Tribute To My Favourite Teacher

At first you came to our class... 
         only six of us to be taught,
We shivered under your sharp eyed frown,
At our spelling mistakes.... 
                                     your nerve wrecking lectures,
For our undone homework.... 
                                     it is true...
We were too scared to crack jokes with you,
           Too scared to speak with you,
                      But now, 
thirteen of us are left speechless,
Through this four years of journey, 
                                                             impressed...
Not by Einstein, 
                  not by Avogadro,

But by the unseen angel 
                                          in 
                                              you.



A tribute to my science teacher. She has taught us for four years now, starting at grade six. As she is the only English medium science teacher in the school, we were destined to endure her highly strict nature until we're done with our OL's, but now, she has turned in to a dear friend of ours both in and out of the science lesson. Whether we have shaped into her preferences or she to our ways, still remains unknown. May God bless her.
