The Teacher's Letter Shaina Tranquilino November 2, 2024

The bell had just rung for the last time that year. As students filed out with shouts of summer plans, Ms. Carter let out a sigh of relief. This year had drained her more than any before. Fifteen years of teaching had never felt this heavy. The paperwork, the restless students, the late nights grading — it all weighed on her spirit. She glanced around the empty classroom, wondering if her efforts had even mattered.

As she gathered her things, she noticed a small envelope tucked between piles of essays on her desk. The handwriting was familiar but hard to place. Intrigued, she opened it.

"Dear Ms. Carter,

I don’t know if you’ll remember me — you taught me in ninth grade five years ago. I was the quiet one in the back, always drawing in my notebook and probably looking like I was ignoring you. But you always saw me anyway. You’d ask about my sketches, encourage my art, and never made me feel like I was too small or unimportant to matter. I just wanted you to know that you were the first person who made me believe my art was worth something. Now I’m studying to become an artist, and I get to pursue my passion every day because you saw something in me that I was too afraid to see in myself.

I remember you told us once that teaching wasn’t just about giving answers but about helping us find the courage to ask questions. That’s what you did for me. You might not think so, but your work is a light for kids like me. Thank you, Ms. Carter.

Gratefully, Lily Green"

Ms. Carter sat down, the letter trembling in her hands. Her mind flashed back to that quiet, artistic girl with shy smiles and a fierce talent. The memory felt warm, like sunlight spilling over a cold morning. She hadn’t thought about Lily in years. Yet, here was a reminder that she had, even in her smallest efforts, made a difference.

Her eyes filled with tears, but they weren’t of exhaustion or frustration. For the first time in what felt like months, she felt something awaken in her heart — a spark of joy, gratitude, and yes, purpose.

Ms. Carter carefully folded the letter and placed it in her bag. Tomorrow, she’d rest. And next year, she’d return to this classroom, knowing that every small kindness, every moment spent paying attention, had the power to transform lives.

The Silent Architects:: The Unseen Power and Lasting Impact of Teaching

What profession do you admire most and why? Introduction In a world filled with countless professions, each contributing uniquely to society, one stands out to me as the most admirable: teaching.

A fitting tribute was paid by Assam Down Town University's performing arts program to Dr Birendra Nath Datta, one of the most renowned academicians and performers in the country. He passed away recently after suffering from a long period of illness for a number of years. With the lighting of an auspicious candle, Dr Sagarika Mahanta Das paid floral tribute to the soul of the deceased, and by doing so Nibedita Baishya chanted the Dweepa mantra along with the lighting of the lamp.

In addition to this, the author also describes the various stages in which Dr Datta's career as a singer and composer evolved, culminating in the creation of his important chapter on the history of modern Assamese music as a result of his extensive experience in these fields.

As part of the school's performing arts programme, Khushi Kisan, Yaki and Parthana Hazarika performed a dance and monologue in a fitting tribute to the artist as part of the school's performing arts programme.
