A teacher, obviously, is a noun referring to one that teaches.

By my experience, I could say, it is my

father whom I consider as my best teacher. Though not a degree holder, but, he contributed a good
foundation of the knowledge that I possess these days. It was him who first taught me the basic
fundamental operations of mathematics. I can recall, when I was grade 1, I was told by my teacher in
school to be one of the students to represent the school in the district-wide mathematics quiz bee. My
fellow representatives hired their own tutors to teach them personally, one on one. There, a problem
arose, we, are in no way, able to pay for a personal tutor. Good thing, he’s there. He filled in what I am
lacking. Right after coming home from a very exhausting day in the banana plantation he’s been
working, doing all the fruit care operation, we would directly settle ourselves on the floor, together with
our small table and we’ll be utilizing the photocopies of the reviewers provided by my teacher. We just
had it in the beginning, and when the method succeeded, the daily mathematics session of my father
and I goes on for the following years of my elementary education. There, I could say, that was a great
foundation of knowledge. I wouldn’t have love dealing with numbers these days if I wasn’t trained by
him when I was young. Moreover, he was the one as well who introduce me to the beauty of art.
Though, not a professional artist, but he was able to share to me the interest to do arts as well. Also, in
the field of agriculture, I usually watch him doing some agriculture stuffs. There, I learned about air-
layering, and even tomato-grafting on eggplant. I also learned some problems in banana like sigatoka
and panama. In fact, I even made it as a subject for our SCIENCE Investigatory Project way back grade 10
where I titled it Brine-shrimp comparative analysis between the effects of Azadirachta indica and
Gliricidia sepium against black sigatoka or Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. Additionally, he’s one of the
reason, aside from my mom, that I’m here on Earth, enjoying the enormous beauty of the crust, yet
facing the circumstances we could say, beautifully challenging. That is, he introduced me to the
circumstances of living and the circumstances had taught me practicality and my system was instilled
with determination to succeed. That might be all, thank you.
