Muthu Iyer
When Kalam was 5 years old, he had a teacher Muthu Iyer. He took a special interest in Kalam because he performed well in class.
Iyer played a crucial role in nurturing good habits in Kalam. One of those habits was teaching the importance of good handwriting. Iyer noticed that Kalam's handwriting was "very poor". He gave a three-page writing exercise and told Kalam's father that he should ensure that he does the exercise every day regularly.
One day, Iyer gave a lesson on how birds fly. After the 25-minute-long lesson when none of the students, including Kalam, were unable to understand that concept, Iyer took the entire class to the beach to give a practical example. The lesson left an indelible impression on Kalam. On that day evening, he thought that his future study has to be with reference to something to do with flight.
Iyer later told Kalam to complete his basic education and then take up higher education in subjects related to flight science. Kalam took Physics in college and went on to study Aeronautical Engineering from Madras Institute of Technology.
"That one incident of my teacher encouraging me to ask questions, showing the visual examples proved to be a turning point in my life which eventually shaped my profession," Kalam recalled later.
