My Favorite Teacher

Traveling down the memory lane paved a long time ago, I remember when I was completing graduation, what profession I’d pursue afterward I didn’t know, one professor gave my career a direction to follow. A short statured profoundly erudite humble person, introduced me to the fascinating facets of geology, and to the intricacies of the earth in a simple way, expounding its interesting evolution history. The complex lattice of crystals he made clear to me, using designed diagrams and meticulous models, showed me in the field what in the rocks to see, opened window in microscope on the world of minerals. His unique way of teaching influenced my young mind, ingrained in me a deep interest in the marvels of nature, leading me to continue my studies in earth science, creating the launching pad for my satisfactory career. I won’t forget him for I realize with sense of gratitude how the course of fulfilling life a teacher carves out, not only by sensible sustenance of the imbibed acumen, but by molding the mind to be satisfied with the shaped life.
