At the thanksgiving ceremony of the batch of 2012 of medical students at the MOSC Medical college, there were some recollections by the retired faculty and the present faculty.
One special feature fo their recollection was the names of the students they remembered and related to them in personal way.
When a teacher has such a personal touch with students, there is a fraternal relationship more than just a student-teacher formal relationship.
I felt enthused by this because, it is such informal relationships which help students in foreseeing their role for the future, in their professional responsibilities.
I had a visit from a resident yesterday, who is a conscientious clinician recalling the challenges he encounters from people admitted to the hospital whom he looks after in the hospital .... to me it was a moving experience of seeing a young doctor thinking beyond himself and viewing others through the optic of thoughtfulness and consideration! He too has the challenge of preparing for the NEET to qualify for post graduate entrance! Yet, this compulsion does not deter him from being highly responsible to those who he takes care of!
Teachers, this is how you impact your students!
