I really don't know how to start. She was different from any other teachers. My class was the only class she taught geography since form one till three and became our English teacher for form four and five. Her name is PN. Kalaichelvi Panchalingam. Everyone calls her PN. Kalai for short but only we will call her full name. She taught geography in a fun way. Eventhough we were in class but literally she made us travel around the world. We just loved her class. She was a mother, teacher and a friend to us.

She will give us the motivation we needed when we are stressed and she will also guide us all the way through. She never complained about our class that we are noisy or too funny because she was apart of us. She could understand our jokes and we laughed together. In the teachers room all teachers know our class because she loves to talk about us. She was really good in literature.She made us do two thousand questions for geography-it may be unbelievable but trust me we did that because we love her teaching and the subject too. She allows us to type our works.. It is really hard to tell what she did for us..she did many great things for us.We had great times..with her. If anyone says bad things about her we don't trust because we know her man-stop bullshitting!! Unfortunately, we just could not understand the fact why did she apply for early retirement. She said she had plans to migrate but we always told her we will not let her go..but when we were in the mid of form five, It happened! She got what she wanted. She said she would rather leave us before we all leave her.
Since our class was her favorite class, we were told to perform for her farewell. We could not do anything coz we were just so sad. Every time we practiced for the song we were going to perform, either one or two of us will begin crying. Especially me..suddenly the times she stood by my side to give me warmth and support. She never let us down nor did we. She was the only teacher who knew the "real"us and knew we could do it! We proved her right.. We got the batch with the highest number of straight A scorer. Even on that day she left us, she ride too but she just said she did not-come on man..we saw!! I remember that day we sang soledad, you raise me up..which really made us and all her other students cry and I was the worst I started crying too much. I just can't control anymore. I just stopped singing and cried throughout.
Then, one by one started crying..looks like no one can hold their tears back anymore.Our love for her is just beyond any ordinary love. We love you teacher!!!Those last hugs we gave her-just cannot forget her.







wonderful piece sweetheart. it is words like this that makes teaching worthwhile
ReplyDeleteHey Kavita :D. Your teacher sounds awesome. I wish all teachers were like her, Its great that she can crack jokes with you guys but is also serious when it comes to studies. Your class sincerely respect her as well which makes the learning much easier cause its not forced. I suggest you arrange your photos more evenly so that there will be less empty spaces. Other than that, big thumbs up on your blog!
