The Meeting

Today, my teacher heart is extra glad. On my way out of our college building, i met Nessy, a former student in three subjects. We often exchange text messages before and i could say she is one of the closest students to me.

I was not able to contain my happiness, when i saw her the only thing i was able to think was to hug her. No words can describe how much that hug means to me. I no longer cared about the reaction of the other students who had seen us, what mattered to me earlier is i saw a dear friend after some time.

The event somehow tells me, it is incidents like this that give extra special glow to teachers like me. Somehow it tells me, indeed it is always rewarding to be a teacher.

for me it is very importaant to the teacher to mingle with the students because it is also important in the part of the teacher.for me as a student under the advisory of maam shai,i will not think anything that is not good for both of them because it doesnt mean anything,it is just a teacher student relationship.

For me its just a normal reaction when you saw a friend of yours and you want to express your feeling to him. And also we have our right to express whatever we feel to somebody, there's no excuse for it so for me there's no problem about it. We have our different perception if we saw a teacher and a student that are very close to each other.

polines, marie cris said...

for me nothings wrong if you wanted to hug somebody, its just one way of showing that you you cared for your student . ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS.So what if others saw you do that to your student?. yes, maybe they would think of something else, but still you have the right to do that.And, somehow your student would feel that somebody cares for him, just dont go beyond it.

For me, there's nothing wrong about what did the teacher do to the student because as we all know, if we saw the closest friend and its been a long long time ago you did not saw each other, actually if you saw her again you can simply do that thing because you miss her\him so much...

For me, teacher and student relationship is very important because a teacher can be consider as our second parents here in school and also a good friends.
One factor that student get high grade is when the teacher has a fair treatment, no favoritism involves..that is commonly existing today..

For me, we should cherish the person that made some history in our life, especially those person who contribute some good values that help to improve our self, to the teacher and student, they are very true to each other, even on my part it is really normal if we saw again a person for a long time you cannot seen,you have really a feelings of excitement.And I think some of the teacher saw their self to their student when they are still a student, and maybe the teacher seen how the student strive, and it made them appreciate.

For me as a student,having a good relationship to a teacher contributes a great factor in our studies. Teacher can share his or her experiences which may serve as our inspiration. Being close to them is just normal.No law forbids students to be close with their teachers.

Having a good relationship between a student and a teacher is a good thing. Since our teacher is our second parents, its okay to express our feelings and for them to express what they feel as well. I think it is just normal.

Elma Dabucol said...

for me having good relationship to your teacher is not good because when people knows that you and your teacher are so close with each other people will think a negative meaning they will think that you and your teacher have a special relationship.

there are times when people feel comfortable in the prsence of people who are special to them... in my case i really like to become friends with my mentors because for me i treat my teachers like my second parents and it is in my instincts that i think of them as my parents... student and teacher relationship is vital to both individual as to make them understand each other much better.

Teachers are human beings and students are human beings too.. And for that we have common desire and the ability to mingle with each other. thats why for me, there is no reason not to communicate with them because we are all friends and friends do share what are the happiness that they felt..

...a teacher and a student who can get along together, understand each other. for me, true friendship doesn't matter if into what status you belong, as long as you are compatible to each other and you're just showing the real you.

"Being a teacher is not just a profession but also a vocation."

I am really proud of my teachers becasue they really give inspiration for us to become a better person. They sacrifices so many things just for them to mold us into a better one.

In that situation that's a good example of a student-teacher relationship, we cannot really control everyone especially in showing their emotions if how really greatful they are of having that kind of person who inpired you to be a better one.

Ive always wanted to be a teacher. I can feel the calling to be a part of that profession. The joy of leaving imprints on the minds of the future professionals, makes me smile. I do believe that teaching is a noble thing to do.A profession though not really so rewarding in terms of salary and yet builds better people, as well as better government.
Aside from the joy of sharing knowledge to the students, the friendship earned in continuous contacts is the most rewarding one. Friendship if following the real meaning of it, is a treasure that seldom ever find. It cant be bought by money, toiled by wisdom but its an attraction that brings two different people together. The feeling that someone cared though haven't seen in face, gives comfort that you are not alone.
And when fate destined you to meet once again, you know in your heart, that you are not alone, and that you found a home.

For me this kind of relationship is really heart-warming.In a sense that the teacher did'nt just build up a student-teacher relationship but also the term we call friendship.The teacher showed to his student what he could offer beyond his payable salary.

Being a teacher is not an easy job dealing with different characters of her/his students. Having a close student when your a teacher is not bad. For me, meeting again the person close to you for a very long time whether a student or not is overwhelming to the heart because you know you've been together for a while and spend lot of laughs and unforgettable moments. The profession has nothing to do with it as long as you friends.

Torrefiel, Serna C. MWF 11-12 said...

For me, it is just a normal thing when you express your feelings with someone else such as your friends. there's no other meaning of that except you love him as a close friend. speaking of teacher student relationship, ahm, it's just also normal, bcoz sometimes we want to jamm w/ them.

As a student, teacher-student relationship is not BRUTAL as what other thhink of.There is no wrong in having or seeing that kind of relationship.

As what others says, there is no escape of LOVE. No one is exempted!
If you love, you are ready to face all the consequences. Thank You !

Its nice and felt great when someone misses you.

MISSING YOU means........
-he/she considered you as an important someone that he/she treasured as time continue to pass by.

But it's more nice and better if you've seen an old true friend that you've missed a lot, right???

True friend means brings true happiness in our life. The memories you've been together, whether sad or happy, the laughter that echoes till twilight, the sweet hello and hi, nonsense jokes are just seem to be unnoticed but gives a lot trough all the seasons all life.

That's why I'm happy since i have s friends that are true. that some may leave or gone but leaving a memorable mark in my little world....

It is not awkward to say that you mingle with your teacher.A teacher also can be a friend and as well as consultant at times if we need there help because if there were no teacher we can't able to learn. As a student it is advantage to have a good relationship with a teacher that contributes to our study.

It's nice to make friend to the teachers. Especially when the teacher is so nice and have a good personality. Just like what happened to Nessy, she was hugged by the teacher. It's so flattering when the teacher hugs the student. It's like you are special to her/him.

Well, for me, it's really nice to make friends with my teachers and I appreciate it the most when a teacher responds positively. hehe.. I really honor those teachers who builds up good relationships to their students for it really matters a lot to me, as student. It makes me smile and feel so inspired.

Thank you Ma'am shai...:-)

Teachers are our second parents.They mold our confidence,teach us,care for us,and specially they touch our lives and build our future.
Its nice to know that the student and the teacher has a good communication.It is easy for the student to ask or consult the teacher because the teacher is approachable to him/her.But,there's still a
limitation.A teacher is a teacher,and a student is a student.
