The goodness of being a teacher…

I am a teacher and I am proud to be a teacher. You may ask me why I am a teacher and what is so good about teaching. There are many reasons but basically I am “In-Christ” doing HIS will. The opportunities to mould and shape the future generation are almost limitless. I’m in the most enviable position of interacting with a ready group of studentsfor 202 days on a daily basis in a year. Seeing my students make progress, guiding them and becoming successful in their own field gives me great joy and satisfaction. No doubt, there are tears and challenges, but they make my life interesting like a yo-yo.

As Alan Parker says:

“We become teachers for reasons of the heart. But many of us lose heart as time goes by. How can we take heart, alone and together, so that we can give heart to our students and our world which is what good teachers do?”

So, let us move on with passion and focus on being a teacher.
