To my Teacher 

[translation from Armenian into English]

The teacher is the person who makes difficult things easy. Ralph Emerson ․․․

I always used to say, "Mom, is it easy to be a teacher?"

Always getting a negative answer, I started arguing with my mother. The dispute was always limited to my mother's words. "When you try to be a teacher one day, then you will have the answer to your question."

Then at school I had the opportunity to participate in the "Student as a teacher" project. I taught dance to our younger students.

As I taught, I realized that the most difficult thing that has ever been,  and will be is the profession of teacher. If you want to be a good teacher, you need to be with any kind of student. You have to try to find contact, to dive into her inner world, include in the lesson, encourage and finally LOVE, because every student feels if the teacher love him or not.

Every grade has its own challenges. It is said that if a student does not appropriate the lesson, then the teacher is to be to blame. So it’s False:

Tired of writing and reading in the first grade, we were learning to read, making the first steps into the new world, while not realizing it was the least we could do.

Now I'm studying in an institution where is a friendship between teacher and student, which is one of the most important criteria. I spend most of my time with people I have already loved. We talk and discuss different topics with each teacher.

With ecology teacher we learn environmental issues,We learn things that I didn't even know about years ago. We study word clusters with an English teacher to improve speech. With a history teacher we look for the ancient history of the country and so on.

They are the people who taught me that DIFFICULTY is the symbol of moving forward. That there is no expression "I can't, that's why I don't learn". There is a aim and a destination, you have to reach it at all costs.

And for the end, I would like to congratulate my TEACHERS who are by my side on every issue and will helpme every time, whether it is early morning or late at night.
