MY PROFESSION

I AM A TEACHER

I am a teacher not because I went to college
Not because I am taught how to teach
Not because I am paid salary
Not because I have to teach to live
Not because there are no 'better jobs'
Not because I'm compelled.
Not because I want to be called Sir/Master.

I AM A TEACHER because it is my CALLING.

Sometimes I look at my certificate, my school, my pupils as I compare it with my salary, I laugh
When I look at what I teach, how i teach it, I thank God for taking me through college.

But when I sit down and look at the past, how the end has been for some teachers as compared to other professionals, I feel sorry for the profession.

But when I remember that it is the TEACHER that produces all other professionals, I feel blessed.

I am SATISFIED when I see my students becoming useful to the society.

I conclude that teaching is not just my job,
It's my CALLING.
It's my PURPOSE.
I feel proud being a Teacher.
I LIVE to TEACH!!!

An increased store of useful information and the understanding of ...

HERO

My Teacher, My Hero A hero is often imagined as someone with extraordinary powers, wearing a cape, or saving the day in a dramatic fashion. However, not all heroes fight in battlefields or appear in movies. Some work quietly, shaping lives and building futures without expecting fame or applause. My hero is my teacher — the one who has left a lasting imprint on my heart and mind. A Guiding Light From my first day in the classroom, I could sense that my teacher was different. They greeted each student with a warm smile and an encouraging tone, making us feel valued and respected. Their voice carried not just knowledge, but also care, passion, and sincerity. This combination made the classroom a place of curiosity rather than fear, where we were eager to learn, ask questions, and express our ideas freely. Passion for Teaching My teacher’s dedication goes beyond delivering lessons. They make every topic come alive — whether it is a complex sub...

I will take time to explain more on who a teacher is as we read on. A teacher is commonly known as someone who teaches i.e. in a classroom. A teacher is very necessary in the educational system because if we have no teacher, the coming generation would be left ignorant. A teacher is a pacesetter. Who is a pacesetter? A pacesetter is someone who gets good examples for others to follow. A teacher sets the pace in many areas; Educationally, Religiously, Morally and Socially. In an educational system, students see their teacher, especially the little ones, as a person who cannot make mistakes find children even go to the extent of saying 'that is not how my teacher taught us'. In the religious aspect, Christians and Muslims and even traditional worshipers look up to their religious leaders to lead them aright which clearl...
