Essay for the purpose of celebrating teacher's day

The Shepard Of Lost Sheep This morning I had just dropped my younger brother to his high school before off to work.  It was Teacher’s Day so there were no classes and they were going to hold programs in honor of teachers.  It made me remember a certain teacher who I got to know during my sophomore year.  He was my teacher in Asian History and I have to admit he left a deep impression on me especially since I my class was the most naughty and rebellious section at the time yet he manage to get through to us.  Whenever I remember how the rocky relationship we had and how he never gave up on us, I always refer to him as the “Shepard of Lost Sheep”. We weren’t exactly the model class but the class teachers dreaded to teach.  Yet he would come and teach us and even if we drove him up the wall, he still kept the class under control.  One day we found something we could agree on because he showed that he was willing to go adjust his approach and find ways to make learning fun.  It wasn’t him changed so did we as we started to know him better, classes started to go smoothly and exchange of ideas started to increase as we participated more in the topics discussed.   What was rough start ended well as the school year came to a close and summer vacation began. Through some miracle, I made it out of high school and even more surprising finished college.  I have to give credit for that. He showed that not only was learning fun and that teachers were also people who are good once you get to know them.  When I think about Teachers’ Day, I remember the dedication he put in just to teach us because he believed had something special and never gave up on us because of that.  Just like a shepherd who finds all his sheep no matter how lost they are.
