There are forty two teachers on the staff of my school. All of them are efficient and qualified hands. But of them all, I like Mr. Satya Pal, M.A.,B.T., the most. He is a teacher after my heart. He teaches us Physics and Mathematics.
He is a seasoned man. He is the master of his subjects. He says that he is yet a student. He studies hard for six hours daily. He is very fond of research. He gives us novel and interesting solutions of riders in Geometry. He solves even the hardest problems in Physics in no time. His explanations are always clear and lucid.
He studies carefully the tendencies and aptitudes of his students and directs them along proper channels. He is in the profession because he loves and likes it. He is in it by choice. To him it is a passion. It is the be-all and end- all of his life.
He is inspired by an inner call for the vocation of teaching. He is a true torch bearer of knowledge. He is a man of sterling character who serves as a living and ennobling example to his pupils. There is a close personal touch between him and the students. He inspires the students with moral and spiritual ideals more by his life and example than by precepts.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
He is the fountainhead of most of the activities of the school. He trains his students in the art of writing and public speaking. He takes an active part in our games, sports, dramas, debates and other activities. He has a heart of gold.
I feel enamoured of him. He is the maker of the careers of hundreds of young men. I feel deeply indebted to him for what he has done for me. I shall always cherish his memory with love and respect. India badly needs teachers of his calibre and qualities of head and heart.
