There are teachers who transcend time for their wisdom, for the sympathy they gain in their relationships with their students and family.
Paradigm in these tasks is teacher Elba González González, who continues clinging to the blackboard and chalk despite the fact that for more than 50 years she embraced the learning of her students from the classroom; and although she did not rejoin the magical space of the school, it is because her health has not allowed it.
Being just a teenager and having only finished primary education, Ella Elba did not give up her efforts as an educator and joined teaching, bringing mastery and love to pedagogy.
In the humble neighborhood of Los Itabos in this municipality of Calixto García, this beloved teacher began her work, remembering with nostalgia those students who today count among the grateful grandparents.
For this eternal educator Elba González González, teaching and educating requires a lot of time, enough for the teacher to know the interiors of the students and their family, to successfully delve into the art of teaching and educating.
And the Cuban thinker and philosopher José de la Luz y Caballero said it well in one of his aphorisms, “he who is not a master of himself will not be a master of anything”RR, and in another he added, “Make teachers respectable and they will be respected.” ”.
This dedicated and intelligent teacher still keeps valuable pages in her memory that nourish her pedagogical experience to transmit with her own light to new generations.
