Teachers have always been among the most important individuals in my life. What I have able to glean from their experience, dedication, and expertise, has allowed me to appreciate the necessity of teachers in the life of an individual, and how these people fulfill a vital role in our growth and development. In addition to conferring skills and knowledge, a teacher is responsible for enriching the perspective of his or her student, for providing an example from which to follow, and taking responsibility for this phase of the pupil's life.
