There is no doubt that influence by other people plays a significant role in people’s daily lives in many places. Some say that students are more influenced by their friends, others disagree. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. If I had to choose one, I would say that students are more influenced by their teachers. Here are a few reasons why.
First and foremost, Teachers can give you guidance and advice which can motivate and lead your life in the right way. If you listen to them well, you are likely to be sincere and moral in your life. For example, when I was in elementary school, I always enjoyed teachers’ stories besides academic stuff. They said we have to be well-mannered and be nice to people so that we can be respected by others too. I carefully paid attention to what they said and truly absorbed everything. I think my moral and ethical attitudes were all formed by teachers during those times.
Another reason worth mentioning is that teacher can be your role model. You can pick up good things from your role models. For instance, I was very amazed by one of my teachers because she has great teaching skills. No matter what she explains, I could understand very easily and naturally. Additionally, she always wore white cloth and put a name tag on them. It looked so professional and confident. I really admired her and I thought if someone wants to be a teacher, she could be a good role model and standard for everyone.
In short, I firmly believe that students are influenced by their teachers for the reasons mentioned above. You can’t overstate the importance of having guidance and advice from a teacher and having a role model in the pursuit of success in life.
