In fact, there are a uh. Lot of teachers who I am grateful forill now. And if I’m going to talk about one person, it wouldn’t be fair for the other teachers. But um. The one I’m going to talk about is my uh. English and English teacher. Uh, he’s always supportive and kind of the one who helps, uh, each student. I uh, remember the first day he introduced uh, himself to us. Not just as a teacher, but as a guide and mentor. Um, and not just in classes, but also in our life. Uh, he has a calm and warm smile. And uh. His classes were always interactive and entertaining. And he insist he usually insisted on making every students participate in the classes. And wanted to engage every one of us. And he asked when he finishes his class and uh. There is some time to do or the class to end, he tried to ask us uh, some questions like what do you want to be in the future? And um, not just the question this way, but he ask us following questions like if someone said, I want to be uh, a doctor. He said, why do you want to be a doctor? And not a specialty. Uh. And these questions uh, made us to think, yeah, uh, why really do I need to be a doctor? Or why really do I need to be an engineer? And I remember that, uh. One of our students at that time who told him, I want to be engineer. And he told him, why do you want to be engineer? He told us. And then he answered, I want to engineer. Build uh. To have a role in building the city or shaping uh. Uh, the modern infrastructures. And he got to this answer or by this uh. Veion by the questions that he askeds him a lot. And uh. He made us always uh. Participate in the classes. And these his questions and repeated uh, questions made the students feel he is really like commor not just um, a teacher.

There are many teachers I'm grateful for, but if I had to choose one, it wouldn't be fair to the others. I'll talk about my English teacher. He was always supportive and a true guide for each student. I remember the first day he introduced himself, not just as a teacher, but as a mentor, someone who cared about our lives beyond the classroom. He had a calm and warm smile, and his classes were always interactive and engaging. He insisted on making every student participate, wanting to involve each of us. After class, he'd ask us questions like, 'What do you want to be in the future?' He wouldn't just accept a simple answer. He'd follow up with questions like, 'Why do you want to be a doctor?' or 'Why do you want to be an engineer?' These questions made us think deeply about our aspirations. I remember one student who told him he wanted to be an engineer. The teacher asked, 'Why?' The student replied, 'I want to build things, to have a role in shaping the city and modern infrastructure.' He arrived at this answer through the teacher's thoughtful questioning. He always encouraged us to participate in class, and his repeated questions made us feel like he genuinely cared about us, not just as students. After class, we'd often see him and he'd always be willing to talk and offer support.
