I would like to talk about someone who truly changed my life, my English teacher. She was this amazing kind and open-hearted woman who taught me back in secondary school. I first met her when I was in class 6, so I must have been about 11 or 12 years old. It was the often new school year and I can still picture that moment clearly. It happened in our classroom. She walked in with a big smile carrying a stick of books and introduced herself as our new English teacher. She was absolutely gorgeous. At the time I wasn’t excited at all. Honestly, I didn’t even want to learn English. I thought it was boring and way too hard. I would struggle with the grammar and I would get so frustrated trying to understand it. But she saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. One day after a test she poked me and said, I want to teach you English. You have got the talent for this subject. I couldn’t believe it. I thought she was joking. She afforded to be my tutor and started spending extra time with me after school. Even sometimes I was confused. She was always by my side cheering me on. Because of her I went from reading English to excel with English.

I would like to talk about someone who truly changed my life, my English teacher. She was this amazing, kind, and open-hearted woman who taught me back in secondary school. I first met her when I was in class 6, so I must have been about 11 or 12 years old. It was the start of a new school year, and I can still picture that moment clearly. It happened in our classroom. She walked in with a big smile, carrying a stack of books, and introduced herself as our new English teacher. She was absolutely wonderful. At the time, I wasn't excited at all. Honestly, I didn't even want to learn English. I thought it was boring and way too hard. I struggled with the grammar and got so frustrated trying to understand it. But she saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. One day, after a test, she approached me and said, 'I want to teach you English. You have the talent for this subject.' I couldn't believe it. I thought she was joking. She offered to be my tutor and started spending extra time with me after school. Even when I was confused, she was always by my side, cheering me on. Because of her, I went from struggling with English to excelling in it.
