In this day and age of globalisation, infoff rmation is overflff owing, it is

everywhere. However, this leads to people thinking that they can learn anything
by themselves through the use of the Internet. While it is not entirely faff lse, there

are many caveats. Teachers not only act as a catalyst which can hasten students'
learning process, but they can also shape students’ lives. They provide guidance
and assistance throughout the whole journey of exploring this faff scinating world. I

believe that saying teachers shape students' lives is not faff r-feff tched because they
lead us to the correct path in lifeff , they correct our mistakes and enchant us with
their wisdom and experience.

To fiff nd lifeff 's meaning and to fiff gure out our passion, one mmust acquire a good
grasp of the direction that they are headed to. However, we are unable to come up

with much when we know so little. This is where teachers play the crucial role of
leading us into the right direction. In this process, they can provide insightfuff l

advice so that we can avoid the pitfaff lls and achieve a better learning experience.
Besides that, a teacher with great patience and love is able to transfoff rm a student,
making them turn over a new leaf by the time they graduate. A teacher will never

lead you astray and make your lifeff miserable. As long as the student takes in what
the teachers say to heart and makes good use of the knowledge they obtain, they

will surely prosper later on in lifeff . In short, teachers shhape students' lives by
leading them to a brighter path. Just as boatss iinn thee vvast ocean rely on stars to
fi f f gure out the right direction, we trust our teachhhers in leading us to the correct way

in lifeff .
