Mentors that made me into the<br \/>person I am today. Teachers don\u2019t just teach you the subjects that<br \/>are assigned to them but they give you lessons about life. But there<br \/>always is that one teacher that leaves an everlasting impression on<br \/>you.<br \/>For me that teacher would be my 7th grade Urdu teacher, Miss Khula. She was someone who without a joke changed her student\u2019s lives. I was one of those students who was under the umbrella of her wisdom and guidance. A girl who was always shy and extremely reserved, talking to other people or simply in front of them was no less than a task, she made me rise above all my fears.<br \/>Her biggest quality was handing her students confidence that never really left even today. I still remember when she called me up to her desk and asked me why I never spoke, to which I simply replied without giving it a second thought that I was afraid, for that answer Miss Khula gave me her tiniest smile and said<br \/>\u201cfear kills more dreams than failure ever will\u2019\u201d and quietly went back to<br \/>her work. After that confidence became my middle name and I never looked back.<br \/>Thanking a teacher is a small gesture that is always appreciated<br \/>but not near enough what they deserve.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teachers are arguably the most important members andfoundations of our society, because they shape young minds,spread wisdom, give values and&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/beyond-the-blackboard-the-mentors-we-never-forgot\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">BEYOND THE BLACKBOARD THE MENTORS WE NEVER FORGOT<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":385,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/385"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1109"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1111,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1109\/revisions\/1111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.beaconhouse.net\/413\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
