A child idolizes his teachers more than anyone else in his life. We all have our ideals in our lives who inspire and motivate us. A Teacher is like a God to the child. In our Indian culture, a Teacher is given utmost importance. A Teacher not only teaches the students about things in the world, educates them and shares with them his knowledge and wisdom but also acts as a spiritual guide for his students because he leads them on the path of truth, light, eternal wisdom and everlasting virtues.

I study in Tagore Public School. There are about 30 teachers in my school. Some of them take my classes. Some are teaching me this year and there are others who haven't taught me still. Nevertheless, I know them all. I like all my teachers. They all are very kind and loving. But my favourite teacher is Mr. Sharma.

He is our Math's Teacher, He is a middle-aged man with an average built and height, with a very pleasant smile. He is intelligent and a master of his subject. This is one quality that impresses all the students. He is very disciplined but not so strict, so students are not terrified of him- In fact, we feel at ease when he is around. He makes Mathematics so easy for all of us that we all enjoy it. We eagerly wait for his period everyday and feel very sad when he is absent.

He is very soft-spoken, kind gentle, helping and caring. He is always ready to listen patiently to the problems of the students. He never refuses any child for help. So many times he goes out of his way to help students. All these qualities makes him a favourite not only of mine but of all the students. He is our games  incharge  also. So we all enjoy playing games under his supervision.                     

My reasons for liking him are many. Last year when I had fallen ill and could not go to school for many days, he got so worried that he himself came and inquired about me at my place. My parents and I too felt so good. He then helped me to cope up with the loss of studies that I had suffered due to jaundice. In fact, he used to come often with fruits or something or the other and read stories to me. He made me feel special. I feel. I owe a lot to him for my speedy recovery.

Since then, he has become a regular visitor of my family. But one thing I admire about him is that he is neither partial nor biased. All he demands of his students is to study sincerely and work hard. He is very dedicated towards his work and profession. He is very honest, simple and clear-hearted.   

Teachers like him are a fine example of simple living and high thinking. The country needs more devoted and dedicated teachers like him- Students work even harder when they have such inspiring examples before them. He also helps poor students of our class with books and feel more motivated to study and help each other.

That is why. his class result is the best every year. The Principal, other teachers and all the students are very proud of him.
