One of the few important people who influence us are the Teachers. They become unforgettable persons when they use new and innovative styles to teach. I feel that teachers should make learning an enjoyable experience for their students.
Sometimes teaching subjects likes Mathematics, Physics etc., needs a lot of patience not only from a teacher but also a student. But the teachers who find some enjoyable ways of teaching the subjects, motivate the students to put some additional efforts in learning the subjects. For Example, I always found Physics as a difficult area of study. But during my first year in the high school, my Physics teacher taught in an excellent way. Our class used to go field trips every other friday to observe the principles that we learnt, in the everyday life. I found that I started liking Physics as I learned the practical aspects.
Many teachers influence students grow intellectually as well as the Phychologically. A teacher who is always cheerful has a very good impact on the Student. When a teacher makes the learning experience a fun, the student learns to deal with more critical problems in the life in the same way. For example, my math teacher during my junior college taught me never to worry when a problem appears to be difficult. I was so influenced by this philosophy that I started taking similar approaches towards the problems that I face in daily life. I always think that there is a solution, simple or hard, for every problem.
Teachers who make learning enjoyable and fun, influence the students. They motivate students to develop interest in the subjects. They encourage students to have a positive outlook to other similar problems in day-to-day lives. In my point of view, it would be wonderful if every teacher tries to make the learning experience a pleasure for the student.
