Effective use of internet & computer for Academic Research

Someone who is a coach, role model and friend,
Never tells you how or what
Who offers new perspectives
But helps you find the answers within yourself
Who nurtures his people to be better than himself 
Someone who shows you all the moves
And then applauds from the stands, 
as you break the stereotype,

Lets nurture the leaders within us!
Happy teachers day!
