A small note of Thanks

Saturday, March 11, 2006

Some people look the same 10 years after you have seen them last… Some are unrecognizable!

I studied in the same school (AV Meiyappan Matriculation Higher Secondary School) from kindergarten until I completed my higher secondary board exams – 14 years! The school was a year old when I joined and I grew up with it… Many things changed over the years I was there – the school got bigger and bigger! My sis too completed her 14 years there and my youngest sis has 2 more years to complete her stint! She keeps me up to date on all the sophistications that keep getting added on!

I visited my school about a year back… true as she said, it has got even bigger… but one thing that I still love about that school is the teachers who taught me, especially when I was in my primary classes… I met a few old friends at a wedding recently and they took some time to recognize me (everyone who knows me long enough would know the reasons J)…but when I stepped into my school, my teachers spent no time in welcoming me with my name!! Still makes me wonder how they remember for years, the names of students from every batch that they teach! Though most of them aren’t around in the same place, there are a few who would always make a difference to every student’s life out there!

This is for all those wonderful selfless people…

  • Who taught me how to spell and count… Thanks to my kindergarten teacher Mrs Prabha
  • Who taught me words and sentences in English for 5 years and is responsible for my cursive handwriting today… Thanks to Mrs Kalpana
  • Who taught me how to add, subtract, multiply and divide and many other amazing mathematical intricacies… Thanks to Mrs Vijaya
  • Who taught me my second language Tamil and managed to make me score high even in the subject which bamboozled me all through!... Thanks to Mrs. Lakshmi & Mrs. Anantha Lakshmi
  • Who gave me the inspiration to write those flawless language papers… Thanks to Mrs. Sri Padma
  • Who made me unravel the infinite language of science… Thanks to Mr. Iyengaran, Mr. Ramesh, Mrs. Vijaya Lakshmi & Mrs. Meenakshi

And for many others who made a difference to how I am today…

Thanks.

    Probably because they take your attendance daily and recite it like mantras daily.


    Every batch, i think teachers will remember 2 sorts fo ppl. who does amazingly well in acads and sports, and secondly ppl who flunk a lot at acads. If you fall in one of these 2 categories then i am not surprised why she was able to get your name right. And its everyones guess that which category you wud fall into.
