Professor Tom

Professor Tom is our literature professor at university, and
because he is the best professor in the faculty, I consider him

my hero. If it wasn’t for Professor Tom, it wouldn’t have been
the same for me here, and a lot of other students would say
the same thing. Professor Tom is such a selfless person; he

considers everybody’s problem to be his own, and he tries to
help, and fix it if he can – even if it exhausts him, takes time,
or requires him to go somewhere else. I have always tried to
be like Professor Tom. I want to have empathy for other people
and try to understand their situations, as well as counsel them

on their problems – just like he does. I really cherish the time I
spend with him.
