On the eve of Teachers day I sit and think back on all those amazing teachers who made me what I am today .
My mother - my first teacher . It makes 18 months tomorrow . She taught me to be a gentleman first and all else afterwards. To be truthful, helpful and kind to those less fortunate.
Thank you darling mum . Miss you .
Then there were so many others who in some way or the other left a mark . Joe Shanker, Mr Trevor Bunting , Carl Dcruze, Tony Macleod , Ian Scott, Mr Flynn, Winston Gardner, Russell Gardner , Mr Lawrence , Mrs Penanthony, Mrs Gomes and many others . Then there were teachers I worked with as a young man . Mr Roberts , Mr Beaman and Mr Ringrow. The list goes on.
Teachers still belong to one of the lowest paid professions but what you get when you teach a great lesson more than makes up for the meagre salary . The look on the face of engaged pupils says it all.
Then of course the thrill of meeting pupils after decades . They still recognise and respect their teachers . No money can buy that respect .
Happy Teachers day one and all. Colleagues and friends in this profession- always remember with pride - We are in a Noble Profession and let's never forget that.
Cheers and God bless
