Hello,
It's that time when I’m starting to say goodbye to some people, getting closer to some in a better way and to others in a worse way. Today was my last day of vocational subjects in technical school. The fact that the teacher who taught us these vocational subjects only started teaching us from the second year, not the first, still amazes me but also fills me with admiration, how someone can bond with others so quickly in just 3.5 years. I'm talking about a teacher who is exceptional in his field, who was able to engage us with his lessons, cover all the material, and still add something extra. Maybe I view this person exceptionally because he spent the most time with me from the group, preparing me for competitions, often working with me to design and test electronic circuits for younger classes for the following year. This is how I’ve been learning for these 4.5 years as an electronics technician, with only half a year left of general subjects. He often showed an unconventional approach and proved that there is a solution to every problem. For example, when Google and other services block access through an anti-spam bot to avoid alarm messages from the alarm system, so the school wouldn’t have to pay for a mail server, he made a small modification using one of the laptops for exercises. He’s just a person who teaches out of passion and is a wonderful person.
However, I don't yet feel the full pain of losing lessons with him because he will be running extra classes for the exam next month, for which he won’t get a single penny since the local authorities refused to pay him, which is ridiculous. In my case, it’s also for the competition, but I can clearly say that I’m starting to feel this is the end of this stage, which makes me sad, especially since there are so few teachers nowadays who can engage, guide, and invest in teaching.
You don’t always get to meet a teacher of this caliber. Cherish the memory of a great instructor and human.
