You made me understand teacher’s mission and importance. I discovered lots of useful, necessary and important things fro teachers which I didn’t know before. Especially I was surprised by stories which showed connections with mentor and mentee relationships... I came to a conclusion that teachers should always keep on searching fro new knowledge, new ways of teaching and enriching their outlook.
