It is well-known that teachers represent the most worthy and confident source of knowledge to almost all human beings. When teachers spend a lot of time with their students, especially with young children, they become second parents. However, could students be more influenced by their teachers than their friends? I concur with the statement for some reasons I will explain as follow:
Overall, teachers embody all of the qualities to be good examples to their students. They teach students how to be good people in society play an important role in human life. Therefore, from the eyes of students, all teachers influence to follow. Usually, students see an example on them and want to mimic their behavior as well. For instance, my professor of sociology was a kind person. She always taught us how to act fine in different situations. One day a classmate did not have money to get the materials for doing a job, and she gave him all the materials to complete the assignment. Curiously the project of our classmate was the best of all, and his happiness was incredible. Since that, we have learned the sense of help others always we can.
Additionally, teachers are not just authority but also can be reliable people to their students. Students who keep their same schools for years, use to get the subject from the same teacher until the end of school. That means teachers will be a model of influence to their students because of the time, the knowledge, and experiences shared during the entire academic period of students. Indeed, students tend to feel love and respect for those who taught them the basic and important stuff to face the world by themselves.
On the other hand, friends can be just a person with whom share enjoyable moments. It does not imply you will want to be like your friends or be influenced by them because of their bad way to act or thought. For instance, parents sometimes do not allow their children to keep a specific friend because of their behavior, which interrupts that bad influence and probably cuts down that friendship forever. By contrast, it never occurs with professors.
Putting all those arguments together, we can conclude that professors bear on students’ life more influence than their friends can represent to them.
