The student is the most important person in our lives. He or she is not dependent upon us – we are dependent
upon him or her. He or she is not an interruption of our work but is the purpose of it. He or she is not an outsider to
our business, but a part of it. We are not doing him or her a favour by serving him or her, he or she is doing us a
favour by giving us an opportunity to do so. - Borrowed and adapted from the sayings of Mahatma Ghandi
