On a fine Sunday night, as I was listening to a sermon about forgiveness, I was thinking about her again. The Lord is telling me to approach her and tell her that I'm sorry and that I apologize for all the pain I caused her. I was having a battle in my mind, someone from behind patted me on my shoulder and said...

..?: Hey, you shouldn't hesitate in asking for forgiveness. You don't have to be bashful. God didn't hesitated in forgiving you. You should not have any second thoughts, too.

Me: Excuse me, sir? But, do I know you?

Martin Luther King Jr. : I am Martin, Martin King Jr. I was here because I discerned the trouble that is in your heart.

Me: O-oh. Sir King. Hello. I am very honored to talk to you. For someone so great like you--.

Sir King: No one is greater than He who is in us, dear. So, what is the real score between you and your friend?

Me: I honestly don't know, sir.

Sir King: I know you know what happened to me and my fellow African-American people, right? We were discriminated because of our color and our race. I was assassinated during my speech.

Me: I know that,sir. We studied your biography in school.

Sir. King: I made a legacy. And that legacy remained in the heart of every African.

Me: How did you feel when you were shot? Did you feel anger? Hate?

Sir King: Of course I felt the pain because of the bullet. In my mind I was thinking of revenge. But I remembered the grace of God. How he forgave all sinners. So I forgave them. Because nothing will happen if I become angry to them. And it is said in the bible that love you enemies.

Me: It's just that it's hard. And she started the fight, so I think that it will be unfair if I approach her first.

Sir King: Maybe she is just shy. It is also said in the bible that love each other and in that way you will be known as God's children. So you should initiate. It is not for her, it is for you.

Me: Thank you sir for telling me these things. I was blinded by my anger.

Sir King: You're welcome my dear. I must go now. I am done here. Goodbye my dear. Remember to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Me: Yes sir. I will never forget that.

               Doctors? Engineers? Scientists? Architects? Behind all of this people is a person that they can never forget. Behind all successful person is a teacher that tried to shape and mold them into a better person.  A teacher that sleeps late just to finish her lesson plan. A teacher that wakes up early just to open the classroom door and to make sure everything is okay when her students get inside.  A teacher who tries her best just to make sure that every student understands the lesson. A teacher that acts as our second mother. And I thank all the teachers around the world that never gives up in teaching. Thank you for all the effort and sacrifices that you make just to make sure that we understand every lesson. 

     Teachers are very important in our life. They are part of our life. We should acknowledge them whenever we grow up. If we become successful, we must never for get them. Because they were once our mentor in life. and we shouldn't forget every lesson we learned from them.
