A single moment in a classroom can shape how you see yourself for life.
Yesterday was #WorldTeachersDay, and I happened to having a very fitting conversation with Nolwen Attou Izebatene over a cup of tea about how deeply education weaves into our identity.
She told me she still remembers, vividly, her first-grade teacher yelling at another child, humiliating them in front of everyone. It scared her. But it also made her realize something profound: teachers don’t just teach lessons; they shape how we see ourselves and others.
Confidence, empathy, and self-worth… these are not subjects you may find in a textbook, yet they define how resilient and successful we become.
A great teacher doesn’t just pass on knowledge; they build people.
They remind you of your inherent value.
They show you that you matter.
To every hashtag#teacher who uplifts, listens, and believes in their students, thank you for the invisible work that shapes the world.
