Today is 24th of December which is a special day for teachers. In Turkey, we as students generally buy presents for our teachers.Even for just one day, we would like to celebrate this day in order to show that we respect to our teachers and they deserve being respected. In my country, being a teacher is a very important job in that teachers are stated to be the people who change the posterity. In addition to this, the Cabinet in Turkey gave the title of fundamental teacher to Ataturk in Ankara`s meeting which was held in 11th of November in 1928. 24th of December is celebrated as teachers day since 1981 which is Ataturk`s birthday. Today I also celebrated one of my teacher`s day in high school by sending a message because I really respect my teacher in high school. Actually, I can call him as a lifesaver. My city is a small city and its library doesn`t include any English book. In other words, I can say we don`t have English sources; however, my teacher used to give course when I was a high school kid studying for the biggest and the most important exam called OSS. He went to Adana ,the distance of which takes 6 hours from my city and collected lots of books for us. Thanks to him, we were able to pass the exam in our first year. I am thankful to him in that he is a great teacher and inspirator for his students. I really would like to be a good teacher as he is. He not only encourages you but also shows how to catch a fish. We also celebrated the day of my teachers who are in Mersin, and now I, as a teacher candidate, really would like to celebrate the teacher day of my teachers in Denmark. Happy new Teachers Day, dear Dorthe, Ann Christine and Peter and I would like to state the quotation of Ataturk which is like '' Teachers! The new posterity will be your masterpieces'' .
