Question

Teachers can either make or break students life.Narrate two incidents from the lesson "my childhood"

Answer 1

Explanation:

Abdul Kalam’s life was influenced in a major way by some experiences that he had during his school days. They were instrumental in shaping his character and later on his career.

Once, when he was in the fifth standard, a new teacher came to his class. He did not like Kalam, a Muslim boy, sitting next to Ramanadha Sastry, a Brahmin. So, he shifted Kalam to the back seat simply because it was in accordance with the social ranking of that time. This was a heart-breaking experience for Kalam. This poison of social inequality and communal intolerance could have demoralized the young Kalam if his friend’s father, Lakshmana Sastry had not intervened. He ensured that the teacher not only regretted his action but also reformed himself.

Another experience that made Kalam a stronger and wiser person was when his science teacher Sivasubramania lyer invited him to his house for a meal. During the meal Iyer noticed that Kalam was upset at his wife’s attitude, so he invited Kalam to another dinner the following weekend saying, “Once you decide to change the system, such problems have to be confronted”.

These two experiences could have had disastrous consequences for Kalam in particular and Rameswaram society in general, had they not been dealt with Farsight and wisdom by kalam’s teachers. Thus, from these incidents, it is clear that teachers can ‘make’ or ‘break’ their students’ lives.

Answer 2

In this question, we are asked to explain two incidents from the chapter my childhood which describes that teachers can make you or break you.

• The influence of teachers on students' lives is crucial. Some of Abdul Kalam's school-related events had a significant impact on his life as well.
• His demeanor and subsequent professional trajectory were greatly influenced by these incidents.
• He had a new instructor visit his class once while he was in the fifth standard.
• A guy with a traditional and limited worldview, he found it difficult to accept a Muslim boy sitting next to a Brahmin boy, let alone the son of a priest.
• He instructed Kalam to proceed and take a seat on the back bench on their perceived social standing.
• For Kalam, this was a tragic event.
• If Lakshmana Sastry, the father of the young Kalam's friend, had not stepped in, this poison of social injustice and communal intolerance might have depressed the young man.
• He saw to it that the instructor repented for what he had done and changed for the better.
• The science instructor he had, Sivasubramaniam Iyer, had a significant impact on his life as well.
• Knowing Kalam's intelligence, he wanted him to get a very high level of education.
• He would spend hours with Kalam and convey his wish for him to grow in intelligence so that he could compete with the highly educated people in the big cities.
• He also wished to remove the social barriers that existed between Muslims and Hindus.
• When his traditional wife declined, he asked him over for dinner nonetheless He used his own hands to give food to a Muslim boy in her ritually clean kitchen before feeding Kalam.
• He dined with him as well and sat next to him. In addition, he extended an invitation for another supper the following weekend. "Once you decide to change the system, such concerns have to be tackled," he told Kalam. These two events changed Kalam's perspective by highlighting the value of addressing issues and combating polarizing forces.
