Teachers play such a special role in our lives. They're like guiding stars, lighting up our paths and helping us navigate through the world of knowledge. They're the ones who encourage us to dream big, think outside the box, and believe in our potential.
Teachers are the ones who motivate students to do better in every domain and help them in achieving their goals. Through their guidance, a student knows how to differentiate between right and wrong. Teachers, for me, are the ultimate role models in a student’s life; they must be respected, acknowledged and appreciated for their role.
I feel blessed to have in my life teacher whose “arrival” was no less than a “turning point” in my life after I joined college (Government Degree College, Sogam kupwara) in year 2021. One such teachers in my college life was Dr Tauseef Ahmad Parray (Assistant Professor, Islamic Studies), an accomplished writer/author and scholar, I found a compass which gave me direction to be my best version, and in the latter I found the first and important teacher who gave me the foundation of my new life.
In the Journey of Education, there are teachers who leave an indelible mark on their students' lives. Every journey begins with a guide, and for me, that guide has been none other than Dr. Tauseef sir. His transfer from GDC SOGAM has left me feeling emotional, as I reflect on the profound influence he has had on my writing career. Dr. Tauseef Ahmed Parray, or Sir, as I fondly call him, has been more than just a mentor to me. He has been the guiding light that illuminated my path when I was lost and unsure of my writing abilities. From the very beginning, he believed in my potential and encouraged me to explore the depths of my creativity.
Under his guidance, I have flourished as a writer, with over ten published write-ups to my name. Each piece bears the mark of his expertise, as he meticulously nurtured my talent and pushed me to surpass my own limits. His dedication to his students is unparalleled, and his passion for teaching is evident in every word he speaks.
Beyond the classroom, Dr. Tauseef Ahmed Parray has been a pillar of support and inspiration. He has not only imparted knowledge but also instilled in me the values of perseverance and self-belief. Through his own example, he has shown me the power of resilience and the importance of never giving up on my dreams.
As news of his transfer reached my ears, a whirlwind of emotions engulfed me. On one hand, I felt a sense of loss, knowing that his physical presence will no longer grace our institution. However, on the other hand, I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness for him and his family. His transfer means that he will now have the opportunity to create cherished memories and spend quality time with his loved ones.
