Thought

Today, I thought about what the best teacher is. I think the best teacher is not a teacher who teaches well, but a person who changes students' heart. The reason why I think this way is because everyone can teach students, but not everyone can change students' heart. For example, when I was third grade of junior high school, my grade was so bad. So, I was not able to go to good high school and I gave up to study. One day, my teacher called me and counseled me about going to high school. Eventually, he persuaded me to study hard, and I changed my mind. I studied diligently and I was able to go to very good high school. Although it happened long time ago, I still remember him and miss him. According to my experience, the teacher who changes students' heart is the best.

I think you're right that there are certain amazing teachers in our lives who not only feed us information but who also make us change as people. I must say, though, that I don't agree that "everyone can teach students." I know I have certainly had teachers who could not do this.
