Education is never simply about teaching the subject but always about educating humanity.

There’s one thing that my teacher might forget. Once in a monthly assembly, every teacher complemented one student who inspired them that semester. Everyone thought he would choose the students with the highest score, but he chose me! That time, I first realized that teachers don’t judge students by the only standard of score. In fact, Education is never simply about teaching the subject but always about educating humanity.

When I express my gratitude to him, he said:

“I am so glad to have made even the smallest difference for you. You are a warmhearted, hardworking, insightful, and inquisitive student. It has been a true pleasure to be your teacher over the past several years, and I know this place will feel somewhat smaller in your absence. Wherever you go and whatever you choose to do, I know you will do well and improve the world around you. I know you will make a huge difference in the lives of your future students. I look forward to the day when will brag about my student who is now herself a teacher.”
