Can you imagine your life without women in society? How do you feel when you hear the word women? For me, it comes to my mind my mother whom I can't ever imagine my life without her because she is everything in my life and I can't replace my mum with anything; whatever they are, a person should respect them .

In the past, the majority of people were closed minded towards women and didn't believe in the great role they were playing, and are still playing. Obviously, they were considered only as housewives who were taking care of their children and their husband’s needs . Besides, the girls didn't go to school and they didn't have the right to learn how to write and read because their community, then, thought that knowledge is just for men and the destiny of girls is marriage. However, nowadays, thank God, women become more respectful and are involving in discussion of all the society cases and work in all the areas of life because they are the corner stone of the society, and this is what I believe in.

Women, now, aren’t only considered the rocket booster of society but also a model to follow. Accordingly, I take my ex teacher of the previous year as a perfect example to follow her path. I am not the only one who likes her but she is one of the most favorite teachers of many students of the school. In fact, she gave meaning to my life. She is very disciplined; I like her so much because she tries to teach us good things in good ways. She always advise us never think negatively and always be positive and happy when we think and do something. She changed me and she changed the way I see life. She makes me know that there exist teachers who give us information with feelings. Absolutely, she makes me know that the teacher is a human who shares with us feeling along with many values. She was successful in her personal life. I know that she is a great wife and a lovely mother of two children. Although, she is a worker woman but she looks after her

husband and children. Also she is doing her housework as any other housewives. My ex teacher is not the best just in her private life but also she is very good in her job; she has never feel bored of her job as a teacher in simple school. She is famous by her love to help others because she schedules extra hours for the weak students, especially to prepare with them before the exams. Also, she had never seen her careless about some students who have psychological problems; on the contrary, she helped them to come over their weakness and encouraged them how to be able to face life and its difficulties. I have learned from her many values and principals like love, honesty, tolerance, peace, respect, courage also help others and never fail to try because her goal was teaching us to succeed in our study and our life too. She has been a big inspiration and has always pushed me to achieve my goals. I always have that hope to be successful in my life with my own experience as her. She has a good sense of humor also she loves shopping, food, travel, read books, and fitness; she has a wonderful sense of adventure. All of these

make me love her personality more and more. Actually, I will become a great teacher like her in future. Finally, as we know there is no doubt that woman is a source of creativity freedom and a statue of stability and never forget the fact that « behind every successful man is a great woman behind».
