Mangaluru, Sep 5: “Teachers are the ones who give lots of love, support, positive energy and encourage the students. Teenage is for hard work. Teachers’ day celebration is a celebration for myself, as I am being honored and felicitated for being a teacher for the very first time, even though I was felicitated as a social worker several times before. My self-esteem is going up,” said Prof Hilda Rayappan, founder and director of Prajna Counseling Centre.
