Teachers play a very important role in the lives of students. They teach, inspire, nurture and raise them to be the best version of themselves. Some teachers go the extra mile for their students to make them feel valued and loved. In an inspiring example of his commitment and love for his students, a teacher made sure all of his students' work was graded hours before he died.
