    In 1994, the 5th of October was designated as World Teachers’ Day to commemorate teachers’ contributions to the world through the adoption of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation. During this year’s world teachers’ teacher we asked the Uganda Christian University (UCU) to tell us their best memories with teachers as a way to celebrate our teachers. What was your best memory with your teachers while studying?

    Back in primary five, my teacher, Madame Apoline, awarded me for improvement in my academics. This was after an awarding ceremony that the school held to award the top five students in every class. This influenced me to believe that if I want something good, I must work hard for it. That is how my teachers influenced me.

    One of my teachers back in Seeta High School chose me as an organizer for our prom and also gave a speech on behalf of the class. This has helped me to be a leader because it starts with you and then you teach the rest of the world. It is through this that I learnt to be a leader.

    When you think of the memories back then,you start to laugh, for it teaches you a lot about what you are experiencing right now. Teachers have done a lot towards our upbringing. Hence, we are, to an extent, who we are today because of them. My memory is of our teachers teaching us how to welcome people into classes and other occasions through songs that we sang on entry with creative dances.

    What you learn from your teachers or from school is what our parents would have taught us if we had spent more time with them while growing up. I say this because 90% of our time is spent in school and the teachers get to know who we are and how we behave and try to shape us for a better future. It is not a memory but an appreciation of the teachers.

    Back in Senior Two,I had gone through many highs and lows down the road and hated school,but one of my literature teachers in Buloba High School gave me advice and comfort and showed me a different perspective of the world, from which I learnt a lot. It is through her influence that I appreciated literature and also what perspective it gives when it comes to society.

    Joel Muhumuza-BAMC

    As a sign of discipline and responsibility, our teachers followed the adage, “spare the rod, spoil the child.” When we went astray and did the opposite of what was expected of us, our teachers always brought us back to the right path, even if it was a painful way, but when I look back as an adult, I appreciate what they did because I am now a responsible person after great discipline.
