My father had always been my inspiration, and he still is. Finally, it was Mr Hang who taught me to never give up on my dreams no matter how many times I failed, and how difficult were the circumstances around me.Ī father is a hero to his children, and the sacrifices he makes to bring smiles to his family are incomparable. In fact, it was because of his relentless efforts that I have learned to express my thoughts in English today. Mr Hang inspired me to do better in life as he was never really ready to give up on me (I was really “bad” in English), or any other of his students, until I succeeded. He even used to ask us about how many hours of our study schedules were exactly spent in learning English every day in order to make sure that we were indeed serious about learning English. In fact, Mr Hang sometimes used to ask each of his students separately if they understood his lecture.

However, he wasn’t very happy to see me but allowed me in his class, nonetheless.Īnyway, from the very first day in his class, Mr Hang made it absolutely clear that he meant only “business” and that he was going to make English really “easy” for us. So, I rushed to him and asked for his permission.

And my request for enrolment was denied (because there usually is a high number of college applicants in China but a rather limited number of seats) until, of course, I could manage “special permission from Mr Hang. I came to know about him for the first time when I wanted to enrol for an “English Composition” class, but unfortunately, the class was full. His name was Mr Hang Sen, and he used to teach me English at my college. Today, I would like to talk about one such teacher – my English teacher that is – who influenced me significantly to do better in my life. But, we can probably single out our “teachers” among them to be the “most important”. We owe a lot to some people around us because it is them, who help us, one way or another, to become the persons we are today.

She has that effect on me
