of one another instead of making snowmen out of them.

Laughter echoed off the walls as I ran up and down the stairs. I used to play this game with my sister. Running up and down the stairs was a game we would take turns playing. It was a race between the bottom and top to see who could catch the other. Getting caught meant going up and down again.

During our daily activities, we never paid attention to how much energy we used or how it affected our hearts, lungs, and muscles. It just seemed like fun to us. When he was a boy, my dad used to tell me stories. Sitting there and listening to him tell me stories from his childhood, I would hear stories about my dad as a boy.

Whenever he talked about fishing with his friends, he’d tell me about it. At times, they caught something, but at other times, they had nothing to show for their efforts. Whenever he spoke too much at school, he got into trouble, and if the teacher saw him chewing gum in class, he got into even more trouble.

The stories he told always made me laugh. His life had never been better. One of the most memorable days of my life. His life was at its best during that time. It will always be a memorable day for me. Looking up at him from the front row, I was in the front row. When he said, “This is the best day of my whole life,” he looked directly at me.

Conclusion,

A moment cannot be relived in the past. Remembering these days helps us make those moments alive for us and keep them alive in our minds.

How to Write on Title: A Day I Will Never Forget

remember photo

Normal everyday experiences are easy to forget. That is because they vibrate at low frequencies in our minds. Can you remember the time you bought a bottle of soft drink on a cloudy afternoon about three years ago? Maybe, maybe not.

But there are some things that stand out in memory. These things are easy to remember, and some difficult to forget. That’s right, there are some days we will most likely “never forget.”

These are days in which we have experiences that create a high frequency of vibration in our minds.

When writing about a day you will never forget, here are some possible scenarios to choose from.

Sadness : Death, saying goodbye, loss of something.

Natural Disasters : Hurricane, tornado, earthquakes, volcano, floods, etc.

Happiness : Received something, such as an exceptional birthday present from parents. Got a promotion or the job of your dreams. Met a new family member.

Man-made Disasters : War, building collapsing, accidents, etc.

Embarrassing experiences : What could this be?

Now read this story which I helped one of my English students, Rosemary, to write. It is entitled “A Day I will never forget, and I revolves around the theme of “sadness.”

A day I'll never forget

The day was hot and sunny. I was lying in the front yard on my back when my mother called me inside to have something to eat.

“Come, my darling, and take a piece of a sandwich or two,” my mother gently called.

But, I was always a bit of an uncontrollable child – or might I say, a naughty child – when I was growing up. So I pretended that I didn’t hear her. As my mother is a clever mom, she just said: “Okay then. I think that you are going to have to go and buy bread. This time she didn’t say it so gently. This was punishment for not responding when I was called.

So, I quickly went inside. But, it was too little too late. The money was already in my mother’s hands. With a grin on her face, she said: “Better now than when you start to get hungry…”

I started to frown, saying, “Hayi, hayi, hayi, mama!” That is: “No, no, no, mama” in isiXhosa.

My mother’s wonderful grin turned to a frown – a big horrible frown! She spoke in the most horrible voice – I think she sounded like a lion roaring at its prey – letting me know clearly: “Amanda, don’t test or I will…”

Before she even finished her sentence, I ran out of the door, heading straight for the shop.

When I was crossing the road in a hurry, a car came out of the blue and knocked me out.

“Are you OK?” the driver asked with concern. I’m still not sure if those were his exact words because I was dizzy from the car hitting me like a bull tackling the matador in a bull fight.

By the time I realised what had happened, I had run so fast – like a horse in the Durban July – all the way home.

Until this day, I’ve never told my mother about this incident. How strange it is that all my mother noticed was that I was not hungry anymore.

She only said: “What, did you eat from this bread, little child?” I laughed, she laughed.

I will never forget this day.

Narrative Essay on The Day I never forget

There are moments in life that leave an indelible mark on our hearts and minds, shaping us into who we are. These experiences, often unexpected, can change our perspective, teach us valuable lessons, or simply remind us of the beauty and fragility of life. One such day that I will never forget occurred during the summer before my final year of high school, a day that started like any other but ended up teaching me about courage, loss, and the power of community.

The Morning Calm

The day began with the usual tranquility of a summer morning. The sun’s golden rays gently pierced through my window, casting a warm glow across my room. Birds chirped harmoniously, creating a melody that signaled the start of a new day. I woke up feeling refreshed and eager to enjoy my day off from school and part-time job responsibilities. Little did I know, this day would be far from ordinary.

The Unexpected Call

As I was enjoying my breakfast, the phone rang, shattering the morning’s peace. It was my friend Alex, whose voice trembled with urgency. “There’s a huge fire at the community center!” he exclaimed. My heart skipped a beat. The community center was not just a building; it was the heart of our small town, a place where people of all ages came together for various activities and support. Without a second thought, I told Alex I would meet him there.

The Scene at the Community Center

Arriving at the community center, I was met with a scene of chaos and desperation. Thick plumes of smoke billowed into the sky, and flames devoured the structure that had stood as a beacon of unity in our community. Firefighters battled the blaze, but the fire’s ferocity was overwhelming. Community members gathered, many in tears, as they watched decades of memories turn to ash.

Joining the Effort

Despite the despair that hung heavy in the air, there was a sense of unity among the onlookers. People started organizing, offering whatever help they could. I joined a group of volunteers helping to move equipment and salvageable items from the parts of the building not yet engulfed by flames. The heat was intense, and the smoke made it difficult to see and breathe, but the collective determination to save what we could, fueled our efforts.

A Lesson in Courage and Loss

As the day wore on, the reality of the situation sank in. The fire, sparked by an electrical fault, had consumed much of the community center. The loss was not just physical; it was emotional. Programs for children, support groups for the elderly, and spaces for community gatherings were gone. Yet, amid the loss, there was courage. The bravery of the firefighters, risking their lives to contain the fire, and the resilience of the community, coming together in the face of adversity, taught me about the strength of the human spirit.

The Power of Community

In the days that followed, the true power of community became evident. Fundraisers were organized, and plans were made to rebuild the community center. People from all walks of life contributed in whatever way they could, showing that the spirit of our community was not lost but strengthened by the tragedy. This collective effort highlighted the importance of community support and resilience.
