Moments of Togetherness with my teacher changed my life

Our life is like a journey or a train ride that has many stops and as it stops at many stations so many people get on and off the train and in this process we come across many people. Some of these leave an unforgettable mark on our lives. The moments of togetherness spent with them gives us a new perspective of life and prepares us to face life. better and give us the insight to deal with life.

I was good in almost all the subjects however when it came to history my mind simply failed to tick and it almost shut down. However hard I tried the dates and the events just petrified me. It seemed like a mental block that I lived with for several years. Then in class X it was a do or die situation for me. As the marks obtained in class ten are used to decide what subjects I could take in class eleven. As I wanted to take science it was of paramount importance that I score well. However conquering history appeared to me a feat more difficult  than conquering the Everest. I was very lucky that I was good in other subjects so I thought of trying to make up for lack of good marks in history by scoring good marks in other subjects. However it was essential to pass in all subjects to be promoted to the next class. Class X being boards I could not take a chance. Then my mother took me to a history teacher who used to live close to our house. Since I was scared of the history subject I was even more petrified of the teacher as she looked at me sternly.  She looked at my report card and smiled at me. She asked me why I was getting such poor marks in history where as all my other marks were much better. I confessed that I got confused with dates and whenever I open my history book I start feeling sleepy. She understood my predicament and painstakingly explained each chapter to me. She taught me history as if she is telling me a story where each character is of equal importance.She assured me that I would not fail. She explained the details of each chapter as if she is explaining to a friend. Without the fear of failing and learning in a friendly way helped me learn and pickup the lessons quickly. This togetherness that I shared with my teacher made me realize the importance of every subject. I also started respecting her a lot.She was more of a friend than a teacher and now we were tied with the bond of being #together. Being with her I could discuss all my academics with her and she would  suggest shortcuts to memorize important information.Then one day before my exam she called me and gave me a ready reckoner she had prepared for me. It had all the dates and main points of my history syllabus clearly marked. With its help I could revise the entire syllabus withing two to three hours. This time spent with her had a life changing effect on me. My teacher had become a mentor, a friend and a guide.   She also taught me how to attempt the question paper. This helped me not only in the history paper but also in other papers as well. In fact the skills that I learned from her have helped me in every exam of my life.
