First of all very nice to read this statement again & again which concludes every one's experiences & the last statement steals the entire post - "Every good might have a bad and every bad does have a good too" The entire post made me nostalgic about my school & college. My friends influenced me more to take commerce than teachers/family/well wishers as my dear friends (gang) were keen on commerce and filled my application along with them though I was perplexed which one to pursue. I was more interested in physics and was eager to learn more but as said it comes as a package where the science package was not packed well to my interest along with chemistry & maths!!! Before getting the official confirmation reg. admission asusual tuition classes used to start at their own pace as per the package in my native and I was forced by family/well wishers to go for science (Physics/Chemistry/Math’s) tuition. It was like everyday matrix movie to me compared to school standards, I was like body present & mind absent on top of that it was boring with science mates for my kind of fun. I was there in science tuitions for around 50 days but used to roam with my commerce friends as their energy’s are always high and the attitude of “Yes” to anything, anywhere, anytime. Finally, I got the admission into science but the matrix movie was still ON except with physics, later with all my courage alone (with out parents) I disclosed my interest on commerce package, my principal spoke to my parents and he convinced home to pursue as per my interest rather than my appeal. I would have opted science group if my school physics teacher has his own tuition classes in college too but ‘life is always surprising’ I ended with commerce subject. I believe our influence & interest will drive us & we explore more on what we want rather than family/well wishers force. Now I wonder why we need tuitions? To study again on what we have studied in college? Then, what we studied in college.? Why the quality of education is always below par in most of the govt. schools/colleges till +2? The same teacher running evening tuition who used to teach us the same subject in college? Its actually weird to discuss further especially on our education and can be concluded as “More Money, More Quality” One more post to conclude you the good & best scripted again, wish many more to GO….

Nevertheless my case was a bit of a contrast, where I sucked at Maths and aced Biology. Ironically maths runs in my family and it was bit shocking how I was awful at it.

It is one such roles I adore a lot. Very few profession earns easy respect from public. In that aspect teaching is a Godly profession. The level satisfaction is immense when you see your student shine like star! It certainly requires passion. I would say good teachers can earn respect faster than good doctors! I did have an opportunity to take a special lecture for 12th standard students as an engineering student. I don't believe that I did justice that day but certainly kept the session interesting for an hour. I still remember the way students spoke to me after the session (I was reacting as if I was an renowned engineer :-) . I earned respect in one hour with minimum experience :-) Vj,

Looks like I'm certainly not alone on this one! Like Reema said, the teachers play such a crucial role in invoking the interest for a subject. They can make you love a certain subject or otherwise. I think the reason why we have teachers who don't care is that they lack passion. There are certain professions where passion is a must. Teaching is one. If you don't have that passion or if you just take it up as a job, you can't do justice. Goodness me! Looks like I’m certainly not alone on this one!

I too has gone thru the similar situations where the school teacher is my tution teacher and alas the fact that he only completes my homework which he has assigned to me in the school. That's where I never suffered about the the Sin and cos until 10th as he use to give me the important questions and use to mug the formulas for chem and maths :-) In 10th defently I came out of the comfort zone and need to face reality of understanding the subject and move ahead. Thats where my choice of commerce intiated and today Iam in Investment Banking world by my Choice. To be lucky to be here where I thought to be. Vjy,

To think of it, a teacher is extremely critical in invoking love for a subject, unless of course, you have a natural inclination towards it. I never understood anything in science too. Whatever paltry marks I got was because of mugging. A very good post….brought back old memories!

My father was a professor in Chemistry but still Science never fascinated me.. sounds ridiculous..but true.. !!! Thanks to one of my cousins, I got interested in commerce and today I am here. I also had a similar experience after 10th standard results. I scored for the only time in my life above 80%, to be precise 86%. Pressure was there to go for the "first group" but was determined to study Commerce and did that.. I also agree with the last line.. "every good comes with a bad". Thats what I feel at times after deciding to study commerce.. Pure Mathematics was and still is a dreaded subject to me!!! Never able to understand the sin, cos, theta, differentiation and integration...unfortunate. Hi Vijay,

Infact very relevant for me as well. I am an Electrical engineer who always wonders why the yell I mugged up those lengthy Chemical equations? I seriously dislike Chemistry. My teachers aren't the reasons though! I like physics and biology. More biology because I like to to sketch! I believe I do have reasons to have completed science with biology as first class with distinction and B.E Electrical again first class with distinction and now working for an investment bank. I believe the reasons are, at school I met my life time friends and also got a certificate to go to college. At college I met my better half and also got a certificate for my food. At office I met my corporate gurus and my life style changed! What I learnt in the process wasn't driven by me unfortunately. May be I wasn't as determinant as you were in making my own choice then. But certainly I am loving the results! I meant the whole package ;-) Vj,
