The following words resonated and occupied the auditorium filled with students and teachers. It was the day we celebrated our teachers, our second parents, and our guardians.

“We all know the popular saying that ‘God can't be everywhere, so he made mothers.’ But I won't be wrong if I re-quote the following for our dear teachers.” I started the program organized on the occasion of Teacher's Day. 

“Respected teachers, esteemed principal sir, and dear fellow schoolmates. Today, we gather to celebrate a profession that shapes the minds of future generations.” Yukti began with the introduction.

“A profession that requires patience, dedication, and passion. A profession that is the backbone of our education system – teaching. ‘A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.’” I continued, as a small applause encouraged our speech.

“Teachers are more than just educators. They are mentors, guides, and role models.

Our teachers not only teach us just subjects but also values, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.” Ronika added over the mic.

“Teachers help us students to discover our strengths, overcome weaknesses, and unlock our potential. They shape the leaders, innovators, and citizens of tomorrow, which would further lead us to bring about changes in society.” Akshit addressed.

“To our great teachers, we salute you. Your tireless efforts, late-night grading, and endless questions answered are not going unnoticed. Your influence is profound, and please continue to inspire, motivate, and educate.” The four of us stood together.

“Thank you for all that you do.

Happy Teachers' Day!” We ended our speech and headed backstage as Miss Joshi took over, addressing the meeting and asking our dignitaries to enlighten us with their speeches on the occasion.

Backstage.

“Good job, bachhon!” Shukla sir appreciated our speech as we went and touched his feet for blessings. “May you achieve peaks of success in your life.” He said with a smile.

“Sir, what are the timings for all the competitions?” Yukti asked. “Well, the sports club is almost done with their work, and Ketan sir has asked to start the football competition after an hour or 2.” He informed us.

“And sir, what about the debate competition?” Ronika questioned. “That will begin just after the speeches are done, and tokens of appreciation are given to the teachers.” Shukla sir stated as we nodded understanding.
