“They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don't know it.” –Nicholas Sparks. ‘They’ in the first sentence refers to our teachers. They have been our second mother and from them, we learn a lot of things. Different things that inspire us and makes us a better person. Because of that, our teachers can be considered as a hero.

One teacher that inspired me was Mrs. Lilian Tamayo. She knew me since preschool for she was, I think, the longest teacher that taught me. She inspired me to do my best in life, since I took the entrance exam in Cavite National Science High School. She showed her support to us exam takers and because of that, I was really courage to pass the exam. Still now, I am at CNSHS, I do my best to impress her, showing everything she taught me was worth it. Every time I visit my alma mater, I see her and she still never fails to inspire me. She is a kind teacher and when you meet her, she acts like a mother that is why every student she handles is very comfortable with her. I'll never forget the things she taught me, the things that made me a better person right now.

Words cannot express how much I am thankful to have her as a teacher. This Teacher's Day, let us let our teachers who inspired us a lot to feel the warmth and love from us students.
